This second show was announced in late August. Just days before the show there were still around 4,000 tickets unsold to this show. Weather and an assumption that both shows were sold out were excuses offered in the press.
This show was heavily edited and condensed, and combined with interview and backstage footage, to become the "Inner Sanctum" documentary broadcast in early 1981. This show was scheduled for release as an unofficial DVD, as "Live at the Sydney Showground," in June 2003, featuring the concert, backstage and TV footage. It was ultimately pulled from distribution. The Showground concert was officially released on "KISSology, Volume 2" after circulating in collector's circles for decades (though it is missing Gene's bass solo and the start of "God of Thunder"). In addition to the concert itself, a rare 16mm film reel of outtakes from the show was discovered decades later and released online.
