Notes: Suppers Ready wasn’t played for the first four shows we believe this was due to the fact they were warm up shows.

Notes: Beat Instrumental May 1976 edition page 80, in a feature about Maurice Placquet its revealed that Genesis had used their rehearsal studios, located in the Pinewood studios complex, Pinewood, Buckinghamshire, England.

Further Notes: It / Watcher Of The Skies taken from the show at The New Bingley Hall in Staffordshire, was released as the fourth side of the Live album Three Sides Live in June of 1982.
