The final songs of the concert, "Bye Bye Blackbird" and "The Theme", were released only on the box set Seven Steps: The Complete Columbia Recordings of Miles Davis 1963–1964. On the original LP, some of the tenor sax and piano solos were edited, although it still offered nearly an hour of music.[2]
