In 2006, Music for Natons released an audio version of the concert on the Lamentations double album (Live at Shepherd's Bush Empire 2003) as part of Collector's Edition Slipcase 5 CDs , but this recording is of very poor quality - obviously, this CD was not recorded from the original master tapes, but from regular mp3 with a bitrate of 192 kbit / s.

Criticism
The Russian magazine Dark City, setting the release the highest score, indicated the fact that someone who has found a positive response from such albums of the group as Deliverance and Damnation should definitely buy this disc, and for those who are not familiar with the work of the team, DVD can be used as a great opportunity to get acquainted with their musical activity. [1] The magazine noted a very good level of camera work, as well as a perfect light for music and a great picture. As an audio track presented DD 5.1. As the only negative of the release, the magazine noted the long duration of the concert. The magazine itself divides the concert performance into two parts: the first is static, during which songs from the Damnation album are performed; the second is dynamic, during which early material is performed.
