*"Grey Street" has three verses on the studio album, but starting 17 December 2002 at Pepsi Arena in Albany, New York, only the first two verses have been performed live.
*"Kit Kat Jam" is instrumental on the album. However, the version on "The Lillywhite Sessions" had lyrics, and all subsequent live versions have had lyrics. The live lyrics change on a nightly basis.
*"Captain" emerged from an old Dave Matthews solo song originally called "Crazy."
