Saturday 22 April 1978
Commodore Ballroom, Vancouver, BC

Details

This show was broadcast live on CKLG-FM. Recordings are sometimes incorrectly labelled as May 22 (possibly because it was re-broadcast again that day).

The band now begin the show with a tape of a working version of Charmonium.

Kim's joke in Toronto Tontos is now aimed at Anita Bryant.

On this tour the first verse of Waterline is actually a playback of the album version (this is also the case in Hamilton a couple weeks later). Upon McCracken's entry the song continues as normal.

Coming Off The Moon now has a coda, much of which seems to be lifted from Frank Zappa's later live arrangement of the Yellow Snow Suite. The song would be performed this way until the band's breakup in 1981 (here's an example of Max doing it in 1980)
