The album was released in 2004, consisting of a two-disc CD and DVD compilation. The CD includes recordings of live performances recorded during 2003 and 2004, and the DVD includes footage from Shakira's Tour of the Mongoose live performance in Rotterdam, Netherlands on 22 April 2003. The album was certified gold by the RIAA in May 2004. It was number one on the US Top Music Videos chart on 17 April 2004.
Background and release
In 2002, Shakira embarked on Tour of the Mongoose to promote her fifth studio album Laundry Service (2001). The tour date in Rotterdam on 22 April 2003 was recorded, and it was released on 30 March 2004 under the title Live & off the Record. Featured on the DVD are 15 out of the 19 tracks recorded with only 10 on the CD; out of the other four tracks recorded "Fool" and "Dónde Están los Ladrones?" are featured on the Target edition of Shakira's sixth studio album Fijación Oral, Vol. 1 (2005), while the recordings of "Dude (Looks Like a Lady)" and "Un Poco de Amor" remain unreleased. The DVD also features behind-the-scenes recordings from the tour.
"Poem to a Horse (Live)" and "Whenever, Wherever (Live)" were released as promotional singles off the live album.
Reception
Elena Basanta from Cadena 100 hailed the live album as "one of Shakira's most versatile albums", pointing out her versatility performing a wide variety of musical genres, as well as praising her vocals and energy.
