''. of his 2003 album ''Honeyburst''. Additionally, the band had a really good year and was on a roll, so Christensen was happy to have it documented. Christensen explains: "Originally we were just supposed to do a few shows in London to a few representatives of the music business. But instead of playing at some kind of boring club, we decided we would play at Abbey Road. Only later did we decide to record it and release it to DVD." By the time the day of the recording had arrived, Christensen found recording the show outweighed impressing the audience with the possibility of being promoted worldwide, although the latter would be nice. Christensen's record label wanted to use the concert to showcase ''Honeyburst'' to several of their executives across Europe, although it is not known whether there were any present.Andersen, Christian Voldborg (25 October 2014)
