Content
The cover photograph was taken by Mick Rock in the foyer of the Rainbow Theatre shortly before the concert began. The bemused stare between John Cale (right) and Kevin Ayers (left) is said to be explained by the fact that Cale had caught Ayers sleeping with his wife the night before the show.
Other songs that were performed but did not make the LP include Kevin Ayers' "I've Got a Hard-On for You Baby" (with Cale on backing vocals), John Cale's "Buffalo Ballet" and "Gun", and Nico's "Janitor of Lunacy" and her rendition of "Deutschland Über Alles".
