Live at Rome Olympic Stadium is a live album and video by English rock band Muse, which was released on 29 November 2013 in CD/DVD formats. On 5 November 2013, the film received theatrical screenings in 20 cities worldwide, and the next day it was screened for one night only in 40 other territories.[1] The album contains the band's performance in Italy at Rome's Stadio Olimpico on 6 July 2013, in front of a crowd of 60,963 people. The concert was a part of The Unsustainable Tour, which is a moniker for the band's summer 2013 European leg of The 2nd Law World Tour.

Filming and production

The cameras which brought the concert to screen were sixteen Sony PMW-F55 CineAlta 4K cameras, and with a variety of cinema lenses, including 5 Angenieux 24/290s, an Elite 120/520, a number of Optimo 14/52's and with Fujinon 19–90 Cabrio and 85–300 Cabrio. Furthermore, a crane, a Towercam, various hotheads and a Spidercam were used. All images were recorded in HD and 4K on three terabyte hard drives. Alongside video, 120 lines of multi-track audio were recorded, all redundant. The result of all of this was 4 sets with material, 2 main sets and 2 back-up sets.[2]

The show was directed by Matt Askem (with whom the band worked on two previous videos, Hullabaloo: Live at Le Zenith, Paris and HAARP),[3] and produced by Serpent Productions.[4]

Additional songs that were performed on the night but omitted on the album were; "Map of the Problematique", "Dracula Mountain", "Liquid State", "Stockholm Syndrome", "Unintended" and "Blackout". In addition, "The 2nd Law: Isolated System" was shortened on the release.[5]

Release

The album was released on 29 November 2013 in the CD/DVD and CD/Blu-ray formats.

The 4K format was screened in theatres in 20 cities worldwide on 5 November 2013, and in 40 other territories the next day.[1] The film was screened in the US and Canada on 6 November 2013, in Europe, UK, Australia and Japan on 7 November 2013, on 12 November 2013 in Austria, Germany, Italy and Spain,[citation needed] 19 November 2013 in Poland,[6] and 22–24 November 2013 in Indonesia.[7]
