The show was recorded at Palais Omnisport de Paris-Bercy on October 18th 2003 and was part of the “Sleeping with ghosts” tour.
Concert and tour were filmed by Done and Dusted, DVD project manager was Alex Weston who is still one of the band's managers today.

Apart from the gig you can find a 25 minutes documentary on the DVD. There are also two “hidden easter eggs”, in one of them you can see Brian speaking to a doctor and then getting an injection in his naked backside.

The filmed performance includes 21 songs, the last one is quite special to Brian because it was a duet version of the Pixies cover “Where is my mind?” that he sung together with Pixies frontman Black Francis (who started a solo career as Frank Black after the band's break-up). You can read how Brian felt at this moment in the quote below.

”[...] In fact it’s immortalised in our live DVD that’s coming out, and we actually took to the stage with Frank Black to do 'Where is my mind?', so that’s like the biggest vindication possible… so you’re just kind of like “Screw you, I’m on stage with Frank Black!”. Yeah. It’s like, “I don’t care what you think about me man, you know, look at me now!”
