"The basic tracks for 1. and 5. were recorded live at KCET TV Los Angeles during the production of our TV special. The guitar solo in 1. was recorded live during our 1974 concert in Helsinki, Finland. This album was produced between December 1974 and April 1975 simultaneously with our next album (coming soon). I hereby pronounce myself ready to go back on the road."
