 9. Drowning Witch
    Here is the true, complex story of this version according to [BP]:
      00:00 Bolzano, Campo Comunale (July 3, 1982)
      00:35 unknown 1984
      01:57 Seattle '84 (2nd show)
      02:28 Chicago '84 (1st show)
      02:40 Bolzano '82
      03:42 Chicago '84 (1st show)

14. Why Does It Hurt When I Pee?
    In the liner notes FZ tells us a story about the December 15
    Salt Lake City concert, so the SLC references in the first part
    of this version can't belong to the November 23 Chicago concert.
    [BP]: 00:00 Seattle, Paramount Theatre (December 17, 1984, 1st show)
          01:50 Chicago '84 (1st show)
          02:37 unknown 1884

15. Dickie's Such An Asshole
    Bootleg(s) in which this version has appeared:
    "Remington Electric Razor" (LP).
    DSAA is named "Tricky Dicky" on this bootleg and has the George
    Duke solo cut out.
    [BP]: front part is missing.

16. Hands With A Hammer
17. Zoot Allures
    Bootleg(s) in which these versions (until 2:24 in ZA) have appeared:
    "The Eyes Of Osaka" (2 CD)
    "Strange Habits" (2 CD).
    These two bootlegs have a different cover but are identical. 
    That band used the drum solo in HWAH as an intro to ZA, in
    this version, according to [BP], is shortened. Also, HWAH and the
    first part of ZA come from Osaka (Febraury 3, 1976 (source: affz,
    Pat Buzby)), not from Tokio. Lastly, according to [BP], part two
    of ZA (from 2:24) has been recorded on May 30, 1982.

      At 1:11, during Terry's drum solo, you can hear someone (maybe
      Roy Estrada) shouting, something like 'Kinishinai!'. It is a
      Japanese word which means 'don't worry about it', although Roy's
      intonation is far different from ordinary Japanese, no Japanese
      considered it as 'our language'. Interesting that the same word
      is also heard on the outro of 'Dancin' Fool' (the background
      vocal of FZ chating).

22. Cocaine Decisions
    The Palermo riot. Here is a translation for the Italian you
    can hear in this track, MB is Massimo Bassoli (see also notes
    & comments to "Uncle Meat"):

                  TO NOT THROW ANYTHING INTO THE STADIUM,
                  AND TO NOT ... HAVE TROUBLES WITH THE POLICE.
                  TRY TO BE CALM.

      2:56  FZ    seduti per favore
                  PLEASE SEAT DOWN
      
      3:01  GUY1  ma che e'?

                  THEY DIN'T WANT ALL PEOPLE IN. UNDERSTAND?
            
      
      NOTES
      
      (1)  I may be wrong but I suspect MB would say stage
           instead of stadium but he was a little bit confused.
           
      (2)  Left channel.
      
      (3)  Center, then left channel.
      
      (4)  "no" means no! But you can't translate it in this
           context. Maybe an attempt would be "RIGHT?".
           
      (5)  Something strange here happens: I think there is an
           edit or a strange mix of the spoken parts. What i notice
           is that the words before the note sign (5) do not match
           with the following.
       
      (6)  Here you can hear FZ saying "nig biz"
      -----------------------------------------------------------------

22. Cocaine Decisions
    [BP]: 00:00 unknown 1984
          00:0? into Chicago '84 (1st show)
          00:49 Palermo, Stadio Comunale (July 14, 1982).

23. Nig Biz
    [BP]: opening part is shortened.

24. King Kong
    Wrong 1971 venue on the booklet: the concert was performed at the
    Rainbow Theater.
    Some "Thing Fish"/"YCDTOSA series" poetry Conceptual
    Continuity/Statistical Density clues.  
  
    In "The Massive Improve'lence" (from "Thing Fish") at 2:09 Bob
    Harris sings:

       I WANT A NUN!
       I WANT A NUN!
       I WANT A BURRO
       IN THE FROSTY LIGHT!

    In this track at 13:50 Tommy Mars sings exactly the same verses
    in a Yellow Snow 79 ("YCDTOSA 1") live poetry fashion.
    Is there any reason for this?

    Moreover at 14:34, during the 82' section, *DENNY WALLEY* says
    "oh you want kinder garden!". Yes DW, in 1982!
    What really happen is that at 11:09 in "Don't Eat The Yellow Snow"
    ("YCDTOSA 1") DW says "oh you want kinder garden" and this little
    fragment was inserted in "King Kong" ("YCDTOSA 3") at 14:34.
    Lastly, according to [BP], these are the edits:
     00:00 Metz '82
     05:01 London '71 (Sax & guitar solo are shortened)
     12:13 London, Hammersmith Odeon (June 19, 1982, 2nd show)
          (Keyboard solo & 'Garden' rap are shortened)
     14:34 London '79 (see above)
     14:35 Metz '82
     18:02 unknown, maybe Dijon 1982
     23:30 unknown 1982.
