Controversy
When watching the DVD one can notice it isn't specifically just from the one specified London show. The DVD was in fact filmed across every night of their short five date April tour; however, it's predominantly from the London show at the Relentless Garage. There are some differences within the DVD due to the usage of extra shots from other nights, such as a wristband on Alex Davies wrist appearing and disappearing between shots. It is also debatable that the violins in 'I Believe' have been overdubbed as there are no violins on stage and the band never usually played to backing tracks.
