Background and release
On April 23, 2010, the band announced through their official Facebook page that Decade (Live at the El Mocambo) was to be released on June 8, 2010.[http://65.36.251.48/news/84]{{dead link|date=June 2012}} It was filmed and recorded during March 18–21, 2010 during the band's 10th anniversary shows. The show was filmed by Robby Starbuck, who had previously directed the music videos of "Vices" and "American Dream" for the band. Four cameras were used, presumably limited by the size of the venue.{{cite web|author= |url=http://www.ultimate-guitar.com/reviews/dvd/silverstein/decade_live_at_the_el_mocambo/index.html |title=Decade (Live At The El Mocambo) Review | Silverstein | DVD | Reviews @ |publisher=Ultimate-guitar.com |date= |accessdate=2012-02-13}}
