The album was recorded during the band's sold-out concert at the Greek Theatre, on June 11, 2023.[3] It became the first on the band's catalog to appear on several charts on the UK.[4]
The release of the album is intended to be accompanied by two films: a documentary and the live concert that became the live album, both of which are yet to be released.[5]
Background and promotion
This was a celebration of our evolution personally and how our fans have grown with us throughout all these years. We’ve been doing this for about 15 years now and we see fans all the time that have been with us since day one.
The band announced they would be playing a sold-out concert at the Greek Theatre, in Los Angeles, as part of their tour. This show marked the second time Ross and Rocky played at the venue, having performed there in 2015, as part of their previous act R5.[7]
For American Songwriter, Ross said that the song "Summertime Baby" was only included on the live album because of a sample that the band couldn't get permission to use, so they couldn't add it to one of their studio records. On November 21, 2023, they released the live rendition for the song "A Kiss", along with its video, in advance to the release of the album.[6]
Commercial performance
On the UK, the album appeared on a few of the charts, including the UK Independent Album Breakers Chart at number one, UK Independent Albums Chart and UK Record Store Chart, both at number nine.[4]
