This release features a 1980 live performance by the Brecker Brothers in Stockholm, remastered from a high-quality soundboard source. Since the original audio was already excellent, only minor tonal adjustments were made; however, distracting hiss between tracks was removed, and radio DJ commentary between songs was edited out. Additionally, the interview segment that originally preceded "BAFFLED" was seamlessly extracted and moved to the final track position following the concert. While the atmosphere is relaxed—with the band taking the time to introduce the next song between most tracks—the performances themselves are tight and masterful, making this an outstanding release. Thanks to the high sound quality, it is also recommended for newcomers.
