- This recording also circulates dated 02/01, 02/14, 02/19 and simply "February 1975"
- Sansouci Studios may or may not have existed. It may be a corruption of Sea-Saint Studios in NOLA, or a reference to a place in California.
- The correct venue may be the Sans Souci Lounge in Port Allen, LA

Set 1 is a performance attributed to June 13, 1975, which also circulates dated June 3. The Meters opened for the Rolling Stones TOTA '75 from 6/1/75 to 6/14/75
On this date, The Meters played Cahoots in Baton Rouge
Disc 2 is not the same show. It is a fascinating collection of live stuff - some is the Meters in SF(Boarding House?), some is w/ Professor Longhair (probably Meters 1973 or 1978-9 w/early Neville Bros.) some is Wild Tchoupitoulas and some is original Neville Brothers with Renard Poche and his bass playing brother.
