## Plot

The opening credits list the Wiggles by name, and then the mascots and the dancers.

The Wiggles are in the Big Red Car outside the arena. Greg, Murray, and Anthony introduce themselves, but notice Jeff is asleep. After waking him up, they drive into the backstage area of the arena.

* Song #1: Toot Toot, Chugga Chugga, Big Red Car - at the start of the song, the Wiggly Dancers run onto the stage with coloured flags. The Wiggles enter the stage on Murray's verse.

The Wiggles greet the audience. Greg says that they enjoy riding in the Big Red Car, but they enjoy walking because you never know what you might find.

* Song #2: Look Both Ways

The dancers leave. Anthony tells everyone that today all about having a good time. If they feel like singing, they can sing as loud as they like. If they feel like dancing, they can dance as fast as they like. He then tells the audience to keep an eye on Jeff and tell them if he falls asleep because they need him for the show. Jeff says "Beauty, Mate!"

* Song #3: Rock-A-Bye Your Bear

Jeff falls asleep. Greg asks everyone to wake him up. 1, 2, 3. Wake up, Jeff! Jeff says now that he's awake, he has a question that the audience can answer as loud as they like. After jumping up and down two times saying "Would you like to meet?" he says "Would you like to meet Dorothy the Dinosaur?" The audience yells "YES!" Greg asks the same questions in the same way but he asks if they want to meet Wags the Dog. Murray asks if they want to meet Captain Feathersword. When it's Anthony's turn he's so excited he leaves the stage, does a bunch of flips and cartwheels onto the stage and back, and returns. He asks if they want to meet Henry the Octopus. The Wiggles explain how to do the Lights, Camera, Action dance.

* Song #4: Lights, Camera, Action, Wiggles! - Wiggly mascots enter the show. Dorothy enters first, followed by Captain Feathersword and Henry and Wags.

* Song #5: Move Your Arms Like Henry

Henry leaves. Jeff introduces the next song.

* Song #6: Can You (Point Your Fingers And Do The Twist?)

Murray invites everyone to dance the ballet with Dorothy and friends.

* Song #7: Music Box Dancer - Jeff plays the keyboard.

Jeff comes out and says how great the dancers were but then he falls asleep! The Wiggles plan on waking Jeff up but want him to do a bunch of stunts when he does. Jeff starts chuckling, and The Wiggles say he's sleep-laughing. Greg tells everybody to wake him up again. 1, 2, 3. Wake up, Jeff! Jeff jumps around saying Hoop-dee-doo! and asks the audience if they want to dance with him. Well, pokey-pokey-pokey, let's dance. And Jeff runs to the top balcony of the audience.

* Song #8: Hoop Dee Doo

After the song, Anthony notes that Jeff has fallen asleep in the audience. After he gets woken up, he does the monkey dance.

* Song #9: The Monkey Dance

Greg announces the next song is a folk song all the way from the Caribbean. One of the Wiggly Dancers, Lucy, is dressed in brown clothes and when she comes through the Wiggly door, they should wave to her because she looks fantastic. As the music starts, Lucy enters the stage.

* Song #10: Brown Girl In The Ring

Greg remarks how all the singing and dancing is making him hungry. It's time to sing about their favourite food; healthy and yummy yummy.

* Song #11: Fruit Salad

Murray introduces Captain Feathersword. Everyone's waving to the captain. Anthony asks Captain to take a bow but Captain loses his hat. As Anthony gives the hat to Captain, he tosses his sword, and this exchange goes on several times. Anthony tells Captain to take three steps back and tosses the sword to Captain but it lands on his head. Captain loses his hat once more. Greg brings Captain a hat with a bunch of flags. Anthony tells everyone to put on their sailor hats and cheer for their favourite flag in the next song.

* Song #12: Sailing Around the World - about 2/3 into the song, Uncle Sam shows up with the USA flag and everyone cheers.

Murray introduces the next song and Dorothy arrives while dancing the hula.

* Song #13: Wiggle Bay

Anthony teaches everyone how to get ready to swim like a fish and look out for Ben-Fish!

* Song #14: Swim Like A Fish - during the song, bubbles are blown out on stage.

The dancers set up two trampolines and a large mat for the next song.

* Song #15: Mop Mop - the dancers start doing flips and jump from the mini-tramps onto the mat. Captain wants to try a flip but he flops twice. Then he gets it right on the third try.

Jeff talks about running up and rolling down the sandhills and dancing in the sand. He runs up the stage, but while running back, falls over.

* Song #16: Dancing In The Sand

Greg introduces the next dance which is from Greece and teaches everyone to say "Opa" when Captain holds up a sign.

* Song #17: Agapame Tin Athena (We Love Athens) - with Anthony as one of the dancers and the music goes faster too.

Murray introduces the next song with Wags the Dog.

* Song #18: Bow Wow Wow

Murray points out that some people have brought bones of Wags. He tells everyone that the Wiggly Dancers will collect them. It's time for Music with Murray. Murray has everyone play air guitar.

* Song #19: Play Your Guitar With Murray - Anthony tries to put up the Murray balloon but it keeps falling on him until the very end of the song.

Professor Singalottasonga joins the Wiggles and dancers for a hometown favourite as everyone sways back and forth.

* Song #20: Sydney Barcarolle

He also tries to read some of the signs and roses from the audience. One of the kids named Laila presents a bouquet to Dorothy and she thanks her.

* Song #21: Dorothy (Would You Like To Dance?)

Murray reintroduces Captain Feathersword and his favourite song, Quack Quack. Anthony pushes some of Captain's magic buttons to sing Quack Quack in different ways. At the end of the segment, confetti blows into the audience out of Captain's Feathersword.

* Song #22: Captain Feathersword Fell Asleep on His Pirate Ship (Quack Quack)

Murray introduces the next song.

* Song #23: Hot Potato - Dorothy, Wags, and Henry come out to dance to this one.

Anthony reads a bunch of the signs from the audience and thanks to everyone for coming. They want everyone to stand up and dance with the kids to the big finale.

## Trivia

* The video was originally planned to be released in Australia in 2007, as seen on the Happy 15th Birthday! DVD.
* This was released in Canada under the name of "Wiggledancing! Live In Concert" (not to be confused with the video with Sam). This only affected the cover, the main menu kept the "Live In The USA" subtitle, while the video itself never features a subtitle anyway. The Warner Home Video re-release in Canada kept the "Live in the USA" subtitle on the cover.
* Alex Keller makes a cameo in Look Both Ways.
* The video runs at 60 frames per second.
* This was the last concert video with Greg before his first retirement. The last concert video with Greg (and Murray and Jeff for that matter) is Celebration!.
* This concert features many songs from Wiggle Bay and Sailing Around the World (which the tour was named after) that had never been performed in concert before or since.
* In Toot Toot, Chugga Chugga, Big Red Car, Murray plays Anthony's blue acoustic guitar instead of his usual red guitar.
* In a scene featuring Dorothy, Zoe Velez does the voice-over.
* This is the second video to be exclusive to North America, the first was Wiggly Play Time which was a compilation of 3 episodes of TV Series 2.
* This is the last video to have the 2001-2006 HIT Entertainment logo.
* This is the last DVD to feature a bonus Lights, Camera, Action, Wiggles! episode and the only one to feature a complete 22-minute version.
* Digital platforms such as Amazon and iTunes seemingly had this video available at the time Warner Home Video and later NCircle Entertainment had distribution rights in the United States and Canada, but in fact, it was the Australian video Wiggledancing! Live In Concert using this video's title and artwork. Exactly why this was the case is unknown, but presumably, Warner had the two videos confused when they first made it available.
* This video is yet to be uploaded on YouTube as part of Classic Wiggles.
* The DVD was pressed on June 23, 2006, a little more than a month before release.

### Goofs

* Murray and Jeff's names appear in the song credits of Rock-A-Bye Your Bear.
