It was a live album, played in what was more a rock venue. Don't recall the title.
Before one piece, he discussed it with the audience, giving the history, and some musical details.
Just before he started, he said "So, while you're sitting back hopefully enjoying it, I'll be busy as hell!"
I found that charming.
BTW: That diminished chord that builds off the signature figure really makes this piece. I taught myself this on my dad's Hammond organ just to do it.
