Trivia

  • During the live performance, a puppet version of 2D and Murdoc sat on the private balcony of the opera house at made commentaries and small talk in between each song performance as well as host the live stream of the concert featured on MSN Music. The two puppets were inspired by the characters, Statler and Waldorf from The Muppets.
  • For unknown reasons, the 2D and Murdoc puppets are never acknowledged in the DVD. However, they can be briefly seen in some camera shots either laughing or having popcorn fights. In addition, footage of the puppet duo along with some of their antics at the concert would not be featured on any Gorillaz DVD until the release of the Phase Two: Slowboat To Hades DVD.
  • During the performance of All Alone, Roots Manuva stumbled on most of his verses which he substituted with "clicks" in order to avoid slowing down the tempo of the song or ruining it altogether. Roots Manuva received received a fair amount criticism for his performance during the concert.
  • During the credits, the microphones for the concert were left active while audience members exited the building. Turning up the audio volume loud enough, individual conversations and chatter amongst the crowd can clearly be heard.
