The April 12 concert recording was also released on September 20, 2024, as part of the eight-show, 19-CD box set Friend of the Devils: April 1978.

In Glide Magazine, Doug Collette wrote, "Fortunately, the recording by Betty Cantor-Jackson is the usual definition of sonic clarity up and down the dynamic range (and all across the stereo spectrum as mastered by Jeffrey Norman). At the heart of the audio's impact, of course, is the playing of the band at large, and, with a day off from touring to follow immediately, the group often plays with unusual abandon..."^[5]
