- the intro jam is the tune usually played before the Exodus Tour concerts in 1977.
- the AUD source is quite complete, but misses a few seconds during "No More Trouble", "Jammin'" and "Exodus".
- the sound gets worse between "Crazy Baldhead" and "No More Trouble".
- the sound speeds up during "Could You Be Loved?".
