The album was recorded during the band's 2009 European Tour, wιth Pavlov's Dog performing songs from their previously released albums, their then upcoming album Echo & Boo, David Surkamp's solo work Dancing on the Edge of a Teacup,[14] as well as one song from Hi-Fi's EP Demonstration Record.[15] During the introduction of the song "Breaking Ice" David Surkamp states that Pavlov's Dog dedicate the tour to the memory of their original violinist Siegfried Carver who died on May 30, 2009.[16]
