Recorded on October 2 and 3, 2017, at Royal Albert Hall in London, England, the band played two sold-out shows with the 52-piece Parallax Orchestra, conducted by Simon Dobson.
[1] For the occasion, the band performed songs that are rarely played, such as "The End Is Here" and "Words Darker Than Their Wings", the latter receiving its live debut.
[2] The original idea of a doing a full concert with an orchestra was the brainchild of Tim Tournier, Alter Bridge's Manager.
[3][4] Myles Kennedy explained, "I think out of all the years of doing this [music], this experience is the top two or three highlights without a doubt.".
[1] Three songs, Addicted To Pain, Words Darker Than Their Wings and The End Is Here, were released prior to the album.
