Duration: 1:59:50

Known flaws:
- The opening seconds of "Strange" and "Alison" are missing due to apparent tape flips.
- Tape flip or pause at 0:35 of "Couldn't Call It Unexpected No. 4" — probably several seconds of music missing.
- Minor technical glitch at 2:22 of "The Other Side Of Summer".
- A break in the recording coincides with a pause in the song at 5:51 of "Alison" — possibly some music missing.
- Possibly a beat missing at 0:32 of "Pump It Up".
- Tape flip or pause at 2:56 of "Pump It Up" — probably several seconds of music missing.
- The tape cuts off abruptly as "Pump It Up" is ending — at least a few seconds of music missing.

Song snippets:
- "I Hope You're Happy Now" includes a bit of "Paperback Writer" (John Lennon & Paul McCartney).
- "God's Comic" includes bits of "I'm A Believer" (Neil Diamond) and "Bye Bye Blackbird" (Ray Henderson & Mort Dixon).

The Rude 5:
- Larry Knechtel - keyboards, electric guitar
- Jerry Scheff - bass
- Pete Thomas - drums

Rude 5 lead guitarist Marc Ribot was absent from the Australia/New Zealand leg of the 1991 tour, so the band has a different sound compared to earlier legs of the tour. Elvis credits Larry Knechtel with electric guitar when introducing the band, but the majority of the guitar seems to be Elvis' work.
