 The album's title was taken from a line in the song "When the Music's Over".Following a resurgence in the band's popularity due to the 1979 film, "Apocalypse Now" featuring "The End", and the 1980 release of the first Doors compilation album in seven years, "Greatest Hits", the push was on to release more Doors' music.The recordings are from various concerts during the period 1968 to 1970 including shows in Los Angeles, New York, Detroit, Boston and Copenhagen.
