Camp Cope Live at Sydney Opera House also features the only recorded performance of the 10-minute version of The Opener, an extended cut Giselle Au-hien Nguyen noted for The Guardian gave "additional insights into the troubling, insidious signs and a glimpse into the heartbroken, hurt young woman she [Georgia Maq] was... from frail hurt to rage, fury and self-affirmation, Mag transformed to take the power back. It was a beautiful and symbolic way for the song, and the band, to farewell the world- something that started as one woman's way to heal and became a collective cry for something better.

On the release of Camp Cope Live at Sydney Opera House, the now Los Angeles-based Georgia Mag who is on the cusp of releasing her new solo EP God's Favourite (Sept 4) shares, "This release is special because it's a record of the very last time we were in a room together. Kelly and Thomo changed me and the three of us will always be Camp Cope." Kelly-Dawn Hellmrich, who recently announced her debut book has been acquired by Penguin Random House, adds, "There was a time they said we'd ruined our careers for being too loud, too opinionated. Then we sold out the Concert Hall at the Sydney Opera House, with a room full of people who'd probably been told they were too much of something. Too loud, too weird, too soft, too angry, too emotional, too queer, too honest. I'm so grateful this album exists as a forever record of the night we all loudly filled one of the greatest rooms in the country with everything they had wanted to silence."
