Surfaced:
• Audio #1. 43:21. Most of the banter has been edited out (including before Plump).
• Audio #2. 32:20. Audience recording. Missing the banter before Plump, but most of the banter in the rest of the show is included. There are some sound fluctuations. Missing Beautiful Son, Miss World, Softer Softest, and the reprise of Never Go Away.
• Audio #3. FM Radio Broadcast – Beautiful Son, Miss World, Gutless, Softer Softest, Credit in the Straight World, and Doll Parts. Appears on the bootleg Kiss Away the Darkest Day.
• PRIV-shot Video. 47:35. Mostly complete – missing Courtney throwing her guitar at the end. Audience shot. During Softer Softest, a man stands behind Courtney with a camcorder – this footage hasn’t circulated.
• PRO-shot Video. Clips aired on MTV, including a short clip of Never Go Away.
