In 2019, the film was released as a live album for the first time ever on music streaming platforms and on vinyl.[1]
Gabriel spent part of 2002–2003 on tour in support of his albumUp.[1] The tour, called the "Growing Up" tour, visited 32 cities across North America and Europe.[1] The concert video and live album were taken from the performances over two nights in Milan in May 2003.[1] Gabriel described the idea behind the staging of the concert: "Last time [for theSecret World tour] we had two stages, a male stage and a female stage, and they were representing different things, urban, rural and this time we have moved the axis vertically, and it’s a sky stage and an earth stage. The album title had beenUP, so there was a certain logic to this vertical translation onto the stage."[1] Performing guests for the show includedThe Blind Boys of Alabama, DrHukwe Zawose, Charles Zawose,Sevara Nazarkhan and the voice ofNusrat Fateh Ali Khan.[1]
