"Sgt. Pepper Live" concerts included the band performing a few of their own biggest hits live as well, including "Dream Police" and "I Want You To Want Me". Also, a number of the live performances (particularly the later ones at the Paris Las Vegas) did not feature Bun E. Carlos on drums; instead, they featured Rick Nielsen's son Daxx.
