Tracks 1-3 are listed as being from May 7th. While Metallica also actually did play in Buenos Aires on the 7th, only "Last Caress" was in the set; the audio matches the show on the 8th anyway. "Are You Gonna Go My Way" is just a short instrumental version (the bootleg does mention it in the tracklisting). Although the tracks flow continuously into one another, "Last Caress" was actually played in the set before the other two.
Tracks 4-5 are incorrectly listed as "live in Los Angeles, Shrine Auditorium on February 22nd, 1993." These are all instrumentals, and everything on track 5 (well, except the Hitchcock theme) is just a short riff or partial cover. Track 4 fades out. The medley on track 5 is comprised of 4 parts from several different shows; everything up to the Hitchcock theme seems to be from a single show, then the theme and the two AC/DC riff covers are each from different gigs with fade-outs after each part.
The "Back in Black" section is from the '91 Basel show but I haven't been able to positively identify the others. I believe "Little Wing" is the same version used in the video footage from "Live Shit: Binge & Purge," either from Seattle or San Diego shows. The Hitchcock theme is probably also from one of those shows or the '92 Copps Coliseum show.
The bootleg does specifically list the various parts of track 5, although the Alfred Hitchcock theme is mistakenly listed as "The Addams Family."
Track 6 is an instrumental. The opening riff to "Smoke on the Water" is played at the beginning.
Tracks 7-8 were performed with the original Diamond Head lineup. Sean Harris sings both songs. These are listed with the correct month/day, but with the wrong year of 1993. Humorously, the track breakdown in the booklet credits these songs to Anti-Nowhere League.
Track 9 has guest vocals from Animal of Anti-Nowhere League. The bootleg incorrectly lists this track as being from July 25th, 1992.
There's another bad credit for tracks 10-11--the bootleg claims Lloyd Grant played guitar on the NWoBHM covers! There's a sound oddity/brief static burst at 0:32 of track 10.
The demo version of "Jump in the Fire" has significantly different (and dumber) lyrics than the later album version.
