1. Roll With It
2. Back In The High Life Again

This was an event called the GQ Magazine "Man Of The Year" Awards and they put a handful of tickets on sale to the public that seemed like all of the balcony seats. Basically, Dennis Miller emcee'd this awards ceremony and David Bowie was the headline performer. For some reason they had Steve Winwood come out only twice to perform one song each time- whereas Bowie got a full, albeit abbreviated, set time (as compared to other shows around that time). The event was being filmed for broadcast and in an effort to get proper camera angles, lighting and sound there was a lot of down time that Dennis Miller was supposed to fill, but the stage directions seemed disjointed and they would tell him they were ready, so he would announce the guest, everyone would cheer, but then no one would come out leaving Miller to vamp with the audience until someone else told him they were ready, when he would reintroduce them. It was rather strange.
Anyway, Winwood only played these two songs, but there was 13 minutes of awards between songs that I edited out, since they had nothing to do with his performance.
