Background

RBD with the former president of Brazil, Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva, and his wife Marisa Silva, in April 2007.^[2]

In April 2007, RBD arrived in Brazil to present their second worldwide concert tour, the Tour Celestial. When the group came to Brasília, then president of Brazil, Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva, invited the group to his house, where they shared a barbecue and a friendly game of soccer.^[3] After that, the president invited the group to present themselves on the 48th anniversary of the Brazilian capital, which would take place the following year.^[4]

Concert synopsis and release

In the middle of the celebrations of the 48th anniversary of the Brazilian capital, Brasília, on April 21, 2008, RBD presented themselves in a free concert to almost a million people in the Esplanada dos Ministérios. This was the show with the biggest attendance of RBD's Tour Celestial and also the concert with the highest attendance of the band's entire career. The concert's setlist mostly featured songs from the album Empezar Desde Cero and some of the group's biggest hits from their previous albums.

In comparison to RBD's previous live concert DVD releases, this was the one that took the longest to be released. Almost a year after the concert had been held, Brazil was the first country to get the release, on March 26, 2009. Soon after, it was released in the United States and in Mexico on June 9, 2009. On July 14, 2009, the DVD was released in Spain. The actual concert earned the distinction of being one of the 10 largest international shows ever held in Brazil.
