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.
- 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".
