Recorded live by and for the King Biscuit Flower Hour at Long Beach Arena on 27th February 1976, except two tracks recorded at Springfield MA, 26th January 1976.

Album compiled and co-ordinated by Mike Howell and Simon Robinson.

Note that this has been released with two separate titles.

The King Biscuit Flower Hour (a US radio show) recorded a concert with DP in Springfield on 26 January 1976. However, this was later tampered with and deemed unsuitable for release. Thus a second concert was recorded at Long Beach Arena a month later, on 27 February 1976. It this latter concert that has now been released on album, with a couple of bonus tracks added from the first date. The European & US releases have different packages, track lists & titles. They might also have been mixed differently. The US sleeve notes are written by Bruce Pilato and contain bits and pieces of a Glenn Hughes interview, while the European sleeve notes are written by Simon Robinson. Note also that the back cover of the European release states that "Not Fade Away" is included in "Highway Star (version 2)" [track 14] while the booklet says it ain't. The booklet is correct.
