4th album release by Imperiet is a live album recorded after Blå himlen blues and in the aftermath of a long international tour, which brought the band to Nicaragua, Mexico, Cuba and the USA. The album is recorded Aug. 2, 1985 [in Swedish: album title] in Sweden at Västerås folkpark, Västerås (near Stockholm).
Imperiet had long been known as a fabulous live band, which this album also serves to document; however, it's mostly just for fans, as the sound and production isn't impressive, but then you know it's recorded as is without post-production overdubs.
