Live in Concert provides a true retrospective of Clannad's career. It features new versions of material from across the catalogue as far back as their 1973 debut album. Songs originally released in their simplest acoustic form are now performed here with brand new full band arrangements. In A Lifetime features a duet with former Riverdance singer Brian Kennedy. An 11 minute medley of music from the Robin of Sherwood TV series features previously unreleased music. The album was compiled from concerts recorded during their 1996 European tour.

The album was released, on October 17th 2010, as a free CD with the Irish Mail On Sunday newspaper, under the title "The Collection". The CD omitted "Dance & Téidhir Abhaile Riú" and edited the "Robin of Sherwood Medley" from 11:22 to 4:00.
