Notes

Produced by Ernst Mikael Jørgensen and Roger Semon / Mastered by Jean-Marc Juilland & Jan Eliasson.

The last part of the introductions and 'School Day' by the Joe Guercio orchestra, after 'Love Letters', were not recorded by the sound engineer, presumably because the tape was being turned over while recording the show on September 5 1976.

The band go into an instrumental of 'Jingle Bells' after 'Blue Christmas' (CD1, track 19), although it isn't listed on the cover.

Selections from the concert on September 5 1976 were chosen to be edited together with songs from other 1976 shows, and presented as a complete concert, for possible inclusion on the box-set A Golden Celebration, although the edited concert was never released.

No tape exists of the edited show, only paper work showing song titles and matrix numbers, as follows:
