Bad Company - Live At Wembley (2011)
When legendary classic rockers Bad Company performed at the historic British venue Wembley Arena in London on a beautiful April 2010 spring night, high-definition cameras captured the whole evening in all its glory. There was magic in the air as all three original Bad Company members - vocalist extraordinaire Paul Rodgers, guitarist Mick Ralphs and drummer Simon Kirke - are augmented by bassist Lynn Sorensen and guitarist Howard Leese. (Original bassist Boz Burrell died in 2006.) The set list is packed with every major hit, fan favorites and seldom-heard deep album cuts.

How sad is this?
Did you people see the same film I saw?
If the ambition is to provide two hours of instantly forgettable, popcorn-munching escapism, it succeeds.
A film with more than the usual spoiler issues. Talking about it in any detail feels akin to handing you a gift-wrapped present and saying, "I hope you like it -- It's a thriller about a diabolical secret experiment."
"Bad Company: Live at Wembley" has the band playing all of their big hits, so such a setlist is sure to please both die-hards and noobs. They put on a great show that night, and the band's trademark swagger is right there on display. What I'd like to know is just what divine nectar Paul Rodger's has been swilling, 'cause his voice still sounds amazing. The dude's a god up there on stage, age be damned. This is a fine concert DVD, mixed well, sounds great, and my only nit to pick is with the somewhat sedate audience (c'mon, Wembley).Phenomenal stuff.9/10
