The CD contains a live performance recorded in Holland in March 1990, and a DVD of all professionally shot footage of the tour. The box set was pressed in a limited edition of 1,500.

The 2 disc album released with the box set contains the unedited Holland 1990 concert used to create part of their Cube-E album. The same show was also included on the 2020 Cube-E Box-Set, spread across three discs with related bonus tracks.

After this performance The Residents wouldn't return to Holland until nine years later, when they brought their Wormwood tour there.

## DVD

### Running time

1:01:28

The DVD contains all professional footage filmed of Cube-E throughout the two years it toured. Despite being a commercially successful and highly visual-based show, only excerpts from it were filmed at a time. The DVD opens with a 10-minute extract from the play filmed for the NBC program' Night Music' in 1990. The next part is an early one-off performance of 'Buckaroo Blues' filmed for German television in March 1989 that lasts 24 minutes. This performance predates the touring version of Cube-E by six months and represents an early incomplete version of the show based on their recent album, Buckaroo Blues. The following 52 minutes are dedicated to two partly filmed rehearsals from 1989, one in preparation for the show's second leg in December and the latter in preparation for a one-off performance at The Lincoln Center in July.

The remainder of the show is a short re-edited version of the Night Music performances and the July '89 performances, created for the video retrospective Twenty Twisted Questions. The film ends with a short interview with Hardy Fox at the show's premiere.
