[1] It was recorded at Knight Center in Miami, Tupperware in Kissimmee, Auditorium in West Palm Beach, Music Hall in Cleveland, Veterans Memorial Auditorium in Columbus, Syria Mosque in Pittsburgh, and Sundome in Tampa during the To the Extreme world tour, from January to March 1991.

It was produced by Gail "Sky" King, DJ Earthquake, Peter Loomis, Khayree, Kim Sharp, and Vanilla Ice.

According to Browne, Extremely Live "affords you the chance to hear inane stage patter [...] and unaccompanied drumming, during which, one assumes, Ice and his posse are onstage dancing".

[3] Robert Christgau gave the album a dud rating.

[4] AllMusic reviewer Steve Huey wrote that the album is "not so much awful as instantly forgettable".
