The performance was previously shown on NBC, however, it differs from the TV special, as it only includes performances of the songs from Ghost Stories, while the special featured only six songs from the album, with the other three being replaced by the band's previous hits "Clocks", "Viva la Vida" and "Paradise".[3][4]
It was filmed by director Paul Dugdale in a custom-built amphitheatre at Sony Studios, Los Angeles, according to the band's official website. The ground-breaking production sets the band's performance against 360-degree and overhead imagery.[5] The live recording of the album received a Best Music Film nomination at the 57th Annual Grammy Awards.[6]
"Always in My Head", "Midnight" and "A Sky Full of Stars" were recorded on 1–2 July 2014 at the Royal Albert Hall, London. "Magic" and "True Love" were recorded on 19 June 2014 at Enmore Theatre, Sydney. "Ink" was recorded on 28 May 2014 at Paris Casino, Paris.
