The first (early) show was also professionally audio recorded by Springsteen's team; however, prior to the official live download, only "Thunder Road" had ever surfaced - officially issued by CBS on the 1986 Bruce Springsteen & The E Street Band Live/1975-85 boxed set, and in 2005 on the PBS Exclusive EP. It has long been rumored that director Arnold Levine (who had previously filmed Bruce's May 1, 1973 Los Angeles concert) filmed one or both of these October 18 shows, although none of this alleged Roxy footage has ever surfaced. Interestingly semi-pro filmmaker (and Springsteen friend) Barry Rebo also confirmed in a 2005 interview that he filmed Springsteen during this Roxy residency, although Rebo gave no specific details.
Official concert recording available for purchase in multiple formats, including CD and high definition audio, from Springsteen's official live download site at nugs.net/bruce (previously live.brucespringsteen.net). A newly mixed transformative 360 Reality Audio version is streaming exclusively on nugs.net.

An audience recording of the early show circulates on CDR (Unbooted) and also on 'Goin' Back To 1975 - The Lost Show' (Fanatic), which is a transfer from the master cassettes. An upgraded, pitch-adjusted version of both shows transferred from CB's master tapes titled 'Hit Me With A Double Shot' (JEMS) was released in 2016 (featuring the complete late show).
