Background

On March 4, 2010, it was announced on the band's website that they would be recording a new live album during their spring tour of 2010. The official quote from the website reads:
"To celebrate three decades of Bad Religion, we'll be recording a live album during our spring 2010 tour, and offering it as a free "thank you" to the loyal fans who've been with us through all the sweat and mayhem. So let us know who you are by joining our mailing list below, and sometime late spring we'll let you know how you can get your free Bad Religion 30 Years Live download. We'll be playing a few tracks at the shows from our new album, coming this fall, so this will be a great way to get a preview of the new tunes.
Thanks again to the greatest and best-looking fans a band could hope for."
The song "Won't Somebody" was previously released as an acoustic bonus track on the '' New Maps of Hell'' Deluxe Edition. An electric version was later featured on their 2010 studio album, ''
The Dissent of Man ''The Dissent of Man'' is the fifteenth studio album by American punk rock band Bad Religion, which was released on September 28, 2010. It was their first album in three years, following the release of '' New Maps of Hell'' in 2007. The band co ...
''. A studio version of "Resist-Stance" also later appeared on ''The Dissent of Man''. To commemorate their 30 years as a band, Bad Religion planned a 30 song set each night. According to Graffin, this went against their long held belief that "punk shows shouldn't be longer than an hour". This 30 song set included standard openings and encores with various songs played between. The same set was never played twice. Despite playing 30 songs live in all but one concert, the album includes only 17 tracks.


Release

The live album has not been sold in stores. Instead, it was released as a free download for fans who had signed up on the mailing list at the band's website. On March 8, 2010, it was announced on th
Epitaph Blog
that the album would be released on May 18, 2010 for a short period only. In 2016 the album was released on vinyl
