Notes

Many of the tracks appear on the Eleven Thousand Notes DVD. Heavy Disco Trip, Karn Evil 9, and Bumblebee are the only tunes missing.

On the song "Tell the Truth", the band breaks into a blues riff that was originally heard on the song "Double Trouble" on Paul's first solo album King of Clubs. The final tune on the album "The Jam" is entirely that same riff, while Gilbert solos over it.

Track #4 is originally recorded by Spirit on the album Twelve Dreams of Dr. Sardonicus.

Track #10 is originally recorded by The Osmonds on the album Crazy Horses.

Track #13 is originally recorded by Mr. Big on the album Lean Into It.
