Note: This collection gathers some harder to find tracks, such as Come Sunday, Stay Hungry and Helicopter Pilot, Don's live recording of Queen's English with the Auckland Chamber Orchestra, the first ever public airing of Green Lantern (recorded at the 12 Bar Club in Feb '98), and some audio from live TV performances. The rest are mostly personal choices of particularly good live performances, some of which I've tweaked and removed some background hiss from.

A note from Don about the live recording of "Queen's English" performed with the Auckland Chamber Orchestra, Chris O'Connor and John Segovia. "It's based on the arrangement I did for the Mutton Birds' gig with the NZ National Symphony back in '99 - but I had to re-jig it for smaller orchestra."
