Also unreleased: 
 
The Darkest Day is similar in that some of the choir is dialed out in the film (rather, it's dialed in for the shot of the destroyer over New York reaching so far it fades into the horizon)
 
The cue Alien Ship Powers Up is cut in half in the film, its opening replaced with a section of the End Titles, but what's intact ("you really think you can do all that bullshit you just said?") is a version without the choir. 
 
There are two versions of the cue Rescue (on the LLL as Target Remains / Rescue, it's the softer music for David / Connie and then Hiller taking the chopper to fly away), one where the ending string rhythm that leads to the closing brass fanfare, is muddled a bit in the performance. One of the boots, can't recall which, has the cleaner performance. 
 
There's also a cue of a basic snare drum pattern for when Hiller arrives at Area 51 with the alien, exciting Dr. Soong...I mean Dr. Okun, and the one thing I wish the LLL had, which was the pounding snare drums that open the cue Victory (titled 'Independence Day' on the various boots)
 
It's my favorite film score, and the one that made me a fan of film music's magic.

Here's me in a similar pose on some basalt...
 
 

Ey, it's not (wait for it) our fault you live in a place with suspect and potentially life-threatening geology.

Well, I can see his enthusiasm in the Making-Of video for "An Unexpected Journey", which I presume was done before any "tinkering" had occurred.
