Notes

On "Black Sheep", Tony Kakko sings different lyrics after the intro. Instead of singing "In love with the maiden, the flower of winter, lowbrow children, in grove of the inland", Tony sings "We're not Iron Maiden, we're not from England, we are Sonata, and we come from Finland." After this, however, Tony sings the lyrics as heard on the Silence album.In the middle of "Kingdom for a Heart" they play few lines from "Letter to Dana". Also in "Kingdom for a Heart", Tony changes the line "Treasure and crowns don't mean a thing" to "Treasure and crowns don't mean a shit". In the song "Shamandalie", Tony Kakko also changes the line "Time went by" to "Years went by".
