1. “Dragonfly” (1971 single + FM’s 1971 Greatest Hits)

2. “Trinity” (Bare Trees Outtake)

3. “Crazy ‘Bout You Baby” (1970 Live-In-Studio version on Madison Blues)

4. “Bermuda Triangle” (Sausalito Soundboard 1974, full version WITH the piano solo, often omitted from existing recordings)

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.
