5. “Start Again” (early—and vocally superior—take of “Morning Rain” only available on BBC tapes)
6. “Never Make Me Cry” (1978 version with full band presence, piano, and—I think—arp strong ensemble)
7. “At Last” (1998 live, Stevie belting out this torch song like nobody’s business!)
8. “Has Anyone Ever Written Anything For You” (1998, Storytellers version—a revelation)
9. “Friend” (2004 acoustic, electric keyboard, percussion version)
10. “Goodbye Angel” (1982, Mirage Outtake)

Yeah, I was considering including Trinity. I really love it. The atmosphere and general vibe of the song is amazing...love the conga drums. Criminal it never got included on an album, for whatever reason. But I didn't include it though, as no matter how bad Danny's lyrics can be, I thought they're particularly flimsy on this song.
