All of the effects and work behind "Alive" were detailed in a retrospective MTV article in August 2002. While it did not win any, "Alive" was one of the most nominated videos at the 2002 MTV Video Music Awards ceremony. However, it did win two other awards in addition to the five VMA nominations. The video was also No. 2 on TVU's 50 Best Videos of All Time list. When the song became the most requested video on "TRL" in September 2001, rather than simply having the video aired, P.O.D. performed a live, hour-long set at Battery Park. This was despite Sandoval battling a severe cold. The song was performed on "The Tonight Show with Jay Leno" on October 5, 2001. It was originally planned for the prior month but rescheduled due to the September 11 attacks. Not including encores, "Alive" typically ends P.O.D.'s concert setlist. First edition  Second edition
