Recording

The album was recorded at two concerts held in November 1975. The first show was at the Boston Garden in the band's hometown (Boston, Massachusetts) on November 15th, and recorded by Record Plant East Remote with David Hewitt. The second was recorded by Metro Audio Detroit four nights later at Cobo Hall in Detroit, Michigan, the same city where the band's other two live albums "Live" Full House (1972) and Showtime! (1982) were also recorded.[2]

The track listing on the original release has several incorrect song titles. "Must of Got Lost" is listed as "Musta Got Lost", "Lookin' For A Love" as "Intro:", "Start All Over Again" as "Start All Over", and "Ain't Nothin' but a Houseparty" as "Houseparty". "Musta Got Lost" is possibly a simple error, but the other two are seemingly stylistic choices, as the label on the record notes the real titles of the songs in parentheses.

Personnel
gollark: I would argue that both explanations are roughly as "simple" as each other, so meh.
gollark: Never attribute to malice that which is adequately explained by negligence/incompetence, except maybe do because people can be either.
gollark: What's "MSM"?
gollark: Apparently their initial plan was just to hope for herd immunity or something, based on models they came up with for a flu pandemic, but said plans had handwaved the issue of ventilators, and the models didn't actually match COVID-19, and it took them a while to actually do something about this.
gollark: The UK doesn't seem to be doing hugely well with this whole thing to be honest.
