Notes

Videotaped for broadcast as part of an episode of the ITV documentary series Format V that aired the same night, with the concert excerpts shown almost live. A longer version of the video was later released on DVD, erroneously marketed as Haley's farewell tour (in fact, he continued touring for another year). Taped during the same tour that produced the concert segment of the documentary film Blue Suede Shoes.

During the concert, Haley is presented a record sales award from Sonet Records; this is included on the DVD. Also included on some DVD versions are two incidents where security (and Comets member Ray Parsons) tackle people who jump on stage wanting to meet Haley.

Confirmed songs performed (and included on various DVD releases in differing orders): Shake Rattle and Roll, Razzle-Dazzle, Rudy's Rock, Me and Bobby McGee, Rock-a-Beatin' Boogie, Rip it Up, The Promised Land (Mal Gray vocal), Saints Rock and Roll, See You Later Alligator, Rock Around the Clock, Rock the Joint (encore).
