Begin the steady stream of live albums from here until the end of time. Actually, that's not fair. After this one, there wasn't another for many years. This one is where these entries start to get slightly easier. Compared to the preceding albums, this one is a cake walk, particularly from the vinyl standpoint. Let's see what we've got.

When this one first came out, there were three versions of the double LP: U.S., Europe, and Japan. All three were on black vinyl. The Japanese pressing ame with a purple obi strip. None of them are hard to find. The U.S. one is a bit more expensive than the European one, but the Japanese one is more expensive than both of those.

In 2003, there was European reissue on 180g black vinyl. Not terribly expensive. And that was it until 2016! There were U.S. and European 180g reissues in 2016, both on black vinyl. Both versions are quite common and cheap. There were a couple of bootleg versions released as well - one on orange vinyl, one on black vinyl, and a picture disc. Avoid the fakes.
