Setlist
Of the eighteen songs Young performed during his second set that night, only eight had previously appeared on record, including material from Buffalo Springfield, Crosby, Stills, Nash & Young, and his first three solo albums. Five songs would appear one year later on the album Harvest, though the lyrics to "A Man Needs a Maid" show noticeable differences. "Bad Fog of Loneliness" makes its first appearance with this release. Many songs duplicate live takes found on other albums: "Cowgirl in the Sand", "Don't Let It Bring You Down", and "Down By the River" match versions on 4 Way Street; "Journey Through the Past" and "Love in Mind" resemble performances on Time Fades Away; and "The Needle and the Damage Done" appeared as a live track on Harvest.
DVD
The Massey Hall concert was not filmed, so the DVD uses footage from a performance at the Shakespeare Theatre in Stratford, Connecticut, three days later, with the Massey Hall audio dubbed over it. Where video of certain songs was lacking, footage of the reel-to-reel tape recorder used onstage fills the screen.
