    Queen at their best

    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.

    To have been there was a privilege

    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!

    "Hello again my Beauties"

    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've seen a fair few bands in the last decade live, but none have come anywhere near to matching rock's royal family.

    Queen were surely the best live band in history, they just seemed to get it so right. Sadly other Queen live videos inc 'Rock in Rio' and 'We Will Rock You' don't do this justice, either too tinny, or dormant audiences, but 'Wembley' is an amazing record of one of their best shows.

    Each band member oozes confidence and ability, Freddie was born to play Wembley and he knew it. The audience clearly know it too and respond with admirable energy to the great singalongs.

    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.

    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!

    BRILLIANT 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.

    One of Queen's Best Concerts!

    "Queen Live at Wembley '86" is one of Queen's best concerts! They deliver an overall amazing show, playing their classic songs and they got a rowdy crowd on top of it all! If you are a huge Queen fan, like I am, I HIGHLY recommend this concert!!

    Storyline

    Edit
    • Trivia
      This is from Queen's famous "Magic Tour", which was their biggest ever world tour and also their final tour with the classic lineup of Freddie Mercury, Brian May, Roger Taylor and John Deacon. Their final concert with Mercury as frontman was soon after this one, at Knebworth Park. Because of Mercury's declining health (he was diagnosed with AIDS the following year), they were never able to tour again.
    • Quotes

      Freddie Mercury: You know something? There's been a lot of rumours lately, about a certain band called Queen. The rumours are that we're going to split up, what do you think?

      [audience yells "No!" and Freddie points at his ass]

      Freddie Mercury: They're talking from here! My apologies, but I say what I want. You can forget those rumours, we're going to stay together until we fucking well die, I assure you.

    • Alternate versions
      The original videotape release is only about an hour long, removing half of the concert. The DVD version not only restores the concert to its full length, but features some footage from the other day Queen performed at Wembley Stadium.
