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.

Trivia, insights & behind the scenes
Samuel Bayer also directed the 'American Idiot' music video and the 2010 Nightmare on Elm Street remake — from punk revolution to Freddy Krueger, same eye for spectacle.
This show happened mere months after American Idiot won the Grammy for Best Rock Album — the film captures Green Day at their absolute commercial peak, selling anti-consumerism to 130,000 paying customers.
