The DVD cover features West Mitten Butte, photographed from the visitor centre at the Navajo Tribal Park located at Monument Valley, Arizona, during sunset. Monument Valley has been the location for many Western films. Led Zeppelin released the triple live album 'How the West Was Won' at the same time as the 'DVD'.
A total of 132 cans of film, two sets of two-inch video tape, and a collection of archival television footage were used for the project.
The audio of the Credits menu on the two DVDs is a portion of the Royal Albert Hall version of Heartbreaker, which was left off due to missing video tapes.
