His drum solo during "Soul Sacrifice" in the Woodstock film has been described as "electrifying", although he considers his solo during the same piece in 1970 at Tanglewood the superior performance.

This became known as the "Japanese Edition". A slightly different general release was released in Europe on 26 November 2010. This version, named the "European Edition", features a different track order between the CDs and the DVD, and slightly different track lengths. On 19 April 2011 a third version of Big in Japan was released in the United States. This "American Edition" consists of the same two CDs as the European version, but features a completely different DVD.
