i would have given this a 5 star review, but this is censored. all the foul language is edited out. but its still a great dvd set.

I was unable to watch this show while it was airing on TV, so I was very excited to hear that it was coming out on DVD. It's great. You certainly don't need to be a NOFX fan, or even a fan of punk music, to enjoy it. I'm recommending it to friends of mine I'm sure would hate NOFX. It has funny moments (the fans showing Smelly no love), touching moments (Fat Mike missing his daughter's birthday), tense moments (an anti-religion band in religion-heavy territory), and moments where you just have to admire the band's ambition and what they're trying to accomplish on this tour. And they're doing it totally wasted! The footage is honest, NOFX are an open book. I thouroughly enjoyed watching it, and I haven't even made it to the bonus disc yet.

I bought this DVD set for a gift in colombia and when it arrived there was only 1 disc instead of 2. Now I can't return it to amazon. I've been robbed.

Backstage Passport is the funniest band DVD ever! Fan of the band for years, but now I'm also fan of their manager and whole crew! Sick!

This is an excellent look at the more personal side of the band and how they can surprise you in some situations. They make you wish you were with them!

If your a fan of NOFX or a fan of punk rock I recommend checking this out. NOFX may not be the most talented band in the world but they are definitely having the most fun! and this video proves that's the sole reason they keep going after all these years. They travel the world and play some shows where a lot of punk bands have never been or dreamed of going, and get ripped off by shady promoters at almost every stop. These DVDs give you an all access look at how a punk band operates and executes a tour of this scale and nothing is covered up or edited out. You'll see them get wasted and make fools of themselves, do weird green powdered drugs, show up late to shows, and tons of other punk rock debauchery. You will also get a little more insight on the band as people, and there feelings and hardships dealing with life on the road, missing family members and birthday's etc. I have been a fan of NOFX since I was 13 and skateboarding in gutters. 13 years later I'm still listening to, and loving these guys. Can't recommend it enough. Order yourself a copy now!

NOFX or specifically Fat Mike always comes up with great ideas putting up records, DVDs or compilations - whether it's the blistering Surfer and F*ck the Kids 7", the insane 30 second songs from 101 punk bands, the 18-minute epic "the decline" or the genre uniting BUSH CDs. You would mostly expect another no nonsense genius of some form from new records they release. Now all of that jovial wit that Mike and Co. have are all validated in this sikk 14-month world tour squeezed in two DVDs. This should what reality TV be all about - unpretentious, cunning, hilarious and without those corporate-backed choreographies. The only reason that I rate this 4/5 stars is that they cut out the Philippine leg of the Asian tour - the show I was in and had to cough up my week's salary for airfare, etc... Overall, another solid effort from punk's rolling stones... The band just really wouldn't die...

Well what can I say. It's exactly what I expected...halarious, insaine, and entertaining. The special features are the best, and totally a NEED for any NOFX fan.

Have to say no only did I enjoy it seeing NOFX do what they do best around the world, but it gave me even more insight into different places around the world. I have to say it was a great watch.

The delivery was very quick and the item was in the condition just as it was described!
