    The performance at the Summit in Houston in October 1984 was filmed for a planned home video release in 1985 which fell through; however, the promotional video for "Money Changes Everything" was taken from this footage. The show was also broadcast locally over the radio that evening. The show at The Palace in Hollywood in February 1984 was filmed and, along with performances by Madness and Ultravox, aired as a show called Rock of the 80sonShowtime. The New Year's Eve 1983 performance at the Ritz aired on MTV that evening as a New Year's Eve special.
