Due to time constraints, the songs "The Great Debate", "Under A Glass Moon" and "Caught In a Web", which included an extended drum solo, were removed from the setlist at the last minute. On the DVD, during the credits, the song "Vacant" is played in the background, without James LaBrie's vocals.

• James LaBrie – Lead Vocals, Percussion

• It is a common misconception that in "Solitary Shell", at 2:13, Mike Portnoy plays the intro of U2's "Sunday Bloody Sunday," where in fact he does not.
• Budokan and Once In A Livetime are the only Dream Theater live albums not to include the song "Metropolis Pt. 1: The Miracle and the Sleeper" in full. However, excerpts of it are played during "Instrumedley."
• Some overdubs have been made as you can see John Myung making a mistake at the multiangle version of "Instrumedley" at around 3:15.
