The boxset contains outtakes and rare songs of the band from the various periods of its history. Songs such as We Rule the Night come from the time before the breakthrough of the band with Slippery When Wet. Many songs are from the Slippery When Wet and New Jersey era. The latter should have been a double album, but was eventually released as a single album. Some of the unused demos made it to the set. A lot of the songs come from the time of Blaze of Glory and Keep the Faith, which originates mainly from the pen of Jon Bon Jovi himself. On the DVD, he explains that he felt at that time a regret about the loss of innocence as a musician in the business. That is the reason for certain aggressiveness in those songs. But there are also some songs from the period after the break, which had appealed to the Crush album the band. The song Last Man Standing is even only on the next studio album the band, however, appeared in a different version.
