Background
The band performed at least one song from each of their albums, including The Doctor. "I Want You To Want Me" (from In Color) was performed slightly differently, with the lyric "I'd love you to love me" sung in a different tune. The band also performed acoustic versions of "I Can't Take It" (from Next Position Please), "Take Me to the Top" (from The Doctor), "It All Comes Back to You" (from their 2nd eponymous album), and "Tonight It's You" (from Standing on the Edge). Rick Nielsen also sang lead on "World's Greatest Lover" (from All Shook Up). Guest stars include:
- Former bassist Jon Brant, who made a brief return to play "If You Want My Love" and "She's Tight" (both from One on One).
- Holland Zander, Robin Zander's daughter and former lead singer of The Snaggs, appearing to sing a duet version of "Time Will Let You Know" (from Robin's solo album).
- Daxx Nielsen played drums and percussion on many songs and Miles Nielsen played guitar on a couple songs.
- The Rockford Symphony and the Harlem High School Choir were also guests on some songs.
- Slash played guitar on "You're All Talk" (from In Color), ex-Smashing Pumpkins frontman Billy Corgan did the same for "Just Got Back", and Art Alexakis joined the band for a cover of The Beatles' "Day Tripper".
