[edit] Information

Along with the Vancouver concert from the 2005 Taste of Chaos tour, the package updates the band's history since 2003's Maybe Memories with footage about 2004's In Love and Death, the world tour, and the making of the new album Lies for the Liars as well as music videos. In addition, the band invited fans to submit questions and then videotaped those selected. The band also provides a glimpse into the new album by giving you a taste of "Pretty Handsome Awkward".^[2][3]

[edit] The year long delay

The Used were supposed to release a live CD/DVD in early 2006, but one of the people in charge of filming mysteriously disappeared with much of the footage that was earmarked to be part of the DVD.

“No one has seen him since,” bassist Jeph Howard said.

The band was forced to come up with more footage. But in the long run Howard said it all turned out for the best. The result was Berth.

“I’m glad we waited. It’s better than our first DVD” Howard said “Everything has been going like that lately. It’s been more than good.”^[4]
