Broadway and film actor Kent Broadhurst assisted the band with live narration in the role of the hypnotherapist, replacing Terry Brown (record producer), who had threatened to sue the band for using his spoken parts from the album in a live setting.
The VHS release of Metropolis 2000: Scenes from New York was heavily shortened and only contains the performance of Metropolis Pt. 2: Scenes from a Memory. The entire concert is on CD on Live Scenes From New York.
