The sixth track for the "We're Called Operation Ivy. This Is Our First Show Ever" concert is listed as “My Song” on the back cover art and DVD menu. However, this is incorrect and the song is actually “Hangin' Out”. The title of the track on this page has been corrected to reflect this.
The sixth track (“Yellin' In My Ear”) for the "Turn It Around Concert" is not selectable from the DVD menu, but can be accessed by letting the track before it finish.
