Bowling For Soup, the loveable quartet of Jaret Reddick, Erik Chandler, Chris Burney and Gary Wiseman, have released ten albums, played for fourteen years, toured the world eleventeen times over, and brought smiles to the faces of thousands upon thousands of fans through the years. Finally, after a long, long wait by the fans, Bowling For Soup will make you laugh until you pee your pants a little, all in the comfort of your own home.

The DVD is "Bowling For Soup: Live and Very Attractive" filmed at the Manchester Apollo in Manchester, UK in 2008. I chose to purchase the two-disc DVD for my Concert DVD collection, the first disc being the live show with interviews and shenanigans peppered in throughout, the second disc being the show with band commentary, which is hilarious and worth watching at least once. (I know, I know, Commentary is so BORING, but trust me on this one.)

The Band plays crowd favourites from their previous album all the while discussing important topics with the crowd such as Keg Stands, Poo, Male genitalia, and taking pause for an impromptu "Bowling For Soup photograph opportunity featuring also... a beverage break!" at which point the band hits center left and right stage in a spur of the moment cell-phone camera photoshoot.

The scary part is that the band seems to have hijacked my iTunes playlist titled "BFS Road Trip - Summer 08" and decided that my very favourite songs to sing along with while driving great distances would make a fantastic set list! I'm not even kidding, look:

Actual DVD Playlist:

• My Hometown
• Emily
• Almost
• Suckerpunch
• High School Never Ends
• Belgium
• Ohio
• The Bitch Song
• I'm Gay
• The Last Rock Show
• Punk Rock 101
• When We Die
• Girl All The Bad Guys Want
• 1985
• Encore: Ring of Fire

Okay, so it's not the exact same order as the DVD, and there's one extra song, but it was a little freaky for me... moving on...

The set list is fantastic, the crowd is electric, and Jaret's hair has never looked better. Ending out their set with a encored cover of June Carter and Johnny Cash's "Ring of Fire" (which, if I do say so myself, is now my official favourite Bowling For Soup cover) was almost a bittersweet moment, I wanted them to come back, play another set, pepper in more of my favourite songs so that I could dance about my apartment annoying my neighbors and being happy, but it looks like I'll just have to start the DVD over again.

If you're a Bowling For Soup fan, you will love this DVD (finally!), it's Bowling For Soup just being who they are, no added theatrics for the cameras, just another show, and another chance to goof off as they do so well. For those of you who have never gotten the opportunity to see BFS play live, this DVD is the next best way to experience the show!

Bowling For Soup puts on a ridiculously entertaining show, swinging their guitars around their bodies and tossing picks into the air, catching them on their forehead/mouth, witty banter back and forth and jumping about like excited boys playing their first real gig at the local college campus. But that's what makes a Bowling For Soup show fantastic and so much fun, because they're not too "rockstar" to be goofy, or do something silly to get a smile or a laugh, and they prove time and time again, that they are not above making stupid faces or poo jokes to accomplish that.
