In a recent interview with The Flint Journal, MACHINE HEAD frontman Robert Flynn had the following to say about the upcoming DVD: "Rather than capture one night, we wanted to capture a vibe of the tour. It's kind of like a tour documentary and it's just two weeks of the tour. It's got stuff from the different shows, the main Brixton (Academy) show where we had the sound and lights and a lot of cameras.

"Every three or four songs, there's going to be a 5- to 10-minute mini movie. The first one is the making of the record, the second one is life on the road — from super fun (stuff) to incredibly boring to super fun — and a thing on the fans. It's all going to be spliced in like a movie."
