The live performances were taken from a series of shows at Madison Square Garden in New York City, and Continental Airlines Arena in East Rutherford, New Jersey between December 3–8, 2003.
Both the DVD and the 2-CD set include a new studio song, "Citizen of the Planet", written by Paul Simon in the 1980s and recently completed with Art Garfunkel. The DVD contains two Simon & Garfunkel songs that were omitted from the 2-CD set: "Keep the Customer Satisfied" and "The 59th Street Bridge Song (Feelin' Groovy)". There are also two additional songs performed by The Everly Brothers, which are not included in the 2-CD set. The DVD includes a series of clips from Simon & Garfunkel's rarely seen 1969 television special Songs of America as part of its extra features.
