Wikipedia article
'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. The album contains the band's performance 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 1990 Cabrio and 85300 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.
The show was directed by Matt Askem (with whom the band worked on two previous videos, 'Hullabaloo: Live at Le Zenith, Paris' and 'HAARP'), and produced by Serpent Productions.
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.
