Steve Winwood at the Rough Hill Festival, U.K., Aug. 19, 1978

This appearance at an outdoor festival was Winwood's first-ever solo show after leaving Traffic. Soundboard recording with numerous cuts, which I've tried to smooth out as much as possible. The worst is in Low Spark, which ends suddenly just as Winwood's getting started on a great synth solo, but there are also gaps in Nobody Knows You (end of the guitar solo) and And Then He Kissed Me (in the last few bars). It sounds like the tape may also have been subjected to some noise reduction processing along the way.
