Several tunes from the first concert were broadcast only in incomplete form: "Jean Pierre" (7:17); "Star People" (5:32); "Ms. Morrisine" (2:14); and "Code M.D" (5:40).

"One Phone Call - Street Scenes" and "Speak" from both concerts were issued as one title on Warner and Eagle Vision: "Theme from Jack Johnson; One Phone Call/Street Scenes; That's What Happened."

"Something on Your Mind" is listed as "MD 1 - Something's on Your Mind - MD 2" on Warner and Eagle Vision.

The titles listed on JF 1001 are wrong: "You're under Arrest" - "Human Nature" - "Medley: Mrs. Morrisine & You're Under Arrest" - "Spring" - "Decoy."
