"Due in part to Donald Fagen's reluctance to sing onstage and he and Walter Becker's ingrained perfectionism, Steely Dan gave up touring by 1975. This superb live broadcast recording is therefore a rarity; not only does it showcase the very best of the songs from their first three albums, it also features "This All Too Mobile Home", which was never recorded in the studio. Furthermore, the remarkable version of "Your Gold Teeth II" is substantially different to the later released version on "Katy Lied" (1975). The intro is similar but the piece continues as a lengthy instrumental extension of the opening riff, quite unlike the poppier, vocal version later released. This concert was part of a tour in support of Steely Dan's third album, "Pretzel Logic", which had been released a month earlier, in February 1974. A rare instance of a great band performing at the very pinnacle of their career." (bron: Smokin') In de band vinden we Jeff Porcaro als tweede (!) drummer en Michael McDonald als achtergrondzanger.
