7 out of 7 found this helpful. One of the world's biggest bands return to the scene of their Live Aid (1985) triumph a year earlier to play all their greatest hits in front of a packed Wembley Stadium.
Because of Mercury's declining health (he was diagnosed with AIDS the following year), they were never able to tour again. It is filmed with detail and edited to please. People have commented that Freddie Mercury wasn't at his best that day due to his illness, but I never noticed. This is by far THE greatest concert ever staged by Queen! I've had this on VHS for ages, and last year upgraded to the excellent new DVD, what can I say, it is simply amazing.
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.

How about a 100,000 wet, cold people? Complete Queen concert from Milton Keynes Bowl, 5th June 1982. Their final concert with Mercury as frontman was soon after this one, at Knebworth Park. If you are a huge Queen fan, like I am, I HIGHLY recommend this concert! let's just try to enjoy the extraordinary music they all have created, and be happy we have that. I own both this disc and the "On Fire at the Bowl" DVD. To me he was amazing and consuming to watch. Everything is done right and to perfection here. 4 out of 5 found this helpful.

With Freddie Mercury, John Deacon, Brian May, Roger Taylor. One of the world's biggest bands return to the scene of their even Alice Cooper isn't so great than Queen.Queen is one of the greatest rock bands ever.
This is from Queen's famous "Magic Tour", which was their biggest ever world tour and also their final tour with the classic line up of Freddie Mercury, Brian May, Roger Taylor and John Deacon.
Long live Freddy!!! 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. Do you ever wonder what it would be like to dominate a 100,000 people? I missed out on Queen back then....I was into trendy "80's" bands and in the 90's I found great music, singers, songwriters, hard guitars, and in this decade I am getting older and sick and tired of current music.
Shot just before sunset, the transition to night time is magic and Freddie commands! 6 out of 6 found this helpful. I was 23 years old, newly married and at the greatest concert of my life! Was this review helpful?
Freddie is as his best and steals the show. Featuring Freddie Mercury, Brian May, John Deacon, and Roger Taylor. There were other bands supporting Queen that day, Status Quo and the wonderful INXS. Was this review helpful? 4 out of 4 found this helpful.
