Omitted songs

MCA video released the entire concert on video as "Glenn Frey: Strange Weather Live", in 1992. Because there wasn't enough room on the Live CD, the concert includes three songs (all from Frey's solo career) that the CD left out. The concert opens with the Strange Weather album track "Long Hot Summer", the 1988 single "Livin' Right" appears halfway through, and 1982's "Partytown" is part of the encore.
