Hey, 'Workers!
 
I've got another Oils minutia question that I'm hoping to have answered...
 
What exactly are the "Truck Mixes" that are available on the Saturday Night at the Capitol portion of the Best of Both Worlds DVD?  Were they just un-televised recordings of the live performance at the show, or are they remixed somehow?  For example, the "truck mix" of Run By Night is under 3 minutes long, and omits the second verse of the song when compared to the 1978 album version.  Is that actually how it was played on the night of Nov 27, 1982, or was it edited after the fact?  Does anyone have the bootleg of the full show (not just the broadcast portion) so they can compare?  Likewise, the broadcast version of Powderworks from that gig is significantly shortened from the album version; is that how it was played live that night, or was it edited for TV?  Because I thought the live version of Powderworks found on Scream In Blue came from that gig, but it's definitely the full-length song.
 
If anyone can clear up these mysteries, I'd greatly appreciate it!
 
Thanks,
Mike
