Video
A video of the final concert was released on VHS alongside the double album in 1996. The video release featured additional performances that were not included on the double album. A Tender Lumplings video introduction introduces the show; Nothing to Fear (But Fear Itself) is played between I Am the Walrus and Piggies; and Just Another Day is played between Change and Stay. It should also be noted that on the video release, Ain't This the Life is positioned between On the Outside and Wild Sex (In the Working Class); also, the performance of Whole Day Off from the CD does not appear on the video release. A half-hour retrospective documentary and music videos for Little Girls and Insanity were included in the tape set.
The compilation album Anthology (1999) contained the Tender Lumplings intro from the video release, as well as extra dialogue on Insects, We Close Our Eyes and Whole Day Off that was cut from the double album.
The concert video was re-released on DVD on September 18, 2001, as a two-disc set. All the bonus features from the VHS release were included on the 2nd disc, although the two music videos were hidden easter eggs on the DVD. Both discs also included animated menus and a hidden discography slideshow. The VHS and DVD are now both out of print and fetch high prices on second-hand websites.

Famous quotes containing the word video:
“I recently learned something quite interesting about video games. Many young people have developed incredible hand, eye, and brain coordination in playing these games. The air force believes these kids will be our outstanding pilots should they fly our jets.”
—Ronald Reagan (b. 1911)
“These people figured video was the Lord’s preferred means of communicating, the screen itself a kind of perpetually burning bush. “He’s in the de-tails,” Sublett had said once. “You gotta watch for Him close.””
—William Gibson (b. 1948)
“It is among the ranks of school-age children, those six- to twelve-year-olds who once avidly filled their free moments with childhood play, that the greatest change is evident. In the place of traditional, sometimes ancient childhood games that were still popular a generation ago, in the place of fantasy and make- believe play . . . today’s children have substituted television viewing and, most recently, video games.”
—Marie Winn (20th century)
