The album was produced by John Paul Jones of Led Zeppelin, a band to whom Ann and Nancy Wilson paid tribute with their band the Lovemongers. "He was a prince among men," enthused Ann.[5] The cover photograph shows an old picture of a young Ann & Nancy Wilson with a candle.
The album reached number eighty-seven on the U.S. Billboard 200.
In 1995 a VHS was released under the same name and with the same cover containing another concert from the same tour. The video was reissued on DVD in 2003.
