Release
The album is available in three configurations: one double-DVD including bonus features; a five-disc set that consists of two DVDs and three CDs; and a limited-edition vinyl box set which consists of the double-DVD, a set of four 180-gram LPs of the concert's live audio in its entirety, a numbered lithograph with artwork designed by the band's frontman Mikael Åkerfeldt and Travis Smith, and a 20-page booklet of photos of the event and exclusive artwork.
The concert performance was split into two sets for the DVD. The first set consists of the entire Blackwater Park album, while the second features one song from each of their other albums in chronological order, representing the twenty years of evolution in the band's music.
Cover art
The cover art is purposely similar to that of Deep Purple's Concerto for Group and Orchestra, which was recorded at the same venue in 1969, "underlining the band's longstanding love for their prog-rock roots".
