RBD made history in this concert by becoming the first Spanish language act to sell out the Maracanã, overshadowing in the process the turnouts for acts such as Luis Miguel or Guns N' Roses with 50.000. This particular concert also saw the first performance of "Ser O Parecer", RBD's lead single off of their then-upcoming third studio album, Celestial.
The DVD included extra features such as a documentary following RBD's first Brazilian concert tour, in which the group performed 13 sold-out concerts in 12 cities; the main being Manaus, Belém, Belo Horizonte, Brasilia, Porto Alegre (the only city in which they played two concerts), Sao Paulo, and finishing in Rio de Janeiro, where the DVD was filmed. Other special features on the DVD include a behind-the-scenes documentary hosted by a teenage fan, showing other fans in line for the concert, as well as the tour's crew. A photo gallery with pictures of fans dressed as "rebeldes", taken during the line for the concert, was also included.
An official 2-CD promotional live album was made in Mexico, but was not released for sale, just distributed to radio stations. In Brazil, a special limited edition of the album was distributed to subscribers of cable TV channel Boomerang (in which RBD's originating telenovela, Rebelde, was shown) with a cardboard cover imitating the school uniform the characters wore in the telenovela.
On July 21, 2023, the live audio was released through streaming platforms, after being one of the two DVDs not released with the rest of the band's music in September 2020, the other being Tournée do Adeus.
