The Last Tour on Earth is a live album comprising recordings from Marilyn Manson's Mechanical Animals and Rock is Dead tours. On the studio version of The Dope Show, Manson says that drugs "are made in California", but in the live version, he says that "drugs, they say, are made right here in Cleveland", to a roar of crowd approval, suggesting that the song was recorded in Cleveland, Ohio. Lunchbox was recorded in Grand Rapids, Michigan, and I Don't Like the Drugs (But the Drugs Like Me) was recorded in Cedar Rapids, Iowa. "The Last Day on Earth" was recorded in Las Vegas on the Mechanical Animals Tour, and Get Your Gunn was recorded some time during the Rock is Dead Tour.

Rock is Dead is introduced as if Omega and the Mechanical Animals, the alter-egos Manson and his band devised for the Mechanical Animals album and tour, were playing. Some of the tracks, most notably I Don't Like the Drugs (But the Drugs Like Me), are prefaced with spoken diatribes. Since the release of the album, the track "The Last Day on Earth" has become more popular than its original release on the album Mechanical Animals.

The album includes one new studio track, Astonishing Panorama of the Endtimes.
