The performance was the first time in the band's history that they had played the entire Days of Future Passed album live,[3] and is particularly notable for the inclusion of songs written by Mike Pinder, whose material has seldom been included in the band's live sets since his 1978 departure. Justin Hayward and John Lodge, respectively, sing lead on two songs that were originally sung by Pinder ("Dawn is a Feeling" and "The Sunset"). On songs written by Ray Thomas (who had departed the band in 2002), Hayward sings the lead on "Another Morning" and "Twilight Time", with Lodge sharing the lead with Hayward on the former. Noted British actor Jeremy Irons takes over Pinder's narration for the bookend poems "Morning Glory" and "Late Lament". The performance alters the album's sequence slightly, placing "Late Lament" before "Nights in White Satin".
