It was recorded on January 14, 1967 in the middle of a ten-day engagement at the Latin Casino in Cherry Hill, New Jersey - Brown's first at an upscale nightclub.

Like most of Brown's live albums, overdubbed crowd noise was added to the original recording for its LP release.

In 2009 Hip-O Select released a 2-CD Expanded Edition of Live at the Garden.

[2] Because Flames member Lloyd Stallworth had left the group during 1966, The Famous Flames lineup on this 1967 album consisted of Bobby Byrd, Bobby Bennett, and Brown himself.

In 1968, after this live album was recorded,(and after the double album, Live at The Apollo, Volume 2), Byrd and Bennett would also leave, and The Famous Flames were officially disbanded, leaving Brown as a solo act.
