Notes

Soundboard recording, great quality!
A total of 10 regular copies were made.
A special one-off pressing was issued in 2019. Sides A-B are on translucent green, Sides C-D are on translucent red, and Sides E-F are on clear vinyl. Sides E-F were planned for blue translucent vinyl, but a problem with the blank prevented that from happening.
Comprised of 6 sides over 3 LPs in 2 volumes. Both volumes are clear vinyl. The show spans all of Volume 1 (sides A-D) and the first side of Volume 2 (sides E-F).
The backside of Volume 2 (Side F) is an interview with Edward Van Halen from 1979.
Approximate running times:
Side A 18:30
Side B 20:15
Side C 14:15
Side D 18:45
Side E 20:30
Side F 14:45
At the end of the show, "Atomic Punk" is only about 1 minute long.
Artwork for both volumes are similar. Vol. 2 seems to be a photo negative of Vol. 1 for many of the elements.
The front covers include the title, show location, show date, a Mad Hatter logo, the VH logo, and a shot of Dave screaming into a microphone.
The back covers include the title, show location, show date, small thumbnail photos, the set list, and a bootleg ticket stub for the show.
The LP labels are similar to the front artwork, with a VH logo, the pic of Dave, the show title, and the set list.
Released in July 2017.
