"Portia" is incomplete (5:54) on Slawka.

At least on TOBW-3012 "The Senate - Me & U" is listed as "Hannibal," and "Code MD" and "Wrinkle" are listed as as "Jean Pierre." TOBW-3012 has a version of "New Blues" taken from an unknown concert.

On the Pioneer DVD, "Funk Suite" is listed as "Heavy Metal Prelude." "New Blues" is just before "Portia" on the DVD. All titles are complete. In addition to the concert, the DVD includes the interview "The Art of Miles Davis" (10:00), a biographical timeline, and liner notes by Adam Holzman.

On DeLuxe DEL 800111 (3-CD) the titles are not in the order they were performed. "Funk Suite" is listed as "Heavy Metal Prelude," "The Senate" as "Hannibal," "Me & U" as "Code MD," and "Wrinkle" as Jean Pierre."

On King Jazz 3747 the date is incorrectly listed as November 13, 1988.
