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
Product Description
The fan base for Muse grows with every release. 2006 s Black Holes And Revelations broke into the U.S. Top 10 while hitting #1 in the U.K. and much of Europe, where it sold 1 million copies and was #3 on NME's Albums Of The Year list. A multiple BRIT Award winner for Best Live Act,
Muse then staged two massive sold-out performances at 90,000-seat Wembley Stadium in London last June, which increasingly are recognised as amongst the definitive live moments of the year. The best performances from those concerts, as well as bonus backstage footage, are presented on the CD/DVD set HAARP. 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, if not the, greatest, most ambitious live act in the world at the present time.

MUSE HAARP CD September 5, 2008
Daniel N. Freda (New York USA)
This is quite possibly the best concert video I have ever seen. The guys play many of my favorite songs and play them rather excellently!!
I would recommend this to not only every muse fan, but also to every true music fan.
This is musical artisanship at it finest!!
Superb audio and performance September 1, 2008
Ben (New York City)
HAARP is a must own set for any Muse fan. Most of the live versions are better than the studio recordings, especially Knights of Cydonia and Starlight. One of the best live in DVD concerts. If I had to nitpick I would say some of the slower tracks dont fit in that well but overall its an impressive performance not to be missed.
Oh..... MY...... GAWD!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! August 30, 2008
no_deadbeats (Arlington, TX USA)
There's not a lot more I can say. This DVD is breathtaking. Literally. The insurmountable talent in this band is blatantly and galantly displayed in the live performance DVD. It makes me wish I'd have discovered this band sooner so I could have seen them live last time they were in my town. I'm already a huge fan of their studio music, their performance here is the epitome of music being performed somehow even better than in the studio. Their emotion and power is felt in one's veins. I will pay ANY amount of money next time they come to my city. They're all key tracks. All of them. This DVD is epic.
Spectacular August 21, 2008
Seville (Chicago)
Wow. Definitely in my best of 2008 already. The band I'm in and I watched this for the first time yesterday afternoon. We made an occasion of it, just like we were all going to the actual show, and boy did Muse bring the rock to my living room. My heart rate was up, I was bobbing my neck and tapping my foot along the whole time, almost as if we were there. I felt the same good-kind-of-tired euphoria after watching as I do after seeing a great show in person. And my TV and stereo ain't even all that great.
This is an immensely satisfying DVD. Muse are a spectacle, yes, which makes them just a bit impersonal with each other onstage and with the audience. But I find this an acceptable sacrifice to the sheer epic power of their music, which would suffer a bit I think if it betrayed itself as a touch more mortal. The grandiosity and the mild distance of the stage (felt even in extreme closeups on the DVD... you never forget you're in Wembley Stadium) also keeps Muse within the geneaology of the symphonic music they clearly love (barely, I admit).
So the stage visuals and feature-film-quality editing, which starts out slowly and draws you in to the show's power, are spectacular. But the real awe is for the effortless, jaw-dropping talent of all three band members. Matthew Bellamy sings so well live I spent half the time looking for clues he was lip-synching (as far as I can tell, he was not). And thousands of young bass players must have a new hero to admire in Chris Wolstenholme, who has it all: speed, taste and groove. This show would be almost as stunning under a couple coffee-can spotlights on a corner stage in a pub, thanks to their musicianship.
It's amazing to me how every Muse song is an anthem, how they make every song sound like the first or last track on the CD, yet I never got fatigued with the formula while watching all two hours straight. (All the anthems will keep me from watching constantly, though; I'm more inclined to make an infrequent but exciting event of it from time to time.) Also illuminating were the small but significant departures from the CD versions, always beautifully chosen and expanding on the artistry of the original recordings. Finally, this is also the best integration of audience footage I've ever seen in a live video. You really feel like you're there. And all the complaints in other reviews about omitted songs on a two-hour DVD just shows how deep and well-loved their repertoire is.
I'm glad this was captured on video, becuase I think this set is going to be talked about for a long time and establishes Muse as a legend. Anybody who thinks rock music is dead or modern music sucks NEEDS to at least check out this DVD.
An all-time live album... July 19, 2008
J. P. Hann (Bay Area, CA)
One word: chills. Even a non-fan of Muse will have a tough time making it through the opening "Knights of Cydonia" without being swept away by the blistering energy. If you have had the fortune of seeing this remarkable band live, this set does a fine job capturing some of the incredible power they bring to the stage, and has proven a fine way to introduce the uninitiated to what live acts aspire to inspire.
The DVD does a far better job of lifting off (the Prokofiev from "Romeo and Juliet," while a lovely musical nod to introduce the band and the first song, is an over-long and somewhat baffling opening track on the CD), but both discs keep you riveted to the ending chords of "Take a Bow." WIth tracks spanning their studio albums (with a heavy bias towards the last two), there's a good sampling of their musical range, with the strength of their live stage presence weaving the whole effort together.
Enough words. I need to go listen again now. Buy it! Enjoy!
