This Disaster: Live in London is New Found Glory's second DVD, and first live DVD. The DVD features a show that they performed at The Forum in London, England, on August 31, 2004, as well as many extras including a behind-the-scenes look on their tours and acoustic radio performances.
The DVD's title is derived from the song "This Disaster" off the band's fourth album, Catalyst (2004). It is most likely that the title was chosen, because in the middle of the band's set the main power to the venue went out.

[edit]What makes this show so unique is that during the show while the band was playing "Dressed to Kill", the main power to the venue went out. As a result, the band could not continue their performance. However, in an effort to keep the show going, the band played two acoustic songs while the power was being restored, namely "My Friends over You" and "I Don't Wanna Know". After finishing the song, the power was restored and the band continued their set as planned, including full band versions of both songs.

This Disaster
[edit]The cameras filming the concert were not affected by the blackout. Thus, the DVD's second section features a montage of the 45 minute footage of New Found Glory's efforts to continue the show. After a failed attempt to employ a megaphone, Jordan Pundik and James Dewees perform an acoustic version of "My Friends over You", using an already restored microphone and keyboard, and "I Don't Wanna Know", with the addition of Chad Gilbert on acoustic guitar.
- "My Friends Over You (Acoustic)"
- "I Don't Wanna Know (Acoustic)"
