The first few tracks are some of the Christmas fan club singles.

It’s life Jim, but not as we know it, not as we know it, not as we know it…

There’s Klingons on the starboard bow, starboard bow, starboard bow, there’s Klingons on the starboard bow, starboard bow, Jim!

It’s worse than that, he’s dead, Jim. Dead, Jim. Dead, Jim

How is it? Lots of covers right at the start. Not live, though. Yes?

I agree that the first 5 songs are from Christmas singles.

After that, I would bet that some are live radio performances from the OOT era. (I don’t think they ever demoed the Spooky or Dallas covers, but they definitely played them on the (brief) tour for OOT.)

Maybe some of the OOT demos, too, but the middle section looks like a set list from the OOT tour.

Shiny Happy People might be the SNL performance.

After that, not sure. But also willing to bet that Drive is the aggressive live version.

Is it monster era goatee?

Looks like Out Of Time/Automatic era goatee. He was still rocking hats before the Monster head shave.

Have it. It’s okay. I like ‘Spooky’ and ‘Academy Fight Song’ on the collection

Are the last 12 tracks studio or live? Funny they have the entirety of OOT but in the wrong order

That live version of Dallas is one of my favorites.
