The full concert was 82 minutes long, but the recording was shortened by Niemen and added to the archives in the late 1970s. The title "41 Potencjometrów Pana Jana" came from the name of Janusz Kosiński (who Niemen referred to as "Jan") who helped edit Niemens material, and the number of minutes of material that they kept from the original concert. (In fact, they had only eight potentiometers).
