Director of photography Rolf Dekens already had meet and greet tickets for the concert because he is a big fan of Hans Zimmer. When later it turned out he would be working on the concert closely together with Zimmer, he still used his meet and greet ticket to make a picture together after the show. Zimmer offered to reimburse him but he didn't take the offer.
The concert was filmed in Prague, Czech Republic. Hans Zimmer walking towards the stage was filmed in Rotterdam, The Netherlands.
Hans Zimmer revealed that it was Johnny Marr who convinced him to leave the studio and finally hit the road. The Smiths' guitarist collaborated with Zimmer on the scores for Inception (2010) and The Amazing Spider-Man 2 (2014).
