A fantastic gig! - By: Lilith, 21 Nov 2008
It's great to have a DVD of a gig one has actuallly been to. I went to the Friday show, which of course didn't feature Jimmy Page, but it was still a great night. The atmostphere was amazing, which is captured quite well by the filming & the gig was definately a highlight of 2008 for me! A must for any Foo Fighters fan!
The best night of my life?...probably!! - By: Lp Towsey-hinton, 10 Nov 2008
I will write this review before viewing the DVD (santa will be buying me this!!), as it was by far the best gig that I have been to this year!!!
(and I've seen Radiohead, Madonna, The Kaisers, Korn...just to name a few)
And I was only there on the Friday so wasn't there to witness Led Zep's input...can't wait to see that one!!
It was one of the best nights I have ever had the atmosphere was amazing & certainly the highlight of my summer (especiallly as I didn't make any of the festivals!!)
I even adopted a friend for the evening who although well & truely under the influence of alcohol seemed to be having a great time!!

Thank you very much to the Foo's & I hope it won't be too long until you are back at Wembley again!
Buy it - By: William Tomlin, 22 Sep 2008
If you're a rock fan, buy it. I was there that night so this was a must buy for me but Dave Grohl put it best & I quote "welcome to the best f*****g night of my whole entire life". He's a big time Zep fan & seeing him back on drums with Jimmy Page & John Paul Jones playing like it's 1977 again is worth the asking price alone. This is one for those Saturday nights when you've been out & had a few beers, get home & want to carry on partying; stick it on, turn it up & dream of Madison Square Garden in the 70s. Simply awesome.
A must for Foo fans - By: Paula, 05 Sep 2008

'Welcome to the greatest night of my entire life...' - By: Dafydd Jones, 03 Sep 2008
I genuinely think that Dave Grohl meant that when he mustered those words in disbelief.

Where do I start?

This concert was filmed live on location at Wembley Stadium, at the beginning of June earlier this year. I was lucky enough to find tickets for the Saturday show, & I knew it was going to be one of the best live shows I have ever seen.

I stand by that statement. I have been fortunate enough to see the Stereophonics in Llandudno (which was a massive coup for Venue Cymru), & Iron Maiden & Trivium in Manchester, & although Maiden were outstanding, I felt more alive & captivated by this show, even if I was three tiers up & Dave Grohl was the proverbial ant.

Here, I can re-live the concert again (or certainly parts of it), & the only downside is that I wanted more songs on the DVD - 'Come Alive' was outstanding, & there could easily have been more additions.

But Taylor Hawkins's drum solo, & Dave Grohl & Chris Shiflett's guitar duel in 'Stacked Actors' were fantastic...and then...

...you had Jimmy Page & John Paul Jones. What an honour it was to share the company of these absolute legends. Dave got behind the drums for 'Rock & Roll' & Taylor did the vocals (and was startlingly like Robert Plant) - brilliant.

Dave then did the vocals for 'Ramble On' while Taylor got back on the drums.

An unforgettable night indeed. Please buy the DVD, even if you weren't a part of it.

10/10 - Outstanding, absolutely brilliant.
