Live at Budokan

The DVD's main feature is a concert recorded on Walker's "Bonez Tour" supporting Avril Lavigne at Nippon Budokan in Tokyo, Japan on March 15 2005.ref|bonez Each song is followed by a documentary interlude of self-shot material by Walker, filmed on the streets of Tokyo and in the venue's backstage area. Just before "I Want You to Want Me" (a Cheap Trick cover version of a song off their 1978 album "At Budokan"), there are two rather inaudible bootleg clips of two covers played during the tour of Elvis Costello's "Radio Radio" and Blur's "Song 2".
