The band on stage was Alex Burke, Shahzad Ismaily, Janie Cowen, Buck Meek and Joshua Crumbly. However, it is reported that these young musicians only mimed and the tracks were actually recorded in a Los Angeles Studio in May 2021 with Bob's regular band. The location of the show is given as the "Bon Bon Club, Marseilles, France", but this is entirely fictional!
