The album omits two songs he performed on the night—renditions of "House of the Rising Sun," a traditional folk song made popular by The Animals, and "The End of the World," a 1962 Skeeter Davis hit that was on the original Trouble No More album.

In his original review of this performance in the New York Times, Jon Pareles wrote that Mellencamp's "scruffy baritone and its deep-seated rasp are rooted in 1960's soul, and he treated the old songs the way he would treat his own: adding instrumental hooks and often using a broad-shouldered beat direct from the Rolling Stones. He was seeking the spirit of the music, not its original performance style."
