Notes & Personnel Info |  | BULLET IN A BIBLE, released during the third wave punk luminaries' revival with AMERICAN IDIOT, captures the fire of Green Day on a series of live dates in mid-2005. | | CD contains bonus DVD. | | Despite the fact that they lifted nearly all their musical moves wholesale from 1970s and '80s punk-pop bands like the Undertones, the Descendents, and the Buzzcocks, Green Day proved a surprisingly vital and relevant force on the rock scene of the '90s and 2000s. The band's politically-pointed 2004 rock opera AMERICAN IDIOT showed the band to be more ambitious than previously thought, and this 2005 live album and DVD bear witness to a band rocking out at their commercial and creative peak. | | Despite the fact that they lifted nearly all of their musical moves wholesale from 1970s and '80s punk-pop bands like the Undertones, the Descendents, and the Buzzcocks, Green Day proved to be a surprisingly vital and relevant force on the rock scene of the '90s and 2000s.

Both the DVD and the CD--which include key selections from AMERICAN IDIOT and the band's breakthrough DOOKIE, among others--underscore not only what a tight, professional unit the trio has become, but the rabid enthusiasm of their fanbase (the audience sings along with practically every lyric). BULLET IN A BIBLE may be the sound of punk gone mainstream, but it's still plenty of fun. | | DVD Features: | | DVD content is in the Ntsc format, Region Code 2. |
