Amazon.co.uk Review
It takes a certain sort of band to fill Wembley stadium, one unafraid to embrace scale, flirt with pomposity, and perform the odd grand gesture. Watching Muse's live CD/DVD H.A.A.R.P--recorded over two nights in June 2007--you're left wondering if Wembley is quite big enough to hold them. From the grand opening, when Muse ascend from an underground chamber and walk down a central ramp flanked by men in yellow chemical splash suits to Matt Bellamy's lengthy, florid turns at the grand piano, no opportunity is missed to make H.A.A.R.P seem anything less than a spectacle. Shot in high definition, the camera-work is as snappy and dynamic as any movie blockbuster, with special attention to the crowd, who are picked out with sometimes breathtaking detail. Fans may gripe over the tracklisting--the DVD has been edited down, meaning four tracks, including "Bliss" have been left on the cutting floor–-but casuals should be satisfied with the selection: there's the hits ("Supermassive Black Hole", "Knights of Cydonia") and on the DVD, a noble rendition of Nina Simone's "Feeling Good".--Louis Pattison

....Perfection To The Mass
...if you havnt heard of muse...please turn off your PC and jump off a cliff as your not worth living!
This CD/DVD is amazing !
like many others - I was at this gig. But i went to BOTH dates that weekend (16th and 17th) I had a seat for the saturday and i got RIGHT TO THE FRONT on the 17th (and was delighted to find out they were filming the DVD for that night!) I just WISH WISH WISH...Muse played 'microcuts' on the sunday instead of the saturday as its their BEST SONG BY FAR ! i went mental when they played it on the saturday. (as i had a bet with my mate who is the biggest muse fan ever - that they would play it) i won...and he had to eat his trainer!

(you can actually see me in this- and my parents laughed when they saw) lol
and this DVD will always be in my collection as a GREAT memory- this is a must for any fan of good music!
awesome - and i cant wait for future MUSE...
just wish the parents didnt like them now :( (too old for this groovy band):D

CAN MUSE GET ANY BETTER THAN THIS?
Probably yes, this band go from strength to strength, but this concert is/was amazing. I like the extra footage which shows how nervous they all were beforehand. Chris quietly taking it all in, Dom pacing around nervously and Matts infectious chatter and laugh. At the start we see the band emerge onto stage from an elevator underneath the stage. You can see the look on Matts face as he turns around and views the massive crowd all cheering (I am sure he is thinking how did we get here?). Not much pressure there then lads! They take to the stage as Matt plays the calling sound from 'Close Encounters' on his guitar, they then blast into Knights Of Cydonia and the crowd goes mad. 2 hours of pure bliss (I still can't believe I was at this gig). This is a must for any MUSE fan.

About as good as it gets...
I have been a fan for years, ever since the epic showbiz. Im glad that they have released another DVD recording. I have to get my one and only gripe out of the way first...what on earth went on in the editing room! There is a different camera angle every second, I know changing camera angles now and then adds a bit of variety, but come on there is a limit...

The DVD itself is impressive, the menu looks really slick and easy to navigate through the options. The picture quality is also pretty good taking into account the size of the venue. The sound quality is also really good (apart from hysteria where i thought Matts guitar was a bit on the quiet side)

It is an electric performance, starting with some of their higher paced songs, then a fantastic period in which blackout and unintended get a rare runout and then finishing off with some real anthems. My personal favourite is the performance is new born, which i thought was amazing.

The CD is a live recording and is clear, high quality and makes a good compliment for the DVD...no complaints about is

The best part is i can listen/watch this CD/DVD over and over again withoutit ever feeling tedious, great concert and well worth the money!!!
