Liner Notes

"ABOUT THIS ALBUM...

In 1976 we played for a cozy group of 27,500 deranged fanatics in New York City (13,500 for three shows at the Felt Forum, at Halloween[1], and 14,000 for four shows at the Palladium the week between Christmas and New Year's[2]). All of these sold out concerts were promoted by Ron Delsener (who we hereby thank), and attended by some of the nicest people we have had the experience of playing for (who we also hereby thank). New york last Christmas is what made this album possible."

— FZ, 1977.

Background Information

Recorded at The Palladium, New York, 26th - 29th December 1976.
