Song information

This compilation does nothing to correct the erred track break from Live 1980. Here though, the song "In The Night", which contained the main verse of two simultaneously played tracks, is omitted from this collection. What remains is the rest of "The Danger Zone", which is a Gary Pihl keyboard solo. The song "The Danger Zone" as it appears on the Danger Zone album is not on this, or any, live release.
