Chasing Time: The Bedlam Sessions is a live album and DVD released by James Blunt in 2006 as a follow-up to his 2004 debut album, Back to Bedlam. The set contains a live album from Ireland, as well as a DVD featuring a recorded performance at the BBC, music videos for "High", "You're Beautiful", "Wisemen" and "Goodbye My Lover", and interviews taken from various television appearances and studio sessions. The audio CD was also included as part of a deluxe package of Back to Bedlam that was available in the United States, thus meaning that this release was not issued there.
