Background
On 12 May 1994 Falco was only once and a concert with 80 - piece orchestra, namely the cathedral square of Wiener Neustadt in front of 10,000 spectators. The background of this event was the celebration of the 800th anniversary of the city survey of Wiener Neustadt.

In 2005, the production of a posthumous Falco CD with orchestral and symphonic elements in the TV documentary Falco was alive! posted by Thomas Rabitsch.
Since the recordings of the concert were of poor quality, the sound tracks of the Symphony Orchestra were re-recorded and re- mixed with the filtered from the recorded voice Falco also planned for the DVD. Also cheers were re-recorded from the audience by Falco fanclub and cut to the recordings. The DVD is thus actually a half - live DVD. (Falco song = Live, music and audience = Studio).
" It was actually a completely insane undertaking, marked by stages victories and defeats, certainly the most complex restoration or reproduction of a live recording that was ever done in our lands. It was used audio and video forensics. "
Also new soundtracks of the orchestra were recorded for the CD, but in contrast to the old DVD studio recordings of the voice of Falco's were here to mixed - the main tracks on the CD are therefore 100 percent Studio reactions of the live tracks. In addition, several bonus tracks added to the CD album. ( 3 of which are posthumous orchestral versions that have not played at the concert. 4 are live tracks from the DVD, since no original Gesangstonspuren the studio albums exist of the songs in question more. ) The singles are as compilations taken The Queen of Eschnapur 2008 (originally from the album Damn we're still alive ) the Commissioner and 2008 ( from the album solitary confinement ) are used.
