Two tracks had already been released: "All Along the Watchtower" was included in the compilation of Dylan songs, Postcards of the Hanging , and "Man Smart (Woman Smarter)" was released on Weir Here – The Best of Bob Weir . The album title is taken from a line in the band's song "Truckin' ", though it was not included in the setlist that night.
