Outstanding video footage of "The River" is included in the 1980 theatrical movie release No Nukes (later available on home video) and also the official Video Anthology DVD. The performance of "The River" (or from the next day) was included on a rare, promotion-only "freebie" VHS tape given away to customers purchasing the Tracks box set in select Swedish record stores in November 1998. An edited audio version of the Nugs recording of "The River" is released on the 2019 Blinded By The Light soundtrack album. Audio recordings of "Stay" (with Jackson Browne and Rosemary Butler) and an edited "Devil With The Blue Dress Medley" (a.k.a. "Detroit Medley") were officially released on Elektra/Asylum’s three-LP concert album No Nukes later that year (which was eventually officially issued on a two-CD set in 1997). The 2021 box set The Legendary 1979 No Nukes Concerts, containing both audio and video, includes "Thunder Road", "Jungleland", "Rosalita (Come Out Tonight)", "Born To Run", "Detroit Medley", and "Rave On" from this show.

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).
