This double album contains recordings that were made on the evening of the 31st of March in the Nieuwe dela Mar theatre in Amsterdam. One of the four sides is covered by The Day You Left, a composition that had been part of the repertoire for quite some time but was never released on record, because it is based on improvosations, and gets off much better in front of an audience than in a studio. Most other pieces come from the album Variations on a Lady and The Lady's Back, but these live recordings are very different from the studio versions. Four solos are added in the opening number, East-west Express, a harp is used in Aoife and April 3rd starts with a sitar improvisation. On Variations on a Lady the slow first part is left out and the flute improvisation is extended. The encore Sofia's Foreplay leads to a love scene between two birds.
