  • A radio edit appears on the bootlegs "Splitting the Atom" "Shoot!" "100% Sonic Youth" & "100% Live".
  • The complete concert was released by the band in digital format on their bandcamp page in 2020. It includes the missing tracks "Shoot" "I Love Her All The Time" "JC" and "Expressway".
  • Pavement's opening set was included on their 2002 reissue of "Slanted & Enchanted".
  • Supposedly the band were wearing Santa hats, and during their set members of the opening acts came out and sprayed them with silly string (possibly during the 'Sugar Kane' midsection).
