Live Trax Vol. 5: 8.23.95 - Meadow Brook Music Festival - Rochester Hills, MI When you went to pre-order this show on the day of the announcement (March 29, 2006), the show advertised in the graphics in the store was 8.31.1995. When clicking into the pre-order, it showed the correct show's description and tracklisting. While it could be guessed that the selection of the show might have changed, reportedly the date was originally mistyped as 8.31 in the graphic, then the venue was added from looking up the incorrect date. The incorrect graphic was fixed the next day. The original release date was May 19, 2006 and was pushed a week to May 26, 2006.
