==History== The DVD was filmed during their October 25, 2008 concert at Rupp Arena in Lexington, Kentucky. The CD features performances from various concerts, including Lexington, KY (tracks 1, 5, 7, 8, & 10), Alberta, Canada (track 2), Atlanta, Georgia (track 6), Austin, Texas (track 3), & Minneapolis, Minnesota (tracks 4 & 9).
In December 2008, the duo released a live music video for the song "Love". Footage from this video was taken from the same concert in Lexington.
On June 16, 2009, the set was officially announced on their official website. Filmed in high-definition by director Shaun Silva with twenty cameras, the DVD features 16 songs and over an hour of live performance footage including all of their #1 hits, as well as other songs from their previous albums.
The 10-track CD features cover songs performed by the duo including Beyoncé's "Irreplaceable", The B-52's "Love Shack", Edie Brickel's "Circle", R.E.M's "Nightswimming" & "The One I Love", Pearl Jam's "Better Man" and Kings of Leon's "Sex on Fire". The CD also features four Sugarland songs.
==Critical reception== Thom Jurek of AllMusic gave the album three-and-a-half stars out of five, referring to it as "nearly the perfect document in that it contains not only the historic gig in all its technologically savvy glory, but also enough curios to interest even a casual fan."<ref name="allmusic">{{cite web|url={{AllMusic|class=album|id=r1637100|pure_url=yes}}|title=''Live on the Inside'' review|last=Jurek|first=Thom|work=AllMusic|accessdate=October 19, 2009}}</ref> Chris Neal of ''Country Weekly'' magazine also rated it three-and-a-half stars out of five, making note of the "quirky covers" on the CD portion, but also criticizing the duo for not choosing a country music cover.<ref name="cw">{{cite journal|last=Neal|first=Chris|date=August 31, 2009|title=Reviews|journal=Country Weekly|volume=16|issue=29|pages=50}}</ref>
