Muse - Haarp: Live From Wembley Stadium (CD / DVD) (DTS)

Over the weekend of Saturday 16th and Sunday 17th June 2007, MUSE took to the stage at the new Wembley Stadium in London for two unprecedented sold out shows that are increasingly recognised as amongst the definitive live moments of the year.

The concerts once again demonstrated the raw power and unquenchable ambition of one of the UK’s most successful long term bands and one of the greatest, most ambitious live acts in the world.

MUSE have elevated their shows to events of a spectacular nature –little wonder that Kerrang described the Saturday night show simply: “What a gig. What a night. What a band”. The Guardian were moved to suggest that “few are more suited than MUSE to take on what Pele described as the cathedral of football” in a rare 5/5 review.

The footage on the HAARP DVD is taken from the show on Sunday 17th June with the live CD featuring the first date, Saturday 16th. Both DVD & CD feature the huge hits from 2006’s, ‘Black Holes and Revelations’, including show stoppers ‘Knights Of Cydonia’, Starlight’ and ‘Supermassive Black Hole’. But of course HAARP also features Muse classics including ‘Plug In Baby’, ‘Time Is Running Out’, ‘Feeling Good’, ‘Hysteria’, ‘New Born’ and a host of others.

MUSE have cemented their live reputation with this release. The endless stream of plaudits and awards, and the rapturous response to these summer shows demonstrate a band at the height of their powers: HAARP captures this breadth of success and acclaim with drama, style and action.

Simply mind blowing.
