The DVD was released in 2001 by GUN Records without asking the band for permission. It contains a concert from 7 May 1998 in E-Werk in Cologne. That gig was recorded by the German TV station WDR for their Rockpalast show.

Although the DVD carries a "full live show" label on the front cover, it contains only 74 of the 113 recorded minutes. However, some rare audio material was added to the audio side of this DVD.
