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.

Wonderful Movie
Memorable, crazy movie
For all the hype it got I was expecting a lot more!
everything you have heard about this movie is true.
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
In my opinion in 'Bullet' they get a little addicted to massive hysteria, in excess: in almost every song from the show Billie Joe makes the audience shout different kind of chants, showing how much he controls his fans.Without that, they could have added at least 5 more songs to the DVD, and maybe some from their earlier records. Their catalogue from the pre-Dookie era (e.g. 'Going to Passalacqua'!) is completely absent...But anyway, I'm a huge fan of Green Day too, they changed my life from the first minute I listened to 'Dookie', and 'Bullet...' is a must-see for every fan.
To me this... documentary was one of the best i've ever seen about Green Day!!!!! The footage of the concerts was awesome. I didn't realize that Green Day was this loved until I saw this documentary. When they played Wake Me Up When September Ends and Billie Joe's voice was breaking up because of emotions, it almost brought tears to my eyes.I liked Green Day's choices for songs to play. Actually I was surprised that they played Brain Stew. But I would be very satisfied with this documentary even if Green Day didn't play my favorite songs because I like almost every song by them anyways. So to make a long story short, this documentary was very well made and I enjoyed every second of it.10/10
I am a huge Green Day fan. That's why when I heard this DVD was coming out I couldn't wait for November 15. Luckily, I found out that the DVD was going to be shown for a "pre showing" on November 1. I went out and got tickets the day they went on sale and got to the theater two hours early to make sure I would get a great seat. This DVD was the closest I could feel to being at a real concert. And I have been to one so I have something to compare it to. The best part was, not only the concert but, in between songs the band members were able to talk about their success and other things. I'm not sure if that means a "spoiler" so that's why I checked the box. Anyways, I give this a 10 out of 10. It really made me feel like I was there and gave me the need to buy the DVD right away.
