Excerpts from the sleeve notes:
Having done it—at last I now find it
difficult to understand why we released more than twenty LPs before
we recorded a live performance to a club audience. It was our dear
old mate Walther Klaebel of the Danish Music Centre who made the
decision for us. "I know two Campbell Groups" he said; "The one on
your records, which is musically disciplined, formal, a little
tense; and the other one the club audiences see, which is friendly,
sweaty, boozy, funny, relaxed and much wore fun . That is the one I
would like to have on record." So we went with him to -Aarhus, a
town that holds a special place in our hearts, where Peter Max runs
one of the best clubs in Europe, and there at Tagskaeget we let it
all hang out. The audience there know us so well that they often
make requests not just for songs but for favourite jokes, and they
were so enthusiastic and friendly that they almost made the record
for us. We performed for four hours and enjoyed every minute, and
though we have space on this record for only a of those minutes I
think if will give you some idea of what happens when, the Campbell
Group and a few hundred friends get together.
