The audio, however, has been sourced by a high-quality multitrack recording, snippets of which have leaked online in mid-2011 to positive fan reception; some of this is from the July 15 show.

Randall Roberts of the Los Angeles Times criticized the audio mix, saying, "It's a solid, if thinly recorded, document that lacks sonic heft.

"[5] Michael Jones of Blogcritics said "These two recordings just exude pure energy and while watching it I'm thunderstruck by how effortless this lithe little man seems to make spending over two hours singing and dancing his absolute heart out for thousands of adoring fans.

)"[6] The Second Disc had a glowing review of the Wembley DVD, saying, "The picture quality is clearly that of a videocassette, but it doesn't detract from a stunning performance, and the camera work is generally strong with well-chosen angles.

Within moments of opening with 'Wanna Be Startin' Somethin'', Jackson is posing, gyrating, spinning, kicking, stomping and slithering with a sleek fleetness of foot that whips the audience into a frenzied state.

By the time he dons his famous glove and launches into that mesmerizing moonwalk on 'Billie Jean', it seems that Jackson can't possibly give any more.

"[7] Evan Sawdey of PopMatters gave a positive review of the DVD, giving it a 7 out of 10, saying, "Here, Jackson is at the peak of his powers, absolutely bursting with energy.

Extended dance breaks are added into the songs, his backing quartet of dancers are extremely precise, and yes, that's 80s Sheryl Crow coming out to duet with him on 'I Just Can't Stop Loving You'...

"[8] Chaz Lipp of The Morton Report had this to say about Jackson's performance: "Perhaps the best part of Bad 25 is the full concert recorded live at London's Wembley Stadium, July 16, 1988.

This concert is relatively stripped down visually, making it a perfect contrast to the more elaborately produced Live in Bucharest: The Dangerous Tour DVD.
