The accompanying DVD of the concert was released a couple of months later. In 2009 it was released as a CD/DVD release, in a slimline jewel-case. Only one CD was included, so three tracks were dropped for timing purposes, being 'Rivers Of Chocolate', 'Texas State Of Mind', and 'Drum solo'. The DVD was still the full show.
