Unlike the other concerts in the tour, Boyz II Men made a guest appearance to perform "One Sweet Day".

On December 1, 2008, The Adventures of Mimi was re-released as a four-disc box set, E=MC² Adventure Box, also containing the album E=MC². The box set also includes a double-sided poster with one tour photo and one album photo, and a special logo key ring.
