The new live Soundgarden CD draws from 6 shows (7 including the bonus soundchecks) recorded in 1996. The CD presents the songs in a haphazard fashion, mixing in and out songs from different shows. Even when songs are presented in a block from a single concert, sometimes they are out of order from the flow in which those songs were played at that particular show.

If you pre-ordered the new Soundgarden Live on I-5 you get a bonus soundcheck CD. I wasted about 30 or 40 minutes today figuring out the exact order in which the songs on the new live album were actually played by the band during this run from 11/30/96 through 12/18/96. For purists interested in that type of thing, here is a re-tracked playlist in chronological order:
