High was an Indian rock group from Kolkata, established in 1974-75, and arguably one of India's finest bands from the 70’s and 80’s. Although their music was heavily influenced by British and American rock acts like the Grateful Dead, Allman Brothers' Band, Pink Floyd and Traffic, it was in terms of their original compositions that the band gained a huge cult following. Although High disbanded with Balakrishnan’s death in 1990, the band has retained a cult following over the years. A collection of the band's recordings were released on the Saregama label in 2009.
