The album was recorded at the House of Blues in Atlantic City, NJ on December 30th and 31st of 2006, coming at the end of the band's tour - and just 15 days after Anastasio's much-publicized arrest in New York. With his trial looming, the future was uncertain - and he knew these shows were likely to be the last he would play for a long time.

The raw, emotional energy permeated the set as the composer/vocalist/guitarist led The Undectet - comprised of Tony Hall (bass, vocals), Ray Paczkowski (keyboards), Jeff Sipe (drums), Christina Durfee (vocals, synthesizer), Jennifer Hartswick (vocals, trumpet), Peter Apfelbaum (saxophone, flute), Russell Remington (saxophone, flute), Jeff Cressman (trombone), Dave Grippo (saxophone) and Cyro Baptista (percussion) - through electrifying big band arrangements of his classic songs, replete with big horns and dazzling Brazilian percussive stylings.

The shows came at a turning point in Anastasio's life. The energy is palpable, and the songs explosive. The events of the previous weeks give the music an added depth, noticeable in the bluesy guitar of "Plasma," or as the New Year's countdown approaches during "Mr. Completely." The night proved to be one of transcendence, apparent in the crowd's intense reaction and the cohesive sound of the band onstage. This alchemy imbues "Drifting" with fresh meaning - "I've been drifting/for years at sea/But now, you've come along/to rescue me" The shows arguably contained some of the best guitar playing of Trey's career.
