The album featured many of Buffett's concert favorites as well as three new songs that have not appeared on any other Buffett album: "Perrier Blues," "Morris' Nightmare," and the
instrumental "Dixie Diner" (a cover originally byLarry Raspberry & the Highsteppers )The album was heavily edited between shows, making the playlist out of order of the actual show. Songs known to have been played but deleted from the final cut are:
* Banana Republics
* Cheeseburger in Paradise
* Coast of Marseilles
* The Last Line
* Livingston Saturday Night
* Mañana"
Cheeseburger in Paradise " is the only popular song deleted from the album, which is very strange because the song was at its peak in popularity at the time of its release. The reason the song was scrapped from the album is unknown.Track listings
