Notes:​

• The audio recording is very short, missing most of the songs from the performed setlist.
• The video source is footage was shot by John Witmer.
• As with any 8mm audience footage from this era, full songs and concerts were not able to be captured due to the short length of the film reels.
• However unlike the most commonly used 8mm film of the era, this rarer film stock and camera were actually able to concurrently record audio, so no syncing separate audio was required here.
• Scans of this film have been in circulation for a long time, however a new scan of the master reel is in progress as of September 2024.
