The DVD had subtitles for spoken portions of the DVD in several languages. The highly anticipated shows on the DVD marked the end of George Michael's triumphant 25 Live Tour and were the last chance to catch Michael performing on a stage of this magnitude in London.
Background information
In 2006, George Michael announced his first tour in 15 years, 25 Live. This DVD was recorded and filmed on 24 and 25 August 2008 when George Michael declared two special performances entitled "The Final Two" which took place in Earls Court, London. Moreover, another "final" concerts were announced in Copenhagen and Abu Dhabi. Those concerts were the last extensive touring that was performed by George Michael. The concert set list is a bit different from earlier in the tour. The DVD was recorded in the latter part of the tour, which had a very different set list. Earlier in the tour, the set list was vastly different. Since most artists record the last (or last couple of) show(s) on a tour, the set list can change over the course of the tour. The DVD reflects the final set list later used in the "Finals" concerts in Abu Dhabi, Australia, etc. The DVD is a mesh of the last two shows at Earl's Court. The viewer can see a few of the differences between the two nights (example: the Congo player changes between two different men during "Too Funky"). The viewer can also see different places George is standing from shot to shot (as in the extended part of "Fastlove", once on the main stage, then a second later at the end of the catwalk stage extension).
