Acoustica was recorded during three concerts, at Convento do Beato, Lisbon, Portugal. It was a most unusual set for the band, as Klaus Meine comments on the DVD. The band was backed up by a bunch of extra musicians like backing vocalists, percussionist, extra guitarist and Christian Kolonovits (who had worked with the band as conductor and arranger on the Moment of Glory album) on keyboards. He also collaborated on rearranging the songs for the acoustic set. Four new songs were performed: "Life Is Too Short", "When Love Kills Love", "Back To You" and "I Wanted To Cry". All the new songs were featured on the DVD, while "Back To You" was not included on the CD. Another unusual thing that can be observed on Acoustica are the performances of cover versions of famous songs like The Cars' "Drive", Kansas' "Dust In The Wind" and the Queen hit "Love Of My Life".
The album went gold in Brazil, and the DVD went platinum.
