Details

Foolproof is subtitled The 1975 tour of the United States, but only four of the tracks were recorded in the USA, during Roxy's first visit there with the Siren tour (they returned in 1976 minus the backing singers). The other tracks are from the same Newcastle 1974 concert as used on Absinthe Makes The Heart Grow Fondle and of course, Viva!
