I Am... World Tour is a live DVD/CD concert film and live album by American R&B recording artist Beyoncé. Beyoncé produced, directed, and edited the concert film for her own production company Parkwood Pictures. The DVD was filmed in the presence of more than a million fans during her worldwide I Am... World Tour, running from March 2009 through February 2010, in support of her third studio album, I Am... Sasha Fierce (2008). The DVD release is a combination of performances from the tour, including guest appearances from Jay-Z and Kanye West, as well as backstage moments. Beyoncé explained that the idea of filming her worldwide performances came when she realized that she was feeling lonely. She edited the DVD for nine months and it serves as her directorial debut.
The DVD was released in three separate editions; standard, deluxe and Blu-ray. In the United States, the standard edition was only made available exclusively at Wal-Mart on November 26, 2010. The deluxe edition was released in several countries around the world on the same date. The Blu-ray edition was released from December 3, 2010 in a list of selected countries only. She promoted it by appearing on several shows, including ABC's Nightline and by holding a screening of her DVD in New York, in presence of several fans and artists on November 21, 2010. Prior to the release, numerous trailers were posted on Beyoncé's official website. I Am... World Tour premiered exclusively on ABC on November 25, 2010 as a 90-minute Thanksgiving special.
