I'll try:
Crash:
SMTS - was around since 1992
Two Step - was around since 1992
Crash - first played D&T in 9/95 with unfinished lyrics - would have been around the time of the Crash sessions.
Too Much - first played at charity show in 10/95 during the studio sessions. Being that it is credited to the entire band it is likely that it musically came from soundcheck jams.
#41 - the base was around since Spring 95 (called 41 Police) and was developed over the summer tour. Became the 41 we know in the studio.
Say Goodbye - had been around and developed on the road since Fall 1993.
DIDO - was sparingly played from 92-94 and then really developed on the road in 1995.
LYD - as per the minarets digest - John Alagia stated that Dave wrote LYD at his home in 1994
LIOG - had existed since spring 92
Cry Freedom - had existed since 1991
Billies - had existed since 1991
Proudest Monkey - debuted in 12/94 and then developed over the course of 1995
Every song on UTTAD had been played in the years prior to going into the studio. The only song that you could probably say needed finishing was R&R.
In hindsight, how little they seemed to like LYD should have been obvious. It was written in 1994 and played by Dave solo in December 1994 and then nothing until 9/95. They went out of their way to play DIDO, Say Goodbye, #41, SMTS in 95, but not LYD and then don't play it during an album promotion tour until 12/96. Makes you wonder if the only reason it was put on the album was they had nothing else to use.
