Original pressings of the album bore the headline "In front of an audience over 18,000 on September 12, 1969 in Los Angeles, Three Dog Night was Captured Live at the Forum."
Future pressings would remove the 12 September date, however, and lead singer Chuck Negron's autobiography Three Dog Nightmare would subsequently list the concert's performance date as 14 July 1969.

Originally released in 1969, CAPTURED LIVE AT THE FORUM is from the early stages of Three Dog Night's career. While it's unusual to release a live album so soon after a group's debut, it was a wise decision.

As good as Three Dog Night's singles were - and they were some of the finest AM radio staples of the era - they only hint at how powerful the group were live. While leader Danny Hutton was a protege of Brian Wilson, lead singer Chuck Negron came from an R&B tradition, and that collision of pristine pop and gutbucket soul was the tension which drove the group.

On CAPTURED LIVE AT THE FORUM, Negron is clearly in charge, with a rocking cover of the Band's "Chest Fever," and a version of the chestnut "Try a Little Tenderness" styled after Otis Redding's definitive reading, nearly outshining the often-excellent renditions of Three Dog Night hits like Harry Nilsson's "One" and Laura Nyro's "Eli's Coming”.
