Video

A video of the final concert was released on VHS alongside the double album in 1996. The video contained 2 songs that were not included on the double album - "Nothing To Fear (But Fear Itself)" and "Just Another Day" - as well as the "Tender Lumplings" intro, which was also absent from the album (though it did not get its own track, it was present after "I Am the Walrus"). The video also included a half-hour retrospective documentary and music videos for "Little Girls" and "Insanity".

The 1999 Oingo Boingo compilation album Anthology contained the "Tender Lumplings" intro - as well as extra dialogue on "We Close Our Eyes", "Whole Day Off", and "Insects" - that was included on the video release, but not on the double album.

The concert video was re-released on DVD on September 18, 2001, as a two-disc set. All the bonus features from the VHS release were included on the 2nd disk, although the music videos for "Little Girls" and "Insanity" were included as hidden easter eggs on the DVD. Both disks also include animated menus and a hidden discography. The VHS and DVD are now both out of print and fetch high prices on second-hand websites.
