Review from Carsten Brenski:
The CD must be a recording from a radio broadcast in the Netherlands. The sound is not too good, even regarding it has been broadcasted (no bootleg). But it's still worth listening, though. And the show is real rare.

See the Glossary entry for Dr. John for more information.

Note: from Simon Gee
I've had correspondence from a friend of the Meters, and they say they are certainly not on this and have never recorded with Van! The date is also wrong - it's 1977. The line up is the same as other shows around this time and the Wonderland tapes - Dr John, Mo Foster, Mick Ronson, Peter Van Hooke. Obviously the Italian 'producer' of the boot made up his sleeve notes!
