[edit] Production and Marketing
The album was recorded in Tampa, Miami, and Orlando, Florida during the band's Flesh & Blood tour.
[edit] Songs
The double album features live tracks from Poison's first three studio albums and four new studio tracks, which were the last recorded before guitarist C.C. DeVille's departure from the band within that year.
It also includes a 9-minute long guitar solo by DeVille, which was nominated as the worst guitar solo of all time by Guitar World in its December 2004 poll entitled "100 Worst Riffs, Licks & Solos of All Time." [1]
A Single Disc version was released in the UK during 1991 through Capitol Records.
