Review (Guitars101) : This is a Westwood One concert from Winwood's first "High Life" tour. The sound is excellent as is the performance. The mix of songs is fine with a number of Winwood's mainstays, which he would continue to perform throughout the '80s and early '90s. "Low Spark" is a piano/voice only short version that leads into a short but cooking "Glad," with a burning tenor saxophone solo. There is a funky, rousing "Valerie" and "Higher Love" with a wonderful Latin feel...This disc is available in... CD version with fewer tracks.. And also a double vinyl version, which is the most complete of this concert...Any version is highly recommended. The double vinyl is still very available and quite reasonable. Steve Winwood's first solo tour in the US had Low Spark as the opening number with Steve playing alone on the piano, before he counted the rest of his band in, for a stomping version of Glad. A nice contrast in its much abbreviated and simplified form.
