Audio album

In 2019, the film was released as a live album for the first time ever on music streaming platforms and on vinyl. [1]

Background

Gabriel spent part of 2002–2003 on tour in support of his album Up . [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 the Secret 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 been UP, so there was a certain logic to this vertical translation onto the stage." [1] Performing guests for the show included The Blind Boys of Alabama, Dr Hukwe Zawose, Charles Zawose, Sevara Nazarkhan and the voice of Nusrat Fateh Ali Khan. [1]
