[edit] Overview

The show was based around the promotion of the group's latest album '3D', which had been released by European record label Ariola just prior to the engagement. Six songs from the concert went on to form side two of the group's Gold lp released the following year. When the concert was televised it had been edited down and several songs that were on the album were not televised. Indeed likewise several songs from the television airing did not make it onto the album.
