The odd part in the recording would be putting it up so soon as it usually takes a while for fans to get a live album from their favorite artists as the musicians usually combined the CD with the DVD version. However, considering that Slash did had a success with his Manchester Live shows would already had an idea of what he can expect with the album's marketing.
