Notes #1:
As far as I know, there are only 5 different recordings from the seven October 1979 Apollo Theatre shows that are currently available:
Audio 1 (October 25th, 1979): only known live performance of So Much Trouble In The World / previously circulated as October 25th, 1979 3rd show
Audio 2 (October 28th, 1979): there is an partial SBD with this date but there is no information on if any of the songs are from the early show or late show; John "dubwise" Dubois once told me it was an compilation of songs made by BMW soundman Dennis Thompson.
Audio 3 (SBD fragment of Positive Vibration): differs from the Positive Vibration from Audio 2; has introduction by Ken Williams, Junior Marvin talks to the audience after the song ends, and then it cuts out.
Audio 4 (Audience fragment #1): (Burnin' & Lootin' is performed in-between Positive Vibration and Wake Up & Live / Exodus cuts out at the end of the 1st verse and cuts back in "with the life you live in / ends after Jamming).
Audio 5 (Audience fragment #2): (The Heathen, Running Away > Crazy Baldhead, War > No More Trouble, Africa Unite, One Drop, Exodus / The Heathen cuts in during Junior Marvin's guitar solo and Exodus cuts out before the song ends and the encore begins; this is usually followed by the 2nd half of Exodus & Jamming from Audio 4)

Notes #2:
--- This is an remaster of Audio 5; thanks to Tim "chunga1" Jones for the source used for said remaster.
--- Audacity was only used to split the waveforms and manually align it so it wouldn't be off by much.
--- Thanks to Timothy White (RIP) for the recording
--- Thanks to Frank Jones for the cassette and virtual guidance
--- Thanks to Bob Marley & The Wailers for existing
