The show took place on 24 March 1996, and featured various guest musicians. The album is slightly condensed from the performance and slightly re-arranged. The performance opened, as does the album, with "Columbus (Didn't Find America)", the title track of the band's 1993 extended play, written by Knightley during the duo's time with Alianza. The song is a protest song about the Spanish exploitation of the New World. The duo then performed "Day Has Come", a song from "Beat about the Bush", but the music had been re-arranged, although the lyrics stayed the same. This was followed by "Lie of the Land" song "The Preacher", non-album track "Cutthroats, Crooks and Conmen", and two traditional tracks, "The Blue Cockade", which had featured on "Beat about the Bush", and "The Soldiers Joy", at which point hints the band will play the "one about the horses" later, referring to "The Galway Farmer".
