## Trivia

* This is the last video to be filmed in full-screen. Because of TV Series 4 being shot/released in widescreen, when songs from this video were put in episodes, they were given a curtain border on the sides, similar to the Wiggle-colors borders later used in Hot Potatoes! The Best of The Wiggles.
* This was The Wiggles' last concert to be released on VHS in Australia.
* In "D.O.R.O.T.H.Y. (My Favorite Dinosaur)", the Moguel Family makes cameos in the audience.
* The Wiggly Telephone makes a cameo in "Greg's News."
* Jeff is the third character that is his favorite instrument is drums. The first was Anthony since he plays it alot. The second was Henry the Octopus.
* The song list order on the back cover is different than the song order in the concert.
* A bonus clip reveals that Ross Wilson (King Mondo) was at one of the concerts during this tour for Eagle Rock.
* Rare footage from concerts in Perth, Adelaide, Wollongong, and Melbourne are shown in a bonus feature on the DVD.
* The US 2007 DVD re-release disc art features promo pictures of Dorothy the Dinosaur and Captain Feathersword from Getting Strong!.
* Songs from this video can be seen in The Wiggles Show! (TV Series).
* This is the first video of the Red Maton Bass Guitar it was played by John O'Grady (It's later used for the Christmas Celebration Tour.)
* This is the first concert video released in the USA. Not only that, it's also the first one released on DVD.
* The US DVD back cover says that it runs 140 mins, despite the running time actually being 77 minutes. This is because it's counting the special features in the running time.
* On the American DVD disc, the copyright date said 2004 when it was released in early 2005. This is because the DVD was made and being prepared for release in late 2004.
* The Overture was only featured in the screening DVD, as in the final version it was cut short and clips of The Wiggles in the Big Red Car and a boat, and the S.S Feathersword were shown while the song was playing.
* The screening DVD only includes the video, it doesn't have bonus features, a DVD menu, or even end credits.
* This is Greg Page's favorite Wiggles concert video.
