 To celebrate the album 's release , the band performed the record in its entirety in front of a live audience at New York 's historic Apollo Theater and broadcast the concert simultaneously across many radio stations . This performance marked the first performance by a rock band since Buddy Holly in the late 1950s . This special event featured the New York Police Department marching drum and bagpipe band conducted by Richard Gibbs as well as a group of back @-@ up singers to enhance the more melodic choruses Davis used on the album . A snippet of " Falling Away from Me " was featured on RealVideo with a brief interpretive dance by bassist Reginald Arvizu , and also featured on their official website as an MP3 file , although its release was against the advice of its attorneys and corporate establishment . The album was also promoted by the band 's highly successful Sick and Twisted Tour .
