DVD/Blu-ray notes
The DVD/Blu-ray discs contain four videos that were used to start/end the show:
- "The World Is...The World Is..." - Played before Set 1; an animated presentation of the band's advance through changing fashion/music styles over their entire career
- "No Country for Old Hens" - Played before Set 2; a montage of jokes and outtakes (mostly chicken-based) from the videos used in the band's four previous tours
- "Mel's Rock Pile" - Played before the encore; features Eugene Levy as his Second City Television character Rockin' Mel Slirrup, a 1970s-era DJ who introduces the band as an up-and-coming act
- "Exit Stage Left" - Post-show video and closing credits, in which the band's dressing room is commandeered for a party by the characters from their album covers
These discs contain only the first three of the seven bonus tracks.
