The release will be a CD and DVD package, with the CD featuring a partial setlist from the 16th of June and the DVD featuring a partial setlist from the 17th of June along with a documentary and photograph gallery. It appears that the DVD will be region free and so will have no territory-based playback restrictions.
There will be two versions. One will be a "dual case edition" and the other will come in a box with three postcards. The latter will purportedly include more backstage footage than the former.
City of Delusion is available only through the iTunes Store pre-order. Knights of Cydonia, Feeling Good, and Time is Running Out can be heard on Muse's MySpace.
The concert footage on the DVD will be shown in high definition video at selected Vue cinemas during March 2008. From this, it seems that the DVD will use one of Dolby's surround sound formats, as with Hullabaloo and unlike Absolution Tour.
History
Muse played two nights at the Wembley Stadium on the 16th and 17th of June
Around this time, some websites had listed this upcoming release as being a "Greatest Hits" album, but this was rebuked by muselive.com and Muse's management on the 7th of October.
In December, Christopher Wolstenholme said that the DVD had been delayed as the band wanted more time to work on it, whereas Warner wanted out in early December, presumably to benefit from Christmas sales. He also stated that the band would prefer to release one version of the DVD worldwide (without any Japanese bonus tracks), but in 3 editions. In light of this, the previous comment from Muselive's admin may have been to do with this disagreement.
On the 8th of January, CD Wow started listing the DVD as sechedlued to be released on the 18th of February. On the 12th of January, the official German fanclub was told by Warner Music Germany that the DVD would be released on the 15th of February in Germany.
Five official pro-shot videos have been released of the second night - Unintended, a partial Knights of Cydonia and the same Knights of Cydonia preview with Supermassive Black Hole on the end, respectively. The first was released through the Muse mailing list, on the 24th of December. The second was released through the Helium 3 website on the 11th of January 2008.
At the time of the second video's intial release, there were five additional placeholder spaces on the Helium 3 website, which was the number of weeks between the unveiling of the Knights of Cydonia clip and the release date of the DVD listed on online stores at that time, 18th of February. This lead to speculation that there would be a clip released for each of the weeks leading to the DVD's release.
Although this speculation turned out to be inaccurate, as of the 31st of January a thumbnail for a second video had been uploaded to the Helium 3 website. Later on the same day, it was noticed by fans that an extended video had been linked to at the end of the original one which included Supermassive Black Hole at the end. Whether any of these edits will be on the DVD is unknown.
The official Muse website confirmed on the 1st of February that there would be a CD+DVD of the concerts released, scheduled for the 17th of March. Unlike previously hinted by the official French fanclub and Warner France, the CD will feature audio just from the first night rather than a mix of the two nights. As previously reported, on the DVD will be recordings of the second night. Accompanying this official news item, the third video was put up on the Helium 3 website visibly, while the placeholders were removed.
On the 4th of Febuary, Muse sent out a press release with the track listing of both the CD and the DVD. The CD set list and the missing DVD track, both previously unknown, were included in the press release. The previously unknown track was Apocalypse Please. An official news item the next day confirmed the tracklisting, with the addition of introduction tracks at the start of both discs and the improvisation between Starlight and Time Is Running Out on the DVD. Also from this news item; similarly to Christopher Wolstenholme's previous wishes, the release will come in two editions. One will have additional artwork and one will be enclosed in two boxes. By the 15th of February Play.com had started listing the artwork version, which they elaborated as having three postcards included. Play.com further claimed that while both versions will have some backstage footage, the artwork version will have more of it.
A fourth video was hosted by play.com on the 6th of February, linked to in its listing for the DVD. This video could be the DVD introduction, as it features the band walking towards the stage, and ends with 'HAARP: Coming Soon". On the 14th of February, a fifth video was hosted on the Helium 3 website, this one of Feeling Good. Another video, of New Born, was put up on the 29th of February.
The CD was leaked on the 1st of March through private Bittorent tracker Waffles.
Yet another video, this time of Blackout, was uploaded to the Helium 3 website on 7th March
