Delay

The Used were supposed to release a live album 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. The band was forced to come up with more footage, but in the long run Jeph Howard said it all turned out for the best. "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."^[6]
