"Live At Wembley Stadium" is a live video by the Foo Fighters, released on August 22nd 2008 in Ireland and August 25th 2008 in the UK on DVD. It was also s released in Australia on August 30th, New Zealand on September 1st, and Germany, Austria and Switzerland on September 5th. It is not currently scheduled for release anywhere else. A High Definition Blu-Ray format release was scheduled for simultaneous release with the DVD, but this was pushed back to October 10th 2008.

It was filmed during the band's two sold out shows at Wembley Stadium on Friday June 6th and Saturday June 7th 2008. The video features a combination of footage from both nights, including the second nights collaboration with very special guests, Led Zeppelin members John Paul Jones (bass guitar) and Jimmy Page (guitar).

The video was also broadcast via satellite across the UK at Vue Cinemas on June 24th, 2008. The video was shown in High Definition with 5.1 surround sound, and was the same cut as the video release.

The image on the artwork was shot by the £20,000 aerial camera above the crowd on Friday 6th June.

The DVD was certified gold (7,500 sales) in Australia in its third week after release. [http://www.ariacharts.com.au/pages/charts_display_music.asp?chart=1V40DVD]

Some songs are taken from Friday's performance and some from Saturday's. This is identifiable in two ways.
