[edit] Trivia
- The original video seems to be slightly sped up which may suggest why there was a lengthy delay (i.e. almost 3 years!) between the recording date and the release date. It would seem that the released material was judiciously 'compressed' to meet a predetermined time limit of 90 minutes - perhaps an LP/cassette release was considered. It has been reported that this problem has been addressed on the DVD release (96 minutes) of this show.
- Under Pressure was first performed live here before the recording of the Hot Space album.
