Notes edit

  • 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
  • All noted tracks are arranged by Paul Gilbert.
