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.

Don't listen to the Hype. It's awful
A lot of fun.
It's funny, it's tense, it features two great performances from two actors and the director expertly creates a web of odd tension where you actually don't know what is happening for the majority of the run time.
It’s fine. It's literally the definition of a fine movie. You’ve seen it before, you know every beat and outcome before the characters even do. Only question is how much escapism you’re looking for.
Green Day is a punk rock band (I love more the cinema but i know very much of music cause I'm an actor, filmmaker and musician of the streets and Green Day are the best band on the punk genre) this amazing band born on the 85' and on the 91' comes whit a punk album call ''1.039/Smoothed Out Slappy Hours'' whit a combination of the guitars and voices of Billie Joe and the bass of Mike Dirnt until the drums on ''1.039/Smoothed out Slappy Hours'' are by another drummer (that as an apprentice of Mr. Tre' Cool) that isn't sound like now is good later on the 92' comes whit ''Kerplunk!'' whit Tre on the drums and whit a sound better than the first that makes that Warner is interesting on this great band and comes whit the resurrection of the punk music on the album ''Dookie'' an amazing punk sound and won a Grammy for Best Alternative Album, later comes whit ''Insomniac'' an album of punk rock that is more concerted on the sound and no on the lyrics later comes whit a... strange album of (in my opinion) ska-punk for including another's musicians that is not so good call ''Nimrod'' later comes whit an album of punk, punk rock and ska-punk call ''Warning'' that is so good likes is bad later comes the recompilations (''International Superhits!'' and ''Sheninigans'') but whens Billie Joe on the 2003 is arrested is so f*cking angry whit the politic of U.S.A. whit ''American Idiot'' and is won on the Grammys for Best Rock Album and Best Disc, this album of punk rock and powerpop is a ''f*ck you'' for all the motherf*ckers politics and finality this album (also nominated on the Grammys) ''bullet In A Bible'' that is the great recompilation of the best of one of the best bands of all times and best on the genre this is the recompilation of something that is part of the humanity that is that this album a concert of one part of the humanity
I have been a massive Green Day fan since summer 2005, and since then my love for Billie, Mike and Tre has increased dramatically! After watching Green Day perform at Milton Keynes, I realise one of my main ambitions in life is to one day see my idols rock the world, to experience the overwhelming excitement, that only Green Day can promote. For me it's debatable if anyone can come close to Green Day's standard of performing live. The way Billie interacts with the audience is simply incredible, as the show progresses he builds everyone up until they burst into euphoric ecstasy. They perform every blockbuster hit to a new level and standard not seen before. Some people stereotype Green Day and underestimate them for promoting the Punk Image, but Green Day also promote people to stick up for themselves, and to not conform to rules and regulations, especially from any government, or any other corrupt higher power. The interviews with the band are also fascinating, as it gives you a deep insight to the preparation of the show and backstage area. Green Day have forever transcended the music scene, they have raised the barrier of limitations, and have shown the sky is the limit. Green Day Forever Rule!!
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!!
