Well, it certainly wasn't 42 minutes, you're right about that.

Actually the Indianapolis show lasted longer than the previous shows during that last tour.

The Indy show lasted for about 75 minutes.

Here's the tracklisting:

Opening riff
See see rider
I got a woman / Amen
Love me
Fairytale
You gave me a mountain
Jailhouse rock
O sole mio/It's now or never
Little sister
Teddy bear / Don't be cruel
Release me
I can't stop loving you
Bridge over troubled water
Introductions to band
Early morning rain
What'd I say
Johnny B Goode
Drum solo Larrie Londen
Fender bass solo Jerry Scheff
Piano solo
I really don't want to know
Keyboard solo Bobby Ogdin
Joe Guercio orchestra solo
Hurt
Hound dog
Intro's and many thanks
Can't help falling in love

Hope this helps,

Sonny

Well, the video may well be just 42 minutes long. I actually haven't seen that much footage that's strictly from Indy, but there are at least a couple versions of this Indy concert floating around which have been expanded by including more '77 footage (Chicago and other venues) which matches up reasonably well--but you won't think so if you're not used to seeing much amateur footage--and makes for an overall nice concert experience, especially with the awesome stereo sound which others have said and I agree is better than on the highly impressive Adios, The Final Performance audience recording CD.

I could be wrong, but I want to say that the actual Indy footage is considerably less than 42 minutes. And also I believe that there are versions out there which are closer to one hour with the additional footage to stretch the video out. I'm not certain of that though. If he does not chime in, you might send a PM to spinout-designs.
