Muse live at Wembley was probably the best gig I have ever been to, having seen them twice already I had high expectations and they still managed to blow me away, so you can imagine my delight when they finally released this CD/DVD.
Disc one is simply a CD of some of the songs they performed. From the beginning to end you can almost feel the atmosphere there was in the stadium over the two days.
Muse pull out all the stops and the CD kicks off with Knights of Cydonia which sounds even more epic than normal from Wembley Stadium. Throughout the CD you can feel the passion in the songs. The best track on the album for me has to 'Unintended', the song is quite an old one but is such an emotional song and you can feel the emotion that was running through the stadium on the day.
The second disc is a DVD of the performance, again on the DVD you can feel the atmosphere as almost 100,000 people go absolutely mental when Muse start with Knights of Cydonia.
When you watch the DVD you can clearly see how much the crowd are enjoying it, but also you can see how much the band are enjoying playing to such huge crowd, and although they tend to play song after song they still manage to hold the crowd for the entire length of the show.
