The performances were recorded in 1975 at three California venues: Swing Auditorium, San Diego Sports Arena and Oakland Coliseum.

In a review for AllMusic, William Ruhlmann gave the album three and a half out of five stars.

He notes that Winter only wrote one of the songs and added: All the songs are basically vehicles for his guitar playing, sometimes performed in unison with [second guitarist Floyd] Radford.

Winter plays fast, filling up measures with torrents of notes that must impress any guitar fan, and he earns the big cheers heard in between numbers.
