Most of the material in this double set was recorded Dec. 10, 11 & 12, 1973, at the Roxy, Hollywood. Other portions were extracted from road tapes (4-track 15-ips masters)of show #2 Mothers Day, 1974, at the Auditorium Theater in Chicago and the recent gymnasium extravaganza at Edinboro State College, Edinboro, Pennsylvania, May 8, 1974.
Some of the material has been overdubbed (Bolic Studios & Paramount Studios, Hollywood), but all basic tracks are live. The Roxy remote recording was done by Wally Heider ((16-track 30-ips), engineered by Kerry McNab (who also is responsible for the re-mix of the whole album). The engineer for the road tapes was Bill Hennigh. None of the road material has been overdubbed.
