    Movie Quotes: [repeated line]
    Tim Thompson: I love all the ghosts!
    Crazy Credits:: We know about 1 Crazy Credits. One of them reads:
    To the officials of His Majesty's government in British East Africa, the producers wish to express their appreciation for the cooperation that made possible the filming of the safari sequences in Kenya, Tanganyka and Uganda.
    Goofs: We know about 1 goofs. Here comes one of them:
    Continuity: In between 'Blowin' in the Wind' and 'Just Like a Woman', Bob Dylan attaches his capo to the second fret of his guitar. George Harrison then leans over to speak to Leon Russell, but immediately in the next shot, Dylan's guitar is capoed on the fourth fret and George is back in his regular position. (This is most likely due to the deletion of another Dylan song, 'Mr. Tambourine Man', which was played with a capo on the 2nd fret and is included on the film's soundtrack album.)
    Trivia: There are 5 entries in the trivia list - like these:
    • At this concert Eric Clapton plays a Gibson Byrdland guitar designed by Nashville guitarists Hank Garland and Billy Byrd.
    • George Harrison later explained his reasons for turning 'Ravi Shankar (I)' 's original plan for a small concert into an all-star show: "The Beatles had been trained to the viewpoint that if you're going to do something, do it big, and why not make a million dollars?"
    • The show marked one of Bob Dylan's first concert appearances since the mid-1960s, when he was injured in a motorcycle accident. He later toured extensively. Capitol Records made a special deal with Columbia Records (Dylan's label) to include Dylan's portion of the show in the soundtrack album: while the LP (and later CD) version was issued on Apple Records (the Beatles's label), Columbia Records issued the cassette (and 8-track tape) version.
