Many of these songs were performed on Adams' recent tour of the [[United States]] and [[Europe]]. "Off Broadway" first appeared on the bootleg ''[[The Suicide Handbook]]'', a compilation of unreleased demo recordings, and was performed at least as early as 2001. "These Girls" previously appeared as "Hey There, Mrs. Lovely" on Adams' unreleased 2000 album ''[[Destroyer (Ryan Adams album)|Destroyer]]''; the lyrics have been partly rewritten over time, but the original melody is intact.
