Live in London: Babymetal World Tour 2014 (stylized as LIVE IN LONDON -BABYMETAL WORLD TOUR 2014-, titled Live in London internationally) is the fourth live video album by the Japanese band Babymetal, released in Japan on May 20, 2015 and in Europe on October 30, 2015.

It contains two concerts that the band gave in London as part of its first world tour, Babymetal World Tour 2014: the first took place on July 7, 2014 at The Forum and the second on November 8, at the O2 Academy Brixton.[1][2] The album was also released as part of the "The One" fanclub limited edition box set Babymetal World Tour 2014 Apocalypse, which features footage of the performance at Makuhari Messe on September 14, 2017, as well a highlights from the Babymetal World Tour 2014.[3]

Content

The live performance at The Forum on July 7, 2014 was broadcast live at Zepp Tokyo. The concert began with a video introduction with a Star Wars-inspired opening crawl declaring "all metal roads lead to Europe",[4] and then commencing with the opening track "Babymetal Death", with the members of the band performing the rest of the songs from Babymetal with the accompanying Kami Band playing the music live. After performing "Gimme Chocolate!!", the three members leave the stage until the encore. When performing the final song "Ijime, Dame, Zettai", the introductory narration is in English, unlike in previous shows.[5]

Critical reception

Josh Saco from The Quietus positively reviewed the performance at The Forum, calling the performance authentic and more than just "mere exploitation" of the genre, praising the staff of Babymetal for knowing the genre, "from devastating drums, to screeching guitars".[4]
