Recorded in 1976 during the band's Face the Music Tour, this album, along with 1974's The Night the Light Went On in Long Beach are two official releases of the band performing live. Bassist and backing vocalist Kelly Groucutt features prominently, taking over lead vocal duty on several tracks that do not feature him in this capacity in their studio forms. The album also gives the listener a rare opportunity to hear the "Eldorado Suite" performed live (although "Poorboy (The Greenwood)" was edited out of the Suite on this release), plus a live version of The Move's only US hit "Do Ya" before it was re-recorded by the band for their 1976 album A New World Record. This album also excises two instrumental soloes originally performed during the show: a cello solo by Hugh McDowell and a violin solo by Mik Kaminski.
