The official press release announcing the album arrived on February 5, 2015. This was only after the information leaked  a couple days earlier and after months of speculation. The album is Van Halen's first live album with their original lead singer David Lee Roth and second bassist Wolfgang Van Halen. The album features songs from every Roth-fronted Van Halen album, including their 2012 release, "A Different Kind of Truth". However, the album has been criticized for Roth's vocal performance. According to Eddie Van Halen, the band originally wanted to remix 25 original song demos that Van Halen had done before they were signed to a major label, however, the original tapes could not be found. They  then considered releasing recordings of their early club performances, but the sound quality was deemed too poor. As a result, it was decided to choose a concert recording from their A Different Kind of Truth Tour. According to Eddie, they had a Pro Tools workstation attached to their mixing board each night of that tour. The cover artwork is an update of an existing 1935 painting of the SS "Normandie" by Cassandre.
