Queen Rock Montreal

A terrific document of the band at the height of their powers - inevitably I'd have preferred to have seen it in the cinema, on an IMAX screen. But even on my own TV it's spirit-lifing, life-improving stuff. Freddie really is at the top of his game here as a front man, and he exhibits his soaring voice to beautiful effect ... also showing off the benefits of his opera training by repeatedly fitting more words intelligibly into one breath than should be humanly possible. The only down side is that directors of these films really should remember in the edit that I, like most other concert-goers, never left a gig thinking 'Gee, those drum solos should have been longer.' See also a couple of other noodly instrumental passages. Otherwise, highly enjoyable.

Queen Rock Montreal offers a captivating glimpse into the electrifying live performances of one of rock music's most influential bands. Filmed in Montreal in 1981, the concert showcases Queen's exceptional musicianship and legendary stage charisma. This IMAX remastered release boasts pristine sound quality, transporting viewers to the heart of the concert experience. Queen Rock Montreal is a must-see for fans of the band and classic rock aficionados alike. It serves not only as a document of a phenomenal concert but also as a testament to Queen's enduring legacy and influence on popular music.

I saw this in glorious IMAX on Friday 1/19. It was unbelievable! The remastered concert footage in high definition (4K I assume) was fantastic. It looks like it was filmed only recently. The sound was also out of this world. You could really feel the thundering drums and bass as if you're watching live in person. And the performance? What's there to say? Freddie Mercury was at the top of his game. An absolutely gifted performer with a beautiful voice. Brian May's guitar playing was also awesome. There were certain guitar effects that he used that would pan through out the the theater. Mezmerizing! To say that this IMAX presentation was amazing is an understatement. I was so floored by experience that my wife (who also loved it 😁) and I went back and saw it again 2 days later. Do yourself a favor. If you gat a chance to see it in IMAX, don't pass it up.

I envy the people who were there. Such an amazing experience. Freddy's voice is at its peak at that time and spine chilling! Thanks to the people who restored this to perfection. The colours, the close ups and the quality of the music is out of this world! I'm a fairly new fan only for the past 10 years or so but I saw Queen in Toronto in 2016 with Adam Lambert which was amazing but I have to say seeing Freddy perform like this he's in a league of it's own! Compared to the music today ( Taylor Swift comes to mind) I can actually hear the words and there is melody I can remember! I'm going to put on my stereo earphones again and keep watching on my big screen!

I was initially expecting a low-quality concert recording, but guys... this was nothing short of amazing! From the opening notes to the very last seconds, Queen's performance was absolutely electrifying. Each song was delivered with incredible energy and precision, showcasing why they are considered one of the greatest rock bands of all time. The production quality was superb, making it feel as if I was right there in the audience. I am immensely grateful to everyone who contributed to bringing this iconic performance to us. Watching this made me realize just how much I missed out on never having the chance to see them live. Truly a masterpiece and a must-watch for any Queen fan!
