Principally recorded live at the Universal Amphitheater, Los Angeles, California.
In 1978, the idea of a live disco album seemed almost laughable; that the album was by Donna Summer, whose studio creations were polished to a futuristic gloss never seen before by producer/writers Giorgio Moroder and Pete Bellotte, seemed downright ludicrous. The naysayers forgot, however, that Donna Summer possessed one of the finest voices not only in disco, but in all of pop music.
The live portion of this set combines Summer classics with unexpected but excellent covers of standards like "The Way We Were," and a medley of "The Man I Love" and "I Got it Bad and That Ain't Good." The studio material includes Summer's theme to THE DEEP, "Deep Down Inside." Unfortunately, the 17-minute "MacArthur Park Suite" has been excised to make the two-album set fit on one CD; that essential track is available on the DANCE COLLECTION anthology.
