Wes, this footage hasn't been released, I've got a copy on it's way ;)

Details of footage...

Two (2) separate cuts of the concert footage, as there is different audio sources -- one cut is with an audio mix (Ambient + Monitor Mix), the other cut is just Monitor Out Mix. The reason there is two cuts is because there was a problem with the wireless devise that was hooked up to the Monitor Out, which lead to a lot of break-up and hiss coming from the wireless unit..... But, when the wireless unit kicked in, the audio really sounds good. (Just a little info. -- This DVD was created when I made a dub from the Beta-SP camera tapes to S-VHS deck. From there, I dubbed to my DVD recorder.... and the files on YouTube are .mp4 -- pretty cool!). Now, here's the set list:
1. Naturally Wired
2. 5150
3. Panama
4. Cabo Wabo
5. Finish What You Started
6. Summer Nights
7. Wild Thing (Jam w/ Delp & Lukather)
8. Rock n' Roll
9. Eye On L.A. Edited Show Segment of Cabo Wabo
10. Jacob Armen Drum Solo (I added this on the DVD for my own enjoyment)
Note: There is a lot of "B-Roll" footage on the Cabo shoot, as the camera operator cut away to get other video for editing purposes. I was bummed that some of the songs were cut short, but at least there is some good video.
