Despite sharing the same title, there are no recordings on this album in common with the High Road videocassette/DVD, which was recorded in Fréjus, France on 27 August 1982. In 1990, the four songs from the album appeared on the band's third live album release Heart Still Beating, mixed with the rest of the songs from the Fréjus concert.^{[citation needed]}
