Green Day: Bullet in a Bible (2005)
Bullet in a Bible documents one of the two biggest shows that Green Day have performed in their career. They played in front of a crowd of over 130,000 people at the Milton Keynes National Bowl in United Kingdom on June 18–19, 2005. The band was supported by Jimmy Eat World, Taking Back Sunday, and Hard-Fi during their American Idiot world tour. Fourteen of the twenty songs performed at these shows were included on the disc; missing out "Jaded", "Knowledge", "She", "Maria", "Homecoming" and "We Are The Champions". Bullet in a Bible was released as a double-LP set on November 10, 2009, as part of the band's 2009 vinyl re-release campaign.

I was a little disappointed. I didn't like some of the camera angles. Some either took to much attention of what they were saying and other angles focused it to much on Billie Joe. It was good, the performance. But some things were just off. The DVD seemed a little rushed how it would just skip from talking to the concert. Sam Bayer is a good director but I think he tried to hard on this DVD, and was a little exaggerated. It was a little odd as in when Billie Joe talked it focused mainly on his mouth. I think they should have centered the cameras on Mike Dirnt and Tre Cool since you didn't see them as much. SincerelyMichelle
The last comment about this live film kind of over shot it. This isn't specifically a momentous green day show as far as content. The only amazing out of the ordinary thing is how any people it's played to. This set is what they play just about every time out minus when I come around, jaded, she, and they cut out the portion when Billie pulls three fans from the crowd to play knowledge. It's a good surface live DVD and a good surface documentary. Perhaps they make a full on concert DVD next time and a full on documentary. Though the split in it's approach takes away from what it could be it's still good, but it's not insanely entertaining for anyone who has ever seen the band play live, on this tour at least.
I went to this concert on the first date (18th June), and that was probably one of the, no, THE best event I've ever been to. So imagine my excitement when I got this DVD/CD in the post this morning. Now imagine my disappointment when I watched it and found it a badly-directed, chopped-up affair devoid of anything that made it all great in the first place. I'm not sure how or why, but this went wrong somewhere. The DVD features footage from both dates, making it inconsistent, and there's an interview in between each song. Very nice, but couldn't we have had them separately or something? The camera angles are generally poorly chosen, and the promised audience interviews, while funny, are very short. These might seem like minor gripes, but they all add up. If you're considering buying this DVD hoping to relive fond memories of the concert, go ahead. Just don't expect too much from it like I did.
This show is amazing!!! Bullet in a bible is the first ever official DVD to be distributed by Green Day. Green Day puts on a rock production filled with pyrotechnics, unbelievable energy, and nonstop action that would surprise even the most loyal green day fan. The concert takes place at Milton Keynes bowl in the U.K. in front of 65,000 fans, where only few other rock bands like The Rolling Stones and U2 have had sold out shows. The DVD features over 100 minutes of exclusive performance, behind-the-scenes footage, and candid interviews with each band member. It is definitely something every Green Day or Punk Rock fan needs to watch!!
