"Tutu" was broadcast in an incomplete form only (0:15). The tunes were announced as "New Blues," "Perfect Way," "Human Nature," and "Heavy Metal."

The short version of "Tutu" is heard three times during the broadcast as an advertisement for the "Live under the Sky" concert series. I don't know whether the short version of "Tutu" is from this concert.

The Davis group traveled directly from Paris to Tokyo at the end of July to begin a short tour of Japan:
