It was recorded at Sound Image Studio, Hollywood on January 11, 2004 in front of select group of guests.

Hughes’ band for the gig included regular guitarist JJ Marsh, additional guitarist George Nastos (who has performed on some of Hughes’ other albums), keyboardist Ed Roth and Red Hot Chili Peppers drummer Chad Smith.

Hughes also recruited the singers Alex Ligertwood (formerly of Santana) and the late Kevin DuBrow (of Quiet Riot) to perform backing vocals.

All CDs include the previously unreleased song The Healer, which was performed by Hughes alone and features his guitar playing.

The CD and DVD rearranged the order of the tracks from the original performance at Sound Image Studios.
