Filmed at the sold-out Moore Theater in Seattle, WA, Tenacious D performs against a production design theme plucked from the 2006 film "Tenacious D in The Pick of Destiny." The live set roughly follows the plot of the film, where Gass and Black perform some songs, break up, reunite, go to hell, battle the devil, and emerge victorious.
