Britney Spears: Live and More! (stylized in lowercase) is the second video album by American recording artist Britney Spears. It was released on VHS on November 21, 2000 and later released on DVD alongside Spears' first video Time Out with Britney Spears (1999) on February 13, 2001.[1] The video includes Spears' performance on Waikiki Beach, Hawaii during her Crazy 2k Tour (2000). Spears toured in Hawaii with a mix of sightseeing, fan appearances, and live performances. The camera follows her as she practices with her dancers, hangs out with friends, and even attempts to dance hula. The highlight is the live performance where Spears sings her songs such as "Oops!...I Did It Again", "(You Drive Me) Crazy" and "...Baby One More Time". The video was a commercial success, peaking at number four on US Top Music Videos, and was certified triple platinum by the Recording Industry Association of America (RIAA). In France, the video was certified platinum by Syndicat National de l'Édition Phonographique (SNEP) for sales of over 20,000 copies. It has sold over 500,000 copies worldwide.

I Did It Again. Plus, you can spend some "down time" with Britney as she enjoys the stunning, sun-soaked beauty of Oahu and its people – a trip truly worth taking again and again!

The performance of "(You Drive Me) Crazy" on Waikiki Beach, Hawaii suffered from a sound issue, and it needed to be performed again.[4] The songs performed were shorter on the television broadcast and the video.[5] Spears also performed "I Will Be There", Joe sang "I Wanna Know" to Spears,[6] and Destiny's Child performed their song "Say My Name" mid-show, after "From the Bottom of My Broken Heart", but the performances were cut from the video.
