On all shows of the Across the Night tour, the concert was divided into two sets,^[5] which were introduced on the three large video screens above the stage as "Act 1" and "Act 2"; the respective CDs and DVDs in the album are labelled in the same manner.^[9] "Act 1", which showcased mainly quieter and more experimental material,^[5] was "dominated" by songs from the band's then-latest studio album, Diorama, and was marked by "grand orchestrated sections (replicated by two extra keyboards); dramatic flourishes, both vocally and instrumentally; [and] an almost parodic leap into prog rock's 'look at me, look at me' shifts of form and time."^[10] "Act 2", which consisted of heavier rock songs,^[5] saw the band "revert to more of a hard rock set-up, with the cabaret touches junked for less subtle, but brutally effective delivery."^[11]

The album spent three weeks on the Australian ARIA Charts, peaking at #13.^[12] It has been certified gold by the Australian Recording Industry Association.^[13] The original two-CD/two-DVD release was made available in both CD-sized and DVD-sized packaging.
