You Tube ^

Thought someone out there might enjoy. Blind Faith was a group that included Eric Clapton, Steve Winwood. I think all the greatest bands came from that era.

I recall seeing this posted to FR before at some point in the past couple years (I guess)... but things being what they are with "surfing" YouTube videos in stream of conciousness fashion at 2:30am... it brought me back to it, and it is just too good not to share once again

Traffic - The Low Spark of High Heeled Boys

[FredZarguna]

Wow, I was thinking Mozart. But I guess most on FR are not as old as I am.

Me thinkum stick on hollow log.

And some days not even have stick and usem head.

Blind Faith was first so-called Supergroup

They were good ......their original album cover would be called child porn today by the strange.... the way Houses is

I think Mr Baker drove off Eric and Steve....and Grech

Tks for remembering we ancient

Its was a good time to grow up....a true youth culture it was.....if only by sheer population bubble

And the music.....amazing really

Glad so many young folks mine it for their own pleasure

“Older music’’? The Grateful Dead.

[DaveA37]

“Most of what came out of the late sixties is drug addled crap”.......

It sure as hell wasn’t “music”.

[Caipirabob]

How old is “older”? I listen to “oldies” now but they are all Brasilian pagode.

Eclectic selections indeed, but no Manhattan Transfer or The Band ?

[Old Sarge]

There is no great music after 1990. Nothing that will withstand the passage of time.

Back then, lyrics and song were poetry put to music.

How can you compare things like “mutha-mutha-bitch-ho” repeated for 3:30, to “Stairway to Heaven”?

[Albion Wilde]

Zeppelin.

I sometimes listen to classical on my commute home from work. I find it calms me down if (when) traffic is bad (as it always is in Houston). Then I am in a decent mood when I get home to the wife.

Ya think there might have been some Ego’s? NAH! me neither :-)

It takes me back to Alan VanTassel’s basement where along with the likes of Led Zeppelin and Frank Zappa and The Mothers, I first heard this record. Long ago and far away, yet, just like yesterday.
