Significant portions of Davis' Live-Evil were edited and compiled from the music that appears on discs 5 and 6. The sections labelled "Improvisation" into "Imamorata" are most commonly known as "Funky Tonk", but were released on Live-Evil as "Imamorata and Narration by Conrad Roberts".
Live-Evil and this collection are the only official recordings of John McLaughlin's live performances with Miles Davis.[5]
