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. another reason for the concert was that christensen's contract would be running out half a year later, meaning they were looking for something nice to do before negotiations started. the abbey road studios were chosen was because of christensen's intense love for the beatles, and in part was to make up for the disappointment christensen experienced recording rotator there in 1995–96, this time making it a proper homage to the beatles, of whom christensen has always been a big fan.
