Recording information: 11/1979.
This was the best record Korner had made since 1962, and featured a core membership of former acolytes--Charlie Watts, Jack Bruce, and Ian Stewart. The sound is as much jazz as blues-influenced, it was all cut live on tour of Europe, and nobody involved ever sounded better, happier, or more relaxed. This was both Korner's and Stewart's final effort. ~ Bruce Eder
