Although Miles Davis's health was quite weak at the time of this two-CD set (recorded the same day as the album Agharta), he has a few strong trumpet solos on these two very lengthy pieces ("Zimbabwe" and "Gondwana"). Just after these concerts, Miles would go into an almost six year hiatus from music.

Recorded the same day as Pangaea, this 2-CD set features Davis just prior to his six-year retirement. Miles' health at this point was fragile, but he shines on the song "Interlude." The music here is dense, rockish, bold, but never boring (with the guitars of Pete Cosey and Reggie Lucas), and is a profound snapshot of where Miles was in 1975.
