    Santana's set was filmed using multiple cameras although as far as we know it has never been released commercially or circulated as a boot.



The Beach Boys perform a creditable set that stretches from their early days -"Be True to Your School"- through its classic period with "Heroes and Villains," "God Only Knows," and "Good Vibrations"

Notable in their absence are songs such as "Trader", " Sail On Sailor " Marcella" in fact any material from their later albums like "Holland" , which indicated that the band had already begun the long slippery slope it took to becoming a nostalgia act with no new material of worth from the mid 70s onwards .
