The vast majority of cuts are live versions of songs previously on Procol Harum studio albums; however, following "Homburg," Gary Brooker sings one verse of "Goodnight, Irene," the traditional song made popular by Lead Belly in the 1950s. A second song, "Missing Person," is from Gary Brooker's solo 1985 album, Echoes in the Night. Except for these two songs, all of the lyrics were written by Keith Reid. "Missing Person" was written by Brooker and Ian Sutherland.[citation needed]
