Audience tapes (four sources) and partial DVD. Four recording sources are known to exist, the first is available on CD 'El Boss En Barcelona' (RM) and from tape (mjk5510), this version is missing the end of both "Because The Night" and "Point Blank", and has a splice in "Rosalita (Come Out Tonight)". A second source is available from the master cassettes (Zappa) with last two songs missing and a splice in "Rosalita (Come Out Tonight)". A third source is in limited circulation and is very distant sounding (MSA). A very good fourth source of just the second set and encores is also in limited circulation.
Show is partially filmed from the audience and ten tracks (all cut in some fashion) circulate on a compilation DVD. The ten songs filmed are "Who'll Stop The Rain", "Two Hearts", "The Promised Land", "The River", "Badlands", "Thunder Road", "Cadillac Ranch", "Sherry Darling", "Hungry Heart" and "You Can Look (But You Better Not Touch)". Clips of this footage can be seen over the closing credits of Thom Zimny's documentary The Ties That Bind. Silent Super 8mm footage of three songs with dubbed audio shot from the floor in front of the stage also exists. The three songs (all brief partial clips) are "Prove It All Night", "Out In The Street", and "The Ties That Bind".
