Performance information
On the songs that have female vocals on the album ("Seat Next to You" and "Till We Ain't Strangers Anymore"), violinist Lorenza Ponce sings the parts performed by the original artists on the studio versions.
"Any Other Day" features solos from Bobby Bandiera (rhythm guitar), Kurt Johnston (pedal steel guitar), Lorenza Ponce (violin), David Bryan (keyboards) and finishing with an extended solo from lead guitarist Richie Sambora. This stretches the song to over 8 minutes, double the length of the studio version.
Technical notes
The European release, while having the correct region coding on the DVD, is still in the American NTSC picture format. The bonus performances are formatted as a 4:3 frame with a letterbox, which when viewed on a widescreen set produces a black area around all sides of the picture (windowboxing).
