During the Gish-aversary event on May 29, 2021, celebrating the 30th anniversary of Gish, Billy Corgan and Jimmy Chamberlin announced the February 24, 1992 show as the initial release in the band's series of limited edition vinyl archival releases, called Live at Kawasaki 2.24.92. It shipped in March 2022. "Godzilla" was cut from the release, likely for licensing issues.

Bury Me
Iha: Domo. ...
BC: Arigato, man. [unintelligible; possibly “Lazy” or “I can see you”]. Yeah, support your Shonen Knife. (crowd cheers)
Iha: Shonen Knife.
BC: This is Syd Barrett. This is Abe Vigoda. And that’s John Lennon.
Iha: Sock-ana-des, Fish. Fish.
Snail

BC immediately before starting Siva: Blast off.
