In the 1970s, double live albums were often the calling card of an act that had either made it's mark or were about to explode to international fame. They were a marker of confidence by both the record label and the artist. Angel was no exception as all eyes had been on the band for some considerable time in preparation for an anointment to the premier league. With five studio albums behind them there was no shortage of material from which to compile this album. Recording two concerts in California during 1978, the band had a red hot selection of tracks that incorporated such nuggets as 'Tower' and 'Feelin' Right' (complete with a Jeff Beck tribute) from their very earliest, prog-influenced, days to the pop metal of 'Ain't Gonna Eat My Heart Out Anymore', 'Got Love If You Want It' and 'White Lightning'. They also found room to include some surprises, such as a fine rendition of the Mott The Hoople standard 'All The Young Dudes' and a studio track, '20th Century Foxes', recorded for the 1980 Foxes film soundtrack.
