A notable inclusion is the "Outtake Version" of "Free Bird", which, with a longer running time of 10:08, differs from the original 1973 studio recording (from (Pronounced 'Lĕh-'nérd 'Skin-'nérd)) of the song (timed at 9:08) by having a concluding outro instead of a fade-out ending.
The album was certified 5× platinum in July 2001 by the RIAA, making it the band's highest-selling album.[5]
