Nearly everything about this release suggests that it is unofficial. First of all, nowhere on the release is Radioactive Records credited or are the members of Live mentioned. The only company listed anywhere on the release is Alpha Music, and online searches for them turn up nothing of any relevance. There is no mention of the country of origin anywhere on the release. The catalog number is 'CDLV-001/03' on both spines and on the disc itself, however the back cover has it written out as 'CDLV 001-03'. A legitimate release would have been a bit more careful. On top of this, the lyric book contains the usual bunch of stock promotional photographs of the band, and the 'The Distance to Here'-era Live logo that is used on the front and back covers looks like the work of someone who just read three pages of the PhotoShop help file. Finally, the very end of 'Century' actually plays the beginning note of 'Ghost', as if the song was ripped directly from 'Secret Samadhi' and nobody bothered to edit it.

About the only thing that gives this release any credibility is the UPC number. I ran a check on the barcode, and it turned up valid. The manufacturer was unknown, and there was no information given about the barcode, except that it wasn't false. However, this does not necessarily mean that the release is official, since it is entirely possible that the bootlegger (if this is a bootleg) simply added that barcode on the back cover from a completely different product in order to make the release appear more official.

The '2000 Millennium Gift' was given out to attenders of the rescheduled Millennium Show by Live at Hershey Arena in Hershey, PA on February 4th, 2000. They had originally planned to have the Millennium Show on December 31st, 1999 at the same location, but Ed came down with an upper respiratory infection before the show and was ordered by doctors not to sing for 4-6 weeks. The '2000 Millennium Gift' was sort of a consolation gift to ticket holders for having to reschedule.

This CD is limited to 6200 copies.

The word 'millennium' is misspelt 'millenium' on the spine.

'Bonus Disc' is proud to be the owner of the longest catalog number in the Live catalog.

This is a test pressing of the Canadian promo compilation CD of the same name [UMCF-05047-2].

The disc mislabels track 11 as 'Run the Water'.

This sampler includes the song 'Heaven' three times and 'Everytime I See your Face' twice. It was basically used to promote the release of 'Birds of Pray', but also to give the listener an idea of what else the band has to offer.

All tracks recorded live in Toronto, Ontario at The Warehouse on February 21st, 1997.

'Live From Canada' came out right after the release of 'Secret Samadhi'. It was part of a short promotion with Canadian Future Shop locations, where if you bought a Live CD from a Future Shop location, you were given a copy of 'Live From Canada' as a bonus. MuchMusic actually aired commercials promoting 'Secret Samadhi' and 'Live From Canada'.

This promotional CD-ROM was handed out when you bought Live's fifth album, 'V', in Europe. It contains a selection of multimedia features, but no regular audio tracks. It includes a discography, biography, some pictures of the band, lyrics (with sound clips), and the video for 'Simple Creed'.

The sound clip which plays while viewing the lyrics to 'Forever May not be Long Enough' is the earlier version of the song, which appears on the soundtrack to 'The Mummy Returns'.

'Waiting So Long' and 'Babaji' (supposedly tracks 4 and 5 on disc 2, respectively) are not actually featured on the disc. In fact, they are not even Live songs. They are in fact songs by Supertramp which somehow got typed up on the back cover of this release. Therefore, the actual tracklist of disc 2 is the regular 'Secret Samadhi' tracklist.
