1
   That the album was mixed at the Capitol studios in Hollywood would seem to lay to
  rest the long-held belief that it was not sanctioned by the band and was in essence
  an 'official' bootleg concocted covertly by EMI in the UK.
2
   For this mini-tour of the Pacific northwest, Brian replaced Mike, who was
  hospitalised following an ill-advised fast.
3
   Although the title for this Brian-produced project has been stated as Cows In The
  Pasture, Fred has denied it. The tracks marked with * had vocals recorded for them.
4
   Cancelled due to poor ticket sales
5
   This week-long engagement was extended due to popular demand.
6
   This was actually the showcase for The Flame (not at The Whiskey as has long
  been assumed), but after they'd finished, Brian, Carl, Marilyn,  Ricci Martin,  Billy
  Hinsche and Diane Rovell joined them onstage for a "guest jam".
7
   The only musician at this session was Moog player Bernie Krause. Originally this
  was thought to be a session for "Cool, Cool Water", but as the song was mixed
  nearly two weeks earlier, that's highly unlikely.
8
   Brian, Bruce & Mike were interviewed by DJ Jack Rieley.
9
   Dennis was not present as he was filming Two Lane Blacktop.
10
   Brian played the first night and the first show of the second night.
11
   Benefit for Bakersfield and Foothill high schools
12
   Although The Flame were advertised as the support at both Fiesta Night Club
  residencies, they never left London: a contemporary Melody Maker advert shows
  they played the following clubs on these dates: Nov. 28th, Nov. 30th-Dec. 4th at
  Revolution... Nov. 29th at Blaises and Dec. 5th at The Marquee.
13
   The legendary show where the band, scheduled to play at 12.30am, finally took the
  stage at four, their flight from the UK having been badly affected by fog.
