The performance was previously shown on NBC, however, it differs from the TV special, as it only includes performances of the songs from Ghost Stories, while the special featured only six songs from the album, with the other three being replaced by the band's previous hits "Clocks", "Viva la Vida" and "Paradise".{{cite magazine|url=https://www.rollingstone.com/music/news/coldplay-debut-ghost-stories-on-a-soundstage-at-intimate-l-a-show-20140322|title=Coldplay Debut 'Ghost Stories' on a Movie Soundstage at Intimate L.A.

It was filmed by director Paul Dugdale in a custom-built amphitheatre at Sony Studios, Los Angeles, according to the band's official website. The ground-breaking production sets the band's performance against 360-degree and overhead imagery.{{cite web|url=http://coldplay.fanfire.com/cgi-bin/WebObjects/Store.woa/wa/product?sourceCode=COLWEBUKWGBP&sku=COL62853|title=Coldplay Official Store - Ghost Stories Live 2014 (CD & DVD)|author=SNI|work=Coldplay Official Store|date=9 July 2023|access-date=22 July 2015|archive-date=22 July 2015|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20150722180709/http://coldplay.fanfire.com/cgi-bin/WebObjects/Store.woa/wa/product?sourceCode=COLWEBUKWGBP&sku=COL62853|url-status=dead}} The live recording of the album received a Best Music Film nomination at the 57th Annual Grammy Awards.{{Cite web|date=2020-11-23|title=Coldplay|url=https://www.grammy.com/grammys/artists/coldplay/10952|access-date=2020-11-29|website=GRAMMY.com|language=en}}
