This is a great show to say the least. It starts off with a favourite, Bird of Beauty, which is given a nice extended treatment. The show also includes another track from Songs In The Key of Life which was not released at the time of this performance. He performs a fantastic version of If It's Magic accompanied not by a harp but by his own piano. During the first half of the show Stevie also pulls out two unreleased tracks called Yea Ya Do & I've Been Away Too Long. The show really starts to get hot around Too High when Stevie and the band get into a nice little country type jam which then slips into a smoking version of Boogie On Reggae Woman quite unexpectedly. Stevie really goes off again at the end of Living For The City playing some deep clavinet funk lines that set the place rocking. He is really in great form playing very heavily through You Haven't Done Nothing. The show ends with a spectacular version of Superstition and some crazy sustained synth effects on Stevie's part to leave the stage in style. This is a great example of Stevie's raw performance power. He takes you through the old, the new, the soft, the hard and the funk!
