The bottle green vinyl version was limited to the first 300 copies. These recordings were culled from a two week national tour in 2006. They were recorded by Rich Hipp, who also was the live sound engineer for the tour. The songs were mixed and assembled by Tucker Martine at his house with the assistance of Messrs. Hipp and Meloy. Tracks 1, 12, 16, and 17 recorded at Town Hall in New York, NY. Tracks 2, 3, and 10 recorded at El Rey Theatre in Los Angeles, CA. Track 4 recorded at the Showbox in Seattle, WA.

Tracks 11 and 13 recorded at Park West in Chicago, IL. Track 14 recorded at the Great American Music Hall in San Francisco, CA. There's a bit of "Fearless" at the beginning of track 13, which was written by Gilmour/Waters, as well as a smidge of "Seven Chinese Brothers," which is attributed to Berry/Buck/Mills/Stipe.
