While it is not part of the Big 8 and there has never been a studio release, "Southern Cross" makes its first official release. It was well-received when Buffett starting performing it during the Banana Wind Tour (1996)
and became a concert staple from 1998 through 2002's Far Side of the World Tour

The album also featured songs like "Coconut Telegraph", "Pencil Thin Mustache
" and "Son of a Son of a Sailor
" that haven't appeared on a live album for nearly fifteen years.
The remainder of the album features concert standards. Although played at every show, three of the Big 8 failed to make the cut: "A Pirate Looks at Forty
", "Why Don't We Get Drunk
", and "Changes in Latitudes, Changes in Attitudes
" (the latter also being cut from Buffett's previous live release, Feeding Frenzy
).
The tracklistings show that "Margaritaville

benefit concert, Buffett forgot that he had included the lost verse on his first live album You Had to Be There
and apologized for making it appear that it was the lost verse's debut on this album.
The studio version of "Love and Luck" is available on Boats, Beaches, Bars and Ballads.
