The album was released on CD, DVD and Blu-ray formats, and fans could acquire signed copies at a sign session promoted by the band at Livraria Cultura, in São Paulo.[3] The DVD images are all in black & white, with some of the footage taken among the crowd,[2] and with little technical apparel.[1] The DVD and CD together sold 25,000 copies, as of March 2013.[4] In 2013, with this album, Titãs was nominated for a Prêmio da Música Brasileira Award, in the category Best Pop/Rock/Reggae/Hip hop/Funk Group.[5]
The band started to perform the album live after an invitation from cultural center Sesc Belemzinho, in São Paulo, for them to take part in the Projeto Álbum (Project Album), which aims to revisit albums considered to be anthological. They initially had no intention of revisiting the album - something they considered to be "a gringo fashion" - but since the seven shows they did sold out real quick, they saw a potential in recording it. Also, the band says it helped them revisiting their own DNA, which would later influence their then-forthcoming studio album Nheengatu.[1]
Reception
Thales de Menezes, from Folha de S.Paulo, rated the album as "great" and considered Cabeça Dinossauro's tour as the best part of the band's 30-year celebration.[2]
