1	Part of this basic track evolved into a section of "10,000 Years", which in turn mutated into "Friday Night".
2	Widely misspelled as "Spring Bass Song", this was an early take at "Rainbows".
3	Mike made a guest appearence and sang California Girls- he was booed by the political crowd who were there to see Bob Dylan and others.
4	The backing vocalists were Dusty Springfield, Danny Hutton, Gerry Beckley, Cat Stevens, Bruce & Brian. This session was unproductive: the bvs on the released version are by Daryl Dragon, Toni Tennille, Billy Hinsche, Bruce & Carl.
5	Elton John & Paul Simon joined the band for the encore. This show was broadcast live on FM radio.
6	Featuring Roy Wood, Nick Pentelow & Mike Burney of Wizzard on drums and saxes respectively.
7	Nothing whatsoever to do with the *Smile* song: this is a Dennis composition also known as "Barnyard Blues".
8	Aired December 31st (of course...): the band performed "Good Vibrations" & "Surfer Girl" alone, "Darlin'" with the Chicago horn section and Alan, Carl & Mike provided (lip-synced) bvs for Chicago's "Wishing You Were Here". Dennis was not present. The seeds of the Beachago tour were sown...
9	Ricky Fataar's last show with the band.
