One hundred and thirty-thousand fans can't be wrong. Such is Green Day's Bible: A butchered, though not unimportant, record of something huge. At a crucial turning point in the existence of the human race, a flawed radio transmission permanently changed history's transcription of the astronaut's eternal words. Neil Armstrong's lunar broadcast comes to mind. With this thrill comes the disappointment felt by the listener soberly aware of what Bullet In A Bible - and, in turn, he or she - is missing. Delivered in rapid-fire with punky aplomb, these songs qualify as nothing short of truly great music - and from the sing-along spirit of the enraptured crowd to the pyrotechnic climax of "Hitchin' A Ride," both the concert and the resultant Bible were destined to thrill die-hard and newcomer in equal measure. The trio-turned-septet (Billie Joe Armstrong, Mike Dirnt, and Tr¿ Cool are joined by Jason White, Mike Pelino, Jason Freese, and Ronnie Blake) arrived with a treasure trove of their best material. When the stakes were at their apex, Green Day delivered. The affair itself was monumental: As both engagements' audiences broke the 65,000-body mark, they became the biggest one-act punk concerts in history. The show in question is Green Day's two-gig summer excursion to Milton-Keynes, England - ostensibly the "best show" of the punk rockers' American Idiot tour and, indeed, their entire career. While Bible's exemplary mixing job disguises these omissions to the casual listener, the true Green Day fan quite rightly will feel cheated. This is not a space issue at a running time of 65 minutes, the disc could have included all this and more. And don't even bother trying to find "Knowledge," "She," "Jaded," or "Maria." The result is less a concert album than a collection of tracks, performed live, cut to pieces, and strung together. The unique, unpredictable extensions which so often turned 3-minute songs into 9-minute suites? Unceremoniously excised.
Billie Joe's intercessional banter? Gone. Might as well get the bad news out of the way: Bible's CD component is a heavily truncated version of the DVD… which itself was a heavily truncated version of the concert. To reiterate, that's 14 out of 15 (previously-unreleased cover "Shout" is, inexplicably, missing in action). Bible brings a downpour to the drought by offering 14 of the DVD's 15 songs in crisp, clear stereo. Until now, North American Green Day fans have had to content themselves with overpriced, underlong import EPs such as Foot In Mouth and Bowling Bowling Bowling Parking Parking to get their live performance fixes. Now, 14 months later, the Power Chords That Be have given us the live counterpoint to Green Day's Grammy Award-winning punk rock opera, and expectations have never been higher. It seems like only yesterday we at IGN caught hell for exposing the reality of American Idiot's perfection.
