Background
The exact date for every single song has not been made public, but the introduction by Claude Nobs, most of "Flute Solo Improvisation", "Too Old to Rock 'n' Roll: Too Young to Die", "Aqualung", "Locomotive Breath" and "The Dambusters March" were recorded at the Festhalle in Bern, Switzerland, on May 28, 1978. The next two days[5] saw concerts in the Walter Köbel Halle in walking distance of US Army Azbill Barracks[6] in Rüsselsheim, thus the "large percentage of young American boys" greeted at the beginning of "Jack in the Green" was likely there, and not during the following dates in Hannover and Kiel (British zone), in the UK or in the US.
The Bern show was recorded on a 24-track tape recorder, while the rest of the shows were recorded on a TEAC TASCAM 80-8 eight-track recorder. Ian Anderson recalled going through "hours and hours" of recordings in order to select the best takes. Additional sweetening was done at Maison Rouge Studio in June 1978. [7]

Release
A spelling error on the spine of the first US, Canada, Spain and Sweden LP pressings listed the title as "Busting Out".
The album was later re-released as a double-disc CD in the UK and Europe. The original CD release in the United States was only one disc, with three tracks ("Quatrain", "Sweet Dream" and "Conundrum") omitted and some of the stage banter shortened to fit the 80 minutes running length. The double-disc 1990 CD version in the UK and Europe incorporated the first track, the introductions, in the song that followed. In 2004, the complete album was remastered and released worldwide as a two-disc set, with the introductions as separate tracks. A deluxe remixed edition was released June 21, 2024, incorporating new mixes of the Bern tracks that had been missing on the original album (but were released, albeit mixed by Jakko Jakszyk, on the "New Shoes Edition" of Heavy Horses) for a complete representation of the live setlist, previously unreleased soundcheck recordings and a remix of the Live at Madison Square Garden show, the latter also including the filmed footage on DVD.
