As Gray explains in the Up to a Point documentary on the DVD version of the performance: “It’s hard to avoid the clichés, but what the hell. It was an unforgettable night to crown an incredible year. Not so much a gig as a celebration. A moment when it all made sense, a stepping into bigger shoes, a taste of things to come.”

The performance of "Babylon" was released as a B-side on Gray's "Please Forgive Me" CD single.
