The first recording is from a show on 16 October at the Schleyerhalle in Stuttgart, Germany. The second is from a show at the National Exhibition Centre in Birmingham, England on 9 November, which would be the final show Ritchie Blackmore did with Deep Purple in England.

The live album Come Hell or High Water from 1994 was recorded at this Stuttgart show. The Birmingham show was released on DVD as Come Hell or High Water in 1994.

In 2007 each show had a separate release, in a jewel-case, being titled Live in Stuttgart and Live at the Birmingham NEC. The Birmingham show was soon deleted, Ian Gillan advising fans not to buy the release, describing the performance as one of the band's worst.[2]
