The DVD is comprised of three discs with live material, promo videos and various other bits. The first disc is comprised of live stuff and features the original Dive dive Live video and the Japan only Skunkworks live Video. The second disc features a video from the live screen feed from one of São Paulo gigs during which "Scream for me Brazil" was recorded.
The third disc contains all promo videos with comments from Bruce on the thoughts and ideas behind the videos. Included is also a "Tyranny of souls EPK" (Electronic Press Kit) where Bruce gives some insight in the process of making and recording the album with Roy Z. The last item on the disc is a gem from Bruce's past in Samson, the "Biceps of steel" video. This piece was directed by Julien Temple (who directed Sex Pistol's "The great rock 'n' roll swindle") and features two Samson tracks mimed on stage interleaved with some sort of storyline. The version on this DVD however omits the acted bits of the storyline and features only the song performances. It is also worth mentioning that the version of the "Tears of The dragon"-video is the short version, with a cut in the guitar solo.
