The tunes from the first concert are wrongly indexed on JMY:
- Directions (7:54)
- Bitches Brew (14:08)
- Paraphernalia (13:18)
- Riot (2:06)
- Sanctuary (6:10)
- Miles Runs the Voodoo Down (19:06)
- The Theme (0:53)
Most audio tapes of the second concert contain a splice between "Bitches Brew" and
"Agitation" and another at 1:07 of "Masqualero." The material between the splices
is sonically inferior and may be from an audience recording. On these tapes "It's
About That Time" is cut off at about 15:20.
The master tapes for these performances are on 1/2" BASF tape. Both concerts were
filmed by in color by ORTF and the tapes are in the RTF/INA archive.
