It was recorded at the Pine Knob Music Theater in Clarkston, Michigan on September 4, 1982.

While some critics consider it to be weaker than the group's two earlier live albums "Live" Full House (1972) and Blow Your Face Out (1976), this release captures the band at its commercial peak.

The tracks are drawn primarily from the four studio albums released since Blow Your Face Out: Monkey Island (1977); Sanctuary (1978); Love Stinks (1980); and Freeze Frame (1981).

This was the last release by the band before frontman Peter Wolf's departure in 1983.
