Contractual restrictions from The Black Crowes’ record company prevented their own songs from being released on the first two versions of the album. The 25th anniversary edition restored those songs and added several more tracks.<ref name=":1" />

Original edition

The album was first released on 29 February 2000 with the full title Live at the Greek: Excess All Areas, via MusicMaker.com through an online process in which buyers could choose the running order of the songs, or accept a running order chosen by the company.<ref>{{#invoke:citation/CS1|citation |CitationClass=web }}</ref> A standard retail two-CD set was issued by TVT Records later the same year. That version included additional songs, an enhanced QuickTime video, and photographs taken during the concert. The Japanese version of the TVT release adds "Misty Mountain Hop" and "In the Light", recorded at a later show. Bassist Sven Pipien was fired between the two releases of the album and was airbrushed out of the group photograph in the centerfold of the TVT Records version and all subsequent vinyl reissues; session bassist Greg Rzab played on the later tracks.<ref>{{#invoke:citation/CS1|citation |CitationClass=web }}</ref> "Hey, Hey, What Can I Do" was released as a promotional single.<ref name="AllMusic-HeyHey">{{#invoke:citation/CS1|citation |CitationClass=web }}</ref>
