Trivia: There is the belief amongst some avid fans that the original video was slightly sped up. Hence this 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.
