  • The line-up for this performance consisted of Thurston on guitar & vocals, Kim on bass/vocals, Ann DeMarinis on keyboards/vocals, and Richard Edson on drums. A segment of the band's set appeared, untitled, on the "Noisefest '81" compilation.
  • The songs performed bear some resemblance to later SY tracks in some elements (the first piece has Burning Spear's drumbeat, Thurston's vocals on one song are reminiscent of I Don't Want to Push It...), but are entirely unique. They don't sound completely improvised, either.
