( 1992 ) Queen - Live On Fire at the Bowl. How I wish I'd been there, but I was only 9! There are some half decent pretenders out there but no-one can and probably will come close to Queen live, now that's magic!Live at Wembley '86. Too many highlights to mention but Fred's majestic voice, Rogers pounding drumming, John's foundation threatning bass and Brian magical guitar work combine to create the ultimate live treat. The audience clearly know it too and respond with admirable energy to the great singalongs. Each band member oozes confidence and ability, Freddie was born to play Wembley and he knew it.

Queen is, in my opinion, the greatest band there ever was. But ever since i can remember listening to music, i always wished for a time machine in order to be able to go back in time to that concert. Attendance: Rio 1-12-85 - 350,000 Rio 1-19-85 - 250,000 London 9-18-76 - 150,000 (some reports claim 200,000) S&227 o Paulo 3-20-81 - 131,000Of course, at the time this show took place, i was only 6 and living in ceausescu's communist romania, so there was no chance i could've been there. It was first released in 1990 as an edited VHS (missing 11 songs), then as an audio CD in 1992, followed by a DVD release as Queen: Live at Wembley Stadium (in its entirety) to coincide with the CD rerelease in 2003.Top 10 Queen concerts. An absolute must have for ANY fan of classic rock.Queen at Wembley is a video recorded at Wembley Stadium, England on Saturday 12 July 1986 during Queens Magic Tour. The combination of song selection, multi camera filming, sound quality, and a second disc of extras make this the preferred choice for me.

Back to the concert, it is amazing. If anyone who rated this less than say 7 reads my review, please let me know why you considered this to be under par. I would really love to listen to what they have to say. That being said, i'm obviously a bit subjective saying this, but it is beyond my power to understand how anyone could rate this anything else than 10.

By the early 1980s those controversies, shifts in musical tastes, and the band's extremely ill-advised gig at the segregated South African resort of Sun City effectively knocked Queen out of the lucrative American market. Even so, the band often provoked a 'love it or hate it' reaction they offered an odd mixture of thundering hard rock, English musical hall, and progressive sound in a 'glamrock' package, and as time passed American audiences found it less and less appealing-particularly when dogged by rumors about lead singer Freddie Mercury's sexuality and the sexually 'ify' nature of the band's name itself. Although several critics admired their earliest releases, the public remained largely indifferent until the 1974 SHEER HEART ATTACK, which jolted the band to fame in both England and America-and throughout the 1970s Queen generated one major recording success after another with A NIGHT AT THE OPERA, A DAY AT THE RACES, and NEWS OF THE WORLD. Let's just try to enjoy the extraordinary music they all have created, and be happy we have that.The rock band Queen formed in England in 1972. What a shame it is that freddie died i needn't say.

WEMBLEY reminds you of the fundamental facts in no uncertain terms: four band members, a single back up musician to pick up occasional phrases here and there, and that was it. When you listen to Queen's most popular releases you listen to a band that knows how to work a recording studio to the nth degree-and so it is very easy to forget exactly how athletic and musically muscular Queen was. The concert was filmed, and it presents a great band that clearly had a great talent for playing to such incredibly large audiences. Who cares about New York and Los Angeles when you have out-charted every one from Elvis Presley to the Beatles and when you are the single biggest concert draw in world history? In 1986 Queen played England's Wembley Stadium, one of the largest venues in Europe, performing two concerts (one in a rainstorm) to sold out audiences.

This is a voice as delicate as a trembling candle flame, as roaring as bonfire, and shifting between both extremes without the faintest sign of strain or effort. Mercury is said to have had a four-octave range, and while his upper registers were too delicate for the demands of the concert stage you don't doubt it for a minute. At this point in the band's history concerts focused tightly around lead singer Freddie Mercury, who had a unique talent for dominating the massive audiences to which he played: handsome, muscular, he is all over the stage-and then there is that voice.

The bonus disk also includes several documentaries that range from the 'fair enough' to the 'very good.' Queen was a great live band, no doubt about it the film falls short of that, but even so it reminds you very clearly of what Freddie, Brian, John, and Roger could do when they put their minds to it. The producers make up for this a little bit on the bonus disk, which includes a feature that allows you to focus exclusively on one performer at a time over the course of a few songs. The endless cuts become more than a little wearing after a while and they ultimately undercut the energy of the concert itself. We have plenty of close ups, and very often some remarkable shots of the crowd-'Radio Gaga' is particularly extraordinary in this-but we seldom actually get to see the band as a whole. The thing consists of one flash cut after another, bouncing from Mercury to May to Taylor and shortchanging Deacon in the process. That said, however, the film itself is actually only so-so, and the reason is very obvious: the editing.

Strongly recommended in spite of flaws. He would be dead five years later.
