The bonus CD included five previously unreleased tracks. One was the popular live song "Pantomime", which was recorded for A Crow Left of the Murder..., but ultimately left off. "Monuments and Melodies", a B-side of the "Megalomaniac" single and Japanese bonus track of A Crow Left of the Murder..., was also released. A new version of the song called "Follow" (the previous version being a movement from The Odyssey, featured on the Halo 2 Original Soundtrack) was included. Finally, there are live performances of the songs "Circles" and "Are You In" on the CD.

Reception

Alex Henderson of AllMusic awarded it four out of five stars, writing that it contains "inspired, gutsy performances of 'Talk Shows on Mute', 'Drive', 'Wish You Were Here', 'Megalomaniac' and other favorites." Henderson added that, "Alive at Red Rocks isn't for the alt-metal/nu metal ideologues who insist that Incubus peaked around 1995-1996, but anyone who admires their more recent output will find a lot to savor on this generally excellent release."^[1]
