Remastering guru Steve Hoffman, who spent many hours with Brother Ray, wrote that Ray Charles said he "hated" the live album.*
Hoffman believes that Ray felt the Shrine gig "was an off night for him. He owed ABC an album and couldn't come up with it for reasons we all know. At first ABC was going to issue a compilation of leftover tracks as ABC-500 but ended up doing the [...] live concert thing with the same number."
* On the other hand, Hoffman says, Ray "blew hot and cold about almost all of his ABC-Paramount work".
