I assume the 24/2/90 show was filmed as a 'dry run' for the televised concert as the setlists are identical.
Not only a dry run, but the camera crew would have filmed it to use bits (fretboard closeups, etc.) as "coverage" footage for a re-edited version, replacing missed or inferior shots from the second night. Audio bits as well, in case needed for patches.
There's always a re-edit for a second broadcast, such as the 2003 MSG show on HBO, whose rebroadcast version differed from the live capture.
Did it? Do you know in what way?
I know the Tokyo 26/2/90 wasnt broadcast 'live' but was shown a couple of months later with a couple of songs cut out (bizarrely, one of them was 'Sympathy', which is a performance that for me is up there with the one on 'Ya Yas' as the best version of it I've ever heard - its the same one thats on 'Flashpoint' albeit with the guitar solos somewhat truncated). They broadcast the full show on a re-run a few months later.
For instance, if you watch a tape of the first night live edit of the 2002 MSG, and a tape of the version rebroadcast by HBO multiple times over the next month, you'll see different visual editing choices.
I believe rebroadcasts of their PPV shows are also re-edited, though this is almost always visual and not sound overdubs or cuts to the setlist (except sometimes tightening overlong intervals between songs). An exception would be overdubs applied to the very heavily re-edited and shortened commercial broadcast of "Terrifying," with its 3-D segment.
This is kind of a shame, for while the "finished product" is notably slicker looking, a lot of the "on the fly" editing choices made in the production truck are often more exciting and have a better visual logic. This seems to have become the industry norm, however, and you can see it in re-broadcast sporting events such as the Olympics. Don't get me started on skaters' knickers.
