Information

The DVD features most of Muse's gig at the Glastonbury 2004 Festival, along with some other performances from other shows during the Absolution Tour. The only songs missing from the Glastonbury gig on the DVD are Citizen Erased, Stockholm Syndrome, and the Heartbreaker riff (that was played before Time is Running Out). Citizen Erased was broadcast in real time on digital TV while Stockholm Syndrome and Heartbreaker Riff along with Blackout were broadcast on BBC2.

The music in the main menu is the riff played before Butterflies & Hurricanes, which has been dubbed the Glastonbury riff.

The DVD was dedicated to William Howard - Dom's father who tragically passed away from a heart attack shortly after the band's performance at Glastonbury.

The DVD used to be available to stream online via the media player on the official Muse website. The videos were decoded from an Australian promotional DVD-R. The USA special edition of Black Holes and Revelations also included Absolution Tour as a bonus disc.
