A DVD for the Friday 11 July 1975 concert at the Forum was released on 19 November 2014 titled From the Vault: L.A Forum (Live in 1975). The official release erroneously states that the DVD recording is from the Saturday 12 July 1975 show.[3]
The set list was the same for both shows, except for the placement of the band introductions.[citation needed]
