# Live in London (George Michael video)

Live in London is a live concert recording of George Michael's final two concerts in London's Earls Court on 24 and 25 August 2008 as part of his 25 Live tour. This is the first live DVD of Michael's career. It was released on DVD (two discs release) and Blu-ray (one BD with DTS-HD Master Audio and Dolby Digital 5.1 multichannel sound) formats on 7 December 2009 in the UK, Europe and Australia, and on 8 December 2009 in the US and Canada.
The DVD had subtitles for spoken portions of the DVD in several languages. The highly anticipated shows on the DVD marked the end of Michael's triumphant 25 Live tour and were the last chance to catch Michael performing on a stage of this magnitude in London.

## Background

In 2006, George Michael announced his first tour in 15 years, 25 Live. This DVD was recorded and filmed on 24 and 25 August 2008 when Michael declared two special performances entitled "The Final Two" which took place in Earls Court, London. Moreover, another two "final" concerts were announced in Copenhagen and Abu Dhabi. Those concerts were the last extensive touring that was performed by Michael. The DVD was recorded in the latter part of the tour, which had a very different set list, since most artists record the last (or last couple of) show(s) on a tour. The DVD reflects the final set list later used in the "Finals" concerts in Abu Dhabi, Australia, etc. The DVD is a mesh of the last two shows at Earls Court. The differences between the two nights can be seen at various times (e.g. the conga player changes between two different players during "Too Funky" and Michael can be seen standing in different places from shot to shot, as in the extended part of "Fastlove", once on the main stage, then a second later at the end of the catwalk stage extension, as well as during the intro of "Outside", once waiting behind the LED stage wall to open for Michael to walk through, then moments later he enters the stage from the right side, not using the door in the LED wall).
