By clicking the moth logo within the 'Extras' menu, you can access the four videos that featured during AFI's 'Charlotte Mystery' hunt. Each video contains a different member of AFI. This is an Easter egg.

[edit] Controversy

Whilst the DVD's packaging and promotional material states that I Heard a Voice was filmed at the Long Beach Arena, fans within the AFI forum community have put forward claims that the DVD also contains footage from another recorded performance.^[1] They point out continuity errors within the footage that depict the band's clothing changing throughout the show. Certain fans have painstakingly highlighted many such errors throughout the DVD. ^[2]

[edit] Trivia

The concert was shot in HD with more than 23 cameras.
The song "A Single Second" features a guest performance by Nick 13 of the band Tiger Army. Nick 13 sang harmonic vocals, as he did when the song was originally recorded for the 1997 release Shut Your Mouth and Open Your Eyes.
The title of this DVD is lifted from a line of poetry in the decemberunderground CD booklet. Underneath the song 37mm, it says: "The power went out. I turned on the radio. The power went out. I turned on the radio. The power went out. I turned on the radio....I heard a voice." The moth on the case is also from the decemberunderground booklet.
