[edit] Overview

The concert was recorded live on the Japanese leg of the band's Filthy Lucre Tour. The main tracks are identical to those released on the Filthy Lucre Live album, which had been recorded on the earlier UK leg of the same tour, with the exception that the tracks "Submission" and "Holidays In The Sun" are transposed in the running order. The bonus tracks were recorded during the band's appearance at the 1996 Phoenix Festival.

This release is unique in that it is the only officially available full-length visual record of the band's performances on their 1996 Filthy Lucre Tour.

The laser disc was officially released in Japan only by VAII and is currently deleted. The DVD version with a slightly amended title was made available in Europe through Masterplan in 2007.
