This concert was professionally recorded and is available on the Iconologia CD and Christian Death Live video. The support bands were Astrovamps and Cradle of Thorns. The concert almost never went ahead at all after Rozz was arrested the previous evening for attempting to buy illegal narcotics. It was only the intervention of the record company in posting bail that allowed Rozz to be released in time to perform what would prove to be his last ever Christian Death concert.
