The concert had been broadcast live by BBC Radio, and that recording had had many bootleg releases. Through a mobilization on the group's website, fans requested the release of the footage of the concert, and the release of the audio of the show in a professional manner. Among other requests from fans on site were the order of the release of the videos of the show at the Hammersmith Odeon in 1980 and Donington in 1983.
