Angel — Cliff backed by the Jack Parnell Orchestra, this is a staged performance with The Malcolm Clare Dancers and Cliff dancing about ladders placed in a ring around the stage.

500 Miles — The Shadows .It is straight stage performance with the band standing around a microphone and while singing vocal harmonies and playing all acoustic instruments.

Sway — Cliff backed by The Shadows, this is a straight staged performance with the band all playing acoustic instruments.

My Blue Heaven — Cliff backed by the Jack Parnell Orchestra

Big 'B' — The Shadows. It's essentially a Brian Bennett drum solo; Brian is on a raised platform playing drums while other Shadows are on side playing and dancers dance between them.

I'm Lookin' Out The Window — Cliff Backed by Jack Parnell and His Orchestra, this is the first of the performances in the white wooden buildings with the love lost and found theme. Cliff sings the song while "looking out the window" of the building front while lamenting over a little broken styrofoam heart. He ends the performance by exiting the door and carefully fingering the heart, before noticing The Shadows as they start their next performance behind him.

You've Got To Have Heart — The Shadows.The band is standing in front of a fake "Heart Makers" store. The band is obviously miming their performance as they are playing fake heart-shaped instruments. Near the end of the performance, Cliff brings over his broken heart and the band helps him by giving him a new, unbroken heart.

Friends — Cliff backed the Jack Parnell Orchestra and The Shadows (on backing vocals only), this is a song and dance ensemble with Cliff and The Shadows performing around the counter of the "Heart Makers" shop. The song is taken from the Aladdin And His Wonderful Lamp pantomime.

I'm On My Way — Cliff backed by the Jack Parnell Orchestra

The Time In Between — Cliff backed by The Shadows, Cliff wanders about the trees outside the house stage and ends the song by walking to the front door.Cliff wanders into the house and looks around at all the decorations and marvels at the statuary (played by the dancers) along the walls. He ends up looking at a grandfather clock, which leads into the next song.

My Grandfather's Clock — The Shadows.

Do You Want To Dance — Cliff Backed by The Shadows. This is a very strange rendition of the song. On stage, The Shadows join Cliff and the dancing statues and they perform a slower, almost waltz/country version of the song. Cliff dances with Joan Palethorpe or Audrey Bayley (it's unclear which) throughout the performance.
To end the statue/house scenario, a jazzy instrumental by Jack Parnell and His Orchestra plays while Cliff with his lady statue (again, Joan Palethorpe or Audrey Bayley) along with each of The Shadows who also find a female partner, return to the alcoves. They all, including Cliff who takes the woman in his arms, become statues again and the scene ends.

Little Princess — This song is performed by The Shadows. It features The Shadows (minus Brian Bennett the drummer) sitting on stools at stage left while dancers dance to the tune in front of three giant guitar props.

Moonlight Bay — Supposedly backed by Jack Parnell and His Orchestra, Cliff sings and dance with Audrey Bayley and Joan Palethorpe using hats as props in a choreographed performance. This might actually be a mimed performance to the studio recording used for the Holiday Carnival EP, but it's slightly different. It is a perfect match, including all vocals (Cliff's and the backing) and instrumentation, up until the very end. Where the studio recording fades, the version here diverges, repeating the final chorus three times before it has a non-fading end. This might actually be a previously unreleased edit of the studio recording.

Wonderful Land — The Shadows

The Minute You're Gone — Backed by The Shadows with Hank and Bruce joining in on harmony vocals, this is a straight stage performance of the song.
