The live album includes fan-favorite hits as well as deeper cuts, all of which have been reworked for the live performance. Standout moments include an orchestral rendition of "Physical" and a heart-wrenching performance of "Love Again," where the string section takes center stage. The album also features a medley of holiday songs, offering a festive touch to the release.
