DVD Info[]

The documentary DVD features backstage interviews, fan commentary and live footage.

Franz Nicolay stated in February 2009 that he has not yet seen the documentary, but notes that he "imagine[s] drinking will be involved. It was an exciting time. The live record is taken from the very end of two years of touring behind Boys and Girls in America, and I’m glad we recorded then, because it’s the real peak of the band as a performing unit."
