Live at the Palace 2008

Live at the Palace 2008 is the first DVD release by Canadian rock band Three Days Grace. Three Days Grace dedicated this DVD, in loving memory, to their manager and friend Stuart Sobol. The DVD was originally released as a Best Buy exclusive in August 2008, but soon became available at other retailers.

Background
Three Days Grace was on the third leg of their tour with Breaking Benjamin when they were set to record their performance at The Palace of Auburn Hills in Michigan. Guitarist Barry Stock told Billboard that their film crew would come out on the road in March to record the band's performance. "We record our show every night onto ProTools, so they'll come out and film this and I’m pretty sure we're gonna put together a DVD with that stuff."

The 79-minute recording was directed by Michael Drumm. The DVD was filmed at The Palace of Auburn Hills and captures the band's live performance and the enthusiasm of the sold-out crowd. The DVD also contains exclusive behind-the-scenes footage that allows fans the opportunity to get up-close and personal with the band.

Release
Live at the Palace 2008 was released exclusively in Best Buy on August 19, 2008. The DVD was screened in select theatres on August 26. It was later released to Blu-ray on December 2.

Reception
The A.V. Club stated, "Live At The Palace 2008 features hits from their 2003 self-titled debut and 2006's One-X, including 'I Hate Everything About You', 'Riot' and 'Animal I Have Become' plus a cover of Alice in Chains' 'Rooster'. Bolstered by a literally explosive stage set, Live At The Palace 2008 will leave you wanting more."
