Live At Wembley Stadium

Great concert
This is a great concert, but the video quality is just okay at times. I ended up buying it from Prime Video too because the picture was so much better, but I am glad I have a physical dvd as well.

Foo Fighters deliver amazing rock show
I saw the clip with Page/Jones on youtube and had to see it in full quality so I ordered this Blu Ray. Until the past year or so I was always a casual Foo Fighters fan, never saw them live and only had a couple albums. Then I found out they were headlining Lollapalooza so I picked up their newest album and was blown a w a y. It was fantastic and I started a deep dive until the years post The Colour and the Shape and enjoying some solid rock.I got the Blu Ray today conveniently while I was home alone and was able to crank it on my theater. It looks and sounds amazing. The PCM audio track is absolutely phenomenal. The track list is full of hits and plenty of jams.It's not always common these days to find bands that can jam and improvise, but Foo Fighters pull it off in spades. They could play the songs just like they sound on the album, but they have their own sound live. That is something that makes me truely appreciate a band.On to the best part though.. Zeppelin jam. I grew up in the 90's listening to some grunge, but my love was in the 70's w/ Led Zeppelin. I owned all their albums and they were all I listened to for so long. So to find out that Page/Jones came out to jam with one of the best bands of the 90's I had to pick this show up. It doesn't disappoint. You can see the sheer uninhibited child like joy in Dave and Taylor's eyes/facial expressions. You can literally see Taylors thoughts when he realizes he's about to jam with them and the look on Dave's face when he tears into Rock n Roll is like a kid on Christmas morning or a dog whose owner just came back from a year overseas. You can tell this is genuinely one of the best moments of their life. The songs are great renditions too, I have never clapped along to a song at home before and found my self subconsciously doing just that.The performance from the Foo Fighters is absolutely amazing overall and well worth the price of admission, then the addition of Page/Jones at the end is the icing on the cake. Well worth the asking price.

Best recorded concert I've ever heard
I use this DVD as a gift to my wife, to give her an experience of going to a concert during the covid times.We have a pretty massive home theater room and we cranked it super loud... I think it was better than going to the show personally.I wish I could find more concerts recorded like this, at the peak of that artists capabilities, and at the same time extremely good production quality and audio quality.There are a few times instruments were emitted from the final recording for some reason, but for the most part I could hear everything.What a tremendous wonderful high-energy concert with a nice surprise at the end. You can really see and feel how much fun they were having and at the same time appreciate the amount of effort they put into their craft.Anyway, long story short this is a very special concert worth owning by just about anybody who likes rock.

Super Concert!
AWESOME concert!! Being 64 yrs old and LOVING heavy metal and rock, I can not handle standing for one song let alone a whole concert so a live dvd is perfect for me. I can boogy in privacy of my own space. And crank up the volume or wear ear phones.LOVE Dave Grohl. So much talent, nicest guy, so much energy. Love how much he gives to the audience. But you can see how emotional he got at this concert being the largest they have ever performed. They will be performing in FL very soon and how I would love to turn the clock back to make me younger. So I have to be satisfied with dvds. This one is great!Rock on! At least I got to see Metallica in concert in Orlando but only proved to me that I am too old for this.. But no regrets for going. Once in a lifetime thing. Off to listen to their greatest hits cd at work with my earbuds..

A MUST for the Foo fan. Wow.
If you have never been to a Foo Fighters concert and like the band (you don't even have to love them), it should be on your list of things to do before you die. They have so much energy and presence on stage it sends chills up your spine with Dave Grohl being a high level performer with an amazing ability to scream and have it sound melodic.The energy of their shows is in full form with this DVD at Wembley Stadium filmed in front of two groups of over 80,000 screaming fans. The energy of the crowd makes you want to jump up and down and scream and the performances of classic Foo hits are out of this world. I was awed by the quality of the video and the shots of the band, Dave and crowd and right on. Bonuses are the performance of Rock and Roll and Ramble On by Foo along with John Paul Jones and Jimmy Page of Led Zepplin.Another bonus on the DVD is the ability to easily from the pop-up menu go to individual songs.If you like Foo and have a home theater system, this is a MUST.

Entirely Subjective 5-Star Rating
If you are a Foo Fighter fan and have followed the band's progression for as long as I have, this is a concert that you will want to add to your collection and watch over and over again, in part , because it marks a really significant milestone in the band's career. Wembley was the largest crowd FF had ever performed for. There are moments, for me, when the band's (particularly, Dave Grohl's) emotional honesty and genuine gratitude for the fans and everything it took to get them to that stage on that night, allow you, the fan or viewer, to feel just a little bit proud of yourself for having contributed to the Foo Fighter's lengthy and continuing musical journey.Other highlights:Very well shot, great energy and dizzying or subdued camera angles that pair well with the songsTaylor Hawkin's drum solo about halfway through the showTaylor also sings a few songs which I always enjoyIt's a great setlist with some amazing songs they don't really play live anymore, i.e. "Stacked Actors"

Great video but tinny sound
As a concert spectacle this is a great buy, really grasping the energy and performance of the Foos. The only downside is the sound recording which leans towards the high frequencies too much. I don’t know if mine was an original but the sound content only takes up 0.5Gb of the disc, whereas a good soundtrack uses 3-4Gb. 5 stars for the gig but docked 2 for sound. Edit: I have since selected 2.0 PCM mix from the options menu and this transforms it (lossless 48Khz 24 bit rather than lossy dolby digital). Also playing through a decent system helps!

Cracking Concert ....
I got this on Blueray as I wanted better sound and to take advantage of the 50" Screen.The video is very clear, as the camera pans across the crowd you can pick people out its that clear !!!The sound was feed out to a 5.1 suround sound via Dolby Prologic and even at this level it did not disapoint.Hope to get a better suround system later this year and take full advantage of this disc.The Foo Fighters are simply fantastic to see live,I just missed out on seeing them live in 2008 and this made up for it, I have just seen them this year at Milton Keynes.But no home sound system is going to recreate that feel of been there, I think the way the sound comes across on the disc is exceptional in its clarity for what you hear at the concerts...Its great,what can i say, you just wont be dissapointed :)

Outstanding
I saw the Foos on the Saturday night gig at Wembley, and we were in the seated section of the stadium.I remember seeing the cameras swinging around on cleverly rigged up cables, zooming in on the stage, and swivelling round the whole stadium. These images have been used to create a fantastic Bluray version of the gig, showing close ups of all the bits I couldn't quite see from my seat, including the watering eyes of Dave Grohl as Jimmy Page and John Paul Jones got up on stage with him.The sound quality is also fantastic, and I would recommend this bluray to anyone who went to the gig and wants to re-live it, or anyone who wasn't lucky enough to get tickets and wants to see what they missed out on.I've seen a bit on the normal DVD version, and can say the Bluray is definitely worth the extra money.

A MUST HAVE FOR ANY FOO FAN
i can remember walking into Wembly Stadium and watching the foos play there biggest brittish concert ever liveand this brilliant BLU-RAY recreates the electric atmosphereive bought foo fighters live concerts before such As live at hyde Park but nothing compared to thisthe incredible vocals of Dave Ghrol seemed to echo across the stadium.the 86,000 fans who saw the foo fghters cant be wrong.but you dont have to miss out this has to be the best Music BLU-RAY of all time5 stars
