CD2 Track 8 and CD3 Tracks 1 and 4 are live concert recordings. These are listed without the „Live“ suffix on the back cover, but the suffix is present in Irmin Schmidt’s liner notes for all three. CD3 Track 6 is also described as a live recording, but Schmidt writes that he has „no idea“ whether it was recorded onstage or in a studio.
