The album contains three live tracks from the band's critically acclaimed One More from the Road: "Gimme Three Steps", "I Ain't the One", and "Free Bird".
An Alternate version of the album [3], with different artwork, substituted the original 1973 studio recording (from (Pronounced 'Lĕh-'nérd 'Skin-'nérd)) of "Free Bird" (timed at 9:08) for the much longer live track (timed at 14:10).
The album was certified Gold on 3/25/1980, Platinum on 8/18/1980 and 3x Platinum on 7/21/1987 by the RIAA.
