Comments :

This Album was recorded over 4 nights at Long Beach Arena, Los Angeles, USA (March 14, 15, 16 and 17 1984. A really great live album. The sound quality is unbeatable on this live album and the band was in full shape for this mega show. The World Slavery Tour 84/85 really began for the band as early as june 20th, 1984, when they based themselves in Florida, USA, to rehearse for the tour. This was followed in early August by five days of pre-production in Hannover, Germany, where the whole stage set, P.A., lights, etc. were put together complete for the first time.

The first concert was in Warsaw, Poland, on August 9th, 1984, and continued through 24 countries for 322 days. During this period, the band travelled nearly 100,000 miles, used 7,778 hotel rooms, 6,392 guitar strings, 3,760 drum sticks, 3,008 guitar picks and consumed about 50,000 cans of beer, 30,000 soft drinks, 6,000 pints of milk, 2,500 pints of orange juice and litterally tons of food.

The equipment, all of which the band owned, was transported in six forty-five foot articulated trucks - all FORTY odd TONS of it!
