==Tracklist== | |||
===Beverly Hills=== | |||
This version of Beverly Hills includes the notable "extended talk box solo" played by Rivers, which is considered by some fans the "saving grace" for this song. In this performance, the background vocals "gimmie gimmie" are performed by Scott and Brian instead of the female vocals on the album version. | |||
===Buddy Holly=== | |||
This version of Buddy Holly includes the guitar/synth intro played on recent tours. This live session was performed following the Make Believe tour, and as a result Rivers's voice is somewhat hoarse. His voice cracks many times throughout the song, most notably on the lyric "What's with these homies dissin' my girl?" Auto Tuning is used significantly on this song and all the other songs from the 2005 AOL Sessions. | |||
===Don't Let Go=== | |||
This version of Don't Let Go includes the synthesizer arrangement, which, according to many fans, greatly improves the song. Brian plays lead guitar during this performance and Rivers only sings. | |||
===Island in the Sun=== | |||
This is an entirely acoustic performance of the song, performed only by Rivers. Having come straight off the Make Believe tour, his voice is notably hoarse during this performance. Auto Tuning is heavily used during this performance and at certain points Rivers has been described by fans to "sound like a robot" because of it. It is the most noticeable during the bridge. | |||
===Perfect Situation=== | |||
This performance is very similar to the single version, excluding all the flubbed notes sung by Rivers. It includes the background vocal of "Perfect situation" during the outro. | |||
