The concert was filmed at Yankee Stadium in the Bronx, New York on June 21, 1969. It was recorded and subsequently released as a live album titled Live at Yankee Stadium on T-Neck Records in October 1969. Ike & Tina Turner who are featured in the film are not included on the live album because they did not participate in the original concert. Their segment was filmed separately in 1970 and added to the film.
