Trivia

• The concert footage is un-cut apart from the inclusion of two quick segments; the first is during "Ten Year Plan" (Andy standing in a forest), and the other is during "Rust" (Martin standing in Belfast). Individual footage of all the band members (Michael waking up outside his house, Martin waking up in a toilet, Andy waking up beside a busy road and Neil waking up in his car) appear at the end of the gig. These segments were recorded in June 2003.^[1]
• The limited edition cd has all the music unedited (including both "Ten Year Plan" and "Rust"), but some of the between song banter has been removed.
• Following the live performance of "Teethgrinder", Michael can be seen shaking Neil's hand - this is because Neil only learned the song that afternoon in rehearsal and had only one run-through of the song before the recording.
• The hidden feature (backstage on their European tour) can be accessed by waiting a couple of minutes on the title screen. A car will be heard to crash, a wheel will then roll across and come to rest on the screen, allowing a pop-up option of "Backstage".
• Liner notes on the package were written by Henry Rollins, Tim Wheeler of Ash, Dregen from Backyard Babies, Rich Jones from Amen, Neil Fallon from Clutch, JS Clayden from Pitchshifter, and Ian Glasper from Stampin' Ground.
• Despite the inclusion of 11 promo videos, the following videos were not included on the DVD: Meat Abstract, Innocent X, Turn, Opal Mantra, Isolation (version 1), Stories (version 1), Stories (version 2), Loose (Photek Remix), Church Of Noise, Little Tongues First, Bad Karma Follows You Around, and Gimme Back My Brain.
• The audio options are; Dolby Surround 5.1, Dolby Digital Stereo and DTS Digital Surround Sound.
• "Scopophobia" is fear of being seen or stared at by others.
