Queen Live at Wembley '86

I was 23 years old, newly married and at the greatest concert of my life! I still remember the atmosphere and the fantastic showmanship of the band and it's almost 20 years later! It was an entire day event, the weather was fantastic, and the scene was set! There were other bands supporting Queen that day, Status Quo and the wonderful INXS. People have commented that Freddie Mercury wasn't at his best that day due to his illness, but I never noticed. To me he was amazing and consuming to watch. I just happened to be in the right place at the right time and I am glad this video was released so that I can cherish the moment over and over again. If you are a Queen fan then this is a MUST for your collection. Thanks Queen!

I'm a massive fan of Queen and this has to be one of the most fantastic concert i've ever seen. Freddie is as his best and steals the show. May, Taylor and Deacon all play at their very best as well, making Queen the best rock group ever to grace planet earth.

of 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. 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. queen is, in my opinion, the greatest band there ever was. i might not listen to them as much as i used to, but they're still number one in my book, and whenever i put on one of their songs, my heart resonates. 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. much less a 2. incomprehensible. i would really love to listen to what they have to say. if anyone who rated this less than say 7 reads my review, please let me know why you considered this to be under par. back to the concert, it is amazing. freddie is most probably at his best, although his live career was quickly approaching it's end. what a shame it is that freddie died i needn't say. let's just try to enjoy the extraordinary music they all have created, and be happy we have that.

This is a concert from a period when Queen were on the heights of their career. A Queen concert has always been something special, and this video captures the spirit and shows us the unforgettable Freddie Mercury in his prime, a human powerhouse with an incredible voice and a unique show act.

I was too young to visit the concerts in person back then, which is a sad fact I will never be able to remedy. But by watching this video, I get an idea of what it was like to be at such a concert in the 80s. Wonderful music, great audience, splendid performers... Queen remains for me the best Rock band of all time.

I own both this disc and the "On Fire at the Bowl" DVD. This is by far my favorite. Everything is done right and to perfection here. There is a majesty in the filming and editing that is missing in the other performance. Maybe it's the energy of this awesome Wembley crowd. Shot just before sunset, the transition to night time is magic and Freddie commands! He is loved by and connected to the crowd like very few performers. The sound is stellar, Brian is in great form, the harmonies are spot on, it is incredible to realize this wall of great sound is coming mostly from a live trio. Of the 28 songs on this DVD there are only 8 that are on the "On Fire.." disc, making this practically a whole different show. I prefer the selections on this Wembley performance and although some reviewers claim the performance on the "On Fire.." disc was better, I do not agree. The combination of song selection, multi camera filming, sound quality, and a second disc of extras make this the preferred choice for me. An absolute must have for ANY fan of classic rock.
