1
  Mike & Bruce attended.
2
  Brian only played the first night of this set of gigs promoting L. A. (Light Album).
  These were the only shows where the disco version of "Here Comes The Night"
  was performed.
3
  Lindsey Buckingham and Christine McVie joined the band for the encores.
4
  Christine joined the band for three of the encore songs.
5
  Towards the end of this show, Dennis & Mike had an onstage fist fight, the upshot of
  which was that Dennis was 'suspended' from the band until the 1980 European
  summer tour (with a very few exceptions - see below). Comedian Glen Super was
  better known as 'Mr. Bullhorn' and opened for The Beach Boys on many occaisions.
6
  Brian guested on an unspecified number of these shows: Bruce & Dean Torrence
  joined for the final show.
7
Portions of one of these shows were filmed-3 songs were broadcast on Japanese TV
on August 25 as part of fund-raiser “Love Saves the Earth.”
8
  Not so much cancelled as abandoned - the roof of the venue collapsed as Heart
  were performing..
9
  Dennis played part of this show, the last time he played with the band until the 1980
  UK tour, with the exception of three November dates (see below).
10
  Randy Bachman's home studio - Carl was the only BB involved in these sessions.
11
  Brian guested on one show of Jan & Dean's Disneyland residency from September
  2nd to 8th
12
  The Floyd approached The Beach Boys to do the bvs on this track, and they agreed.
  The session was booked for noon to 5 pm, but was cancelled the morning it was due
  to take place: according to Roger Waters, "they decided to go off and do their own
  album". The bvs were eventually recorded nearly two weeks later by Bruce
  Johnston, Joe Chemay & Toni Tennille.
13
  One of the only two KTSA sessions to feature Dennis: he drummed on "Johnny B.
  Goode".
14
  Dennis was back in the band for this mini-tour, his last live shows until the summer
  1980 European dates.
15
  The other KTSA session where Dennis is listed in the AFM contract... but he didn't
  actually play. He turned up (with Christine McVie) but was "asked to leave". Brian is
  also listed on the AFM sheet, but reportedly spent the session riding around outside
  in a golf cart.
