After originally planning to film at San Francisco's Kabuki Theatre on December 10 and 11, they moved the filming location to Hollywood's Pantages Theatre instead. Following a rehearsal at the theatre with no audience on December 12, this was the first night of filming, although it has been reported that none of the shots from this night were used in the film. This is the first concert of the tour to exclude The Book I Read and Love → Building on Fire from the setlist, replaced by Found a Job which they had last performed in 1979 during the Fear of Music Tour.
