With semi-classical pieces on his previous three recordings, Jackson proved he had not abandoned pop altogether in June 2000, with this issue, an album drawn from an August 1999 concert.[2] It featured Jackson playing the piano and singing, backed only by Graham Maby and drummer Gary Burke, performing some of his old songs and several covers.[2]

The shows were recorded by Steve Remote and Sheldon Steiger over three days in August 1999 at Joe's Pub in Manhattan.[3]

In 2017 independent record label Intervention Records released Summer in the City for the first time on vinyl with mastering done using high-resolution archives[4]. This is the fourth Joe Jackson vinyl release from Intervention Records[5].

gollark: Well, they might be useful if you want random small-screen devices for controlling/monitoring things.
gollark: However, the "trusted" bit of the name is a misnomer, in that it's "trusted" by arbitrary companies of some kind and not the user themselves.
gollark: It has some nice-for-users features like that you can, say, make your disk's contents unreadable if you take it out and stick it in another computer (without also having the TPM to do things to).
gollark: It's basically a bit of hardware built into the CPU for storing secret keys the user isn't meant to be able to access.
gollark: And similar accursed DRM schemes.
