They first showed a Wembley edition of the film, which was great and very emotional (I cried) and was about an hour long (and a half? Can't really remember because the opening of the concert with Rusty Nail right after the film ended was so great that I didn't looked at my phone) and then they played until 11 pm. Minus the time between the show and the first encore as well as the first and second encore, it must have been a show almost 3 (2 and a half?) hours long.
Even though I was standing all the time, I didn't got tired and not once wanted to sit down. They interacted a lot with the fans. Yoshiki made fun of themselves apologizing for the delay of the new album and after naming a few reasons saying "yes every excuese is welcome". The way he said that was very sweet. He then continued saying that it is really almost 99% finished and just one thing missing: they wanted to record the fans voices for a new song. So Toshi teached us how to sing. It was very emotional.
During another part Yoshiki sat at the piano, asking Toshi if he wanted to say something, Toshi seemed a little confused and asked "Say something?" and Yoshiki replied "Yes you wanted to say something". Toshi joked "Say anything?" and the fans were cheering, so Yoshiki started to play it on the piano and we were all singing together with Toshi.
Every member also had their solo parts, especially amazing was Sugizo on the violin.
I had to cry a few times because they played so many songs I wanted to hear live since I was 12 and though I would never be able to.
Furthermore they if course didn't forget Hide and Taiji, especially Hide was seen on the screen a few times. ;_; I cried again. lol
There was also the 3rd movement of Art of Life. It was very moving. I so love Art of Life! ♡
If course there were also a lot of energetic parts which were amazing and countless "We are X" moments.
It was pretty obvious that the show ment a lot to them, they all seemed very moved and I had the feeling they wanted to make the delay of the show and album up to us fans, since you were able to buy a tshirt PLUS a limited edition of the film soundtrack for just 30£. This is a very fair price I think.

Then there also was a signing session on friday I went to. It was very special to me since I was able to talk to Yoshiki and he praised me for my Japanese. I told him that the music of X was very important to me since my childhood and that tomorrow a dream becomes true and thanked him. Japanese people are easily to impress most of the time with just saying "arigatou", but since Yoshiki told me my Japanese was great and he interacted with me, I was very happy. ♡

Oh and a lot of Japanese fans came to London for the concert, also a lot of older ones in cosplay. It was great to see so many old fans!

If anyone is interested, I made 4 videos or so, they are just a few seconds long because I don't like recording that much during a concert since I'm not really able to comcentrate on the show then, but if anyone wants me to upload them I happily share. =)
I also made a few photos if someone wants to see them. Even though I was pretty far away and there isn't that much to see.

Wow! Thank you so much for this big review!

I had the same feelings 6 years ago at Le Zenith in Paris. I wanted to attend Wembley concert too. Seems like it was a very special live! You're really lucky!
