The back of the box gives wrong information regarding the source ("Recorded live in concert at the Guillaume Tell's Palladium, Geneva, Switzerland, June 19th 1979") when in fact the tracks are taken from two radio concerts – see above. This was researched by Klaus Scherer. There probably was no Geneva JJ concert that year. On 19 June 1979 there was a concert in Brussels.
