Note

Due to a power surge in the theater's electrical system during the taping of this show, there is brief distortion of the image and an audio drop-out. The problem occurs in the first disc at approximately 55:09, and is resolved by 55:20.
A videorecording of an earlier staging of this revised Flower drum song, taped in Dec. 2001 at the Mark Taper Forum, Los Angeles, is available on NCOV 2556.
