This concert was recorded in 1973 with a very similar line-up to the later releases Dark Magus, Agharta, and Pangaea, featuring Al Foster on drums, Michael Henderson on bass, Mtume on percussion, Dave Liebman on sax, and most importantly Reggie Lucas and Pete Cosey on guitar. It contains some material from the previously listed albums, and plenty that is not, at least in any recognizable form.
Miles was recovering from a car accident, but refused to quit playing. \"Just because I was forty-seven years old in 1973 didn't mean I was supposed to sit down in some rocking chair and stop thinking about how to keep doing interesting things. I had to do what I was doing if I was going to keep thinking of myself as a creative artist\", he explained in his autobiography. Bassist Michael Henderson was one of the first notable bassists of the Jazz-Rock era as well as one of the most influential jazz and soul bass players of the past 40 years. Before working with Miles, he toured with Steve Wonder. Miles heard him in early 1970 and reportedly said to Wonder: \"I'm takin' your f***in' bass player.\"
