      this is the end of this recording. 
  this may be the encore break and higher love 
the only encore, as it is listed in the etree 
list for the last song in the next night's show 
in Saratoga Springs, N.Y. although the N.Y.C. show 
of Sept. 12 mentions back in the high life and gimme 
some lovin' as the encores, after higher love as last 
song before encore, so those may have been played in
that same order here too. I think that is likely the 
case. Steve and his band were in fine form for this show 
and gave an inspired performance, probably the typical 
full length 100 minute or so show.
this recording seems to be complete up through the end
of "I'm a man" so this is most of the concert. 
I can't find a part II, Either the master, or my copy 
of it could not be located.
etree does not have any listing for this show at all.
 comments:
 this is a pretty good recording of a nice concert
from the tour of Steve's 4th solo album, "back in 
the high life". not sortakinda, either, they play 
the whole album in  this show and most of this tour.
unfortunately this recording is missing higher love, 
the biggest hit, but far from the only big hit on 
that album, which has Randy Brecker, Joe Walsh, and 
Philip Saisse (from Al DiMeola's band) helping out.
It has some rather minor tape source flaws in split 
decision, and may be missing some songs at the end
but it's the 1st 14 songs of the show (very slight 
cut-in to my love is leaving after tape flip).
 not sure of the lineage of this but I believe it 
to be a 2nd generation tape copy from a Sony D-5
with Nak. 300 mikes Bill Koucky source recording.
not sure, I got it awhile ago and didn't list its 
source on the tape. This is not the show broadcasted 
on Westwood One FM (that one was the 1988 concert here)
the 1st 1 min. + of track 1 is mono (until 2nd mike 
is connected) and there's not alot of crowd noise,
even though it was a nice performance and the crowd 
liked it.
do not sell this recording.
share freely, losslessly and gaplessly.
