Album Notes The 2003 edition of LIVE AT WEMBLEY contains bonus tracks. Queen: Freddie Mercury, Brian May, John Deacon, Roger Taylor. Additional personnel: Spike Edney (guitar, keyboards, background vocals).Recorded live at Wembley Stadium, London, England and Nepstadion, Budapest, Hungary in 1986.Originally issued just a few months after Freddie Mercury's untimely death, LIVE AT WEMBLEY '86 is two discs full of Queen at the height of its powers in concert. Perfectly blending popular hits with more obscure album tracks and several vintage 1950s rock & roll covers, WEMBLEY '86 is everything a Queen fan could possibly want from an in-concert release. Recorded at England's massive Wembley Stadium during a stop on their sold-out A KIND OF MAGIC summer tour, the band is heard giving it their all in front of over 150,000 fans during a two-night stand.LIVE AT WEMBLEY '86 proves to be a very consistent set, a worthy successor to Queen's previous double live album, 1979's LIVE KILLERS. All of the band's classic '70s material--"Tie Your Mother Down," "We Will Rock You/We Are the Champions," "Bohemian Rhapsody"--is performed with just as much vigor as their newer cuts--"One Vision," "A Kind of Magic," "Under Pressure," "Another One Bites the Dust." And it's a gas to hear Queen have some fun with spirited renditions of '50s standards--"Tutti Frutti," "(You're So Square) Baby I Don't Care," and "Hello Mary Lou (Goodbye Heart)." | |||||||||||||

Report this review Queen's performance at Live Aid in 1985 eclipsed every other act on the bill and revitalised their career (not that they had been unsuccessful prior to it). This concert at Wembley Stadium the following year is another incendiary performance showcasing a good selection of their hit singles including 'Bohemian Rhapsody', 'Another One Bites The Dust', 'Radio Ga Ga', 'Crazy Little Thing Called Love', 'One Vision' and 'We Are The Champions' among others. It also features the David Bowie collaboration 'Under Pressure', an accoustic medley of cover versions and a few pleasant surprises (such as 'In The Lap Of The Gods' from 1974s 'Sheer Heart Attack' album). Freddie Mercury has to be one of the most exuberant and charismatic performing artists ever, and although I don't like all the tracks on this album the only real sour point for me is when Freddie announces to the audience that 'Queen will stay together until they f**king well die', which was to prove horribly prophetic. Sadly I have to admit that while I liked Queen's 1970s output, some of their 1980s material (such as, for example 'Friends Will Be Friends') made me wince at the time. It wasn't until the Freddie Mercury tribute concert following his death in 1991, when a procession of performers attempted to sing his songs, that I truly realised what a great singer/performer he was (my respect for George Michael as a singer increased from none to lots during this show as well). If you own no Queen albums you could do much worse than this one. Lots of great music played with vitality at a show where the audience are obviously loving every minute of it. RIP Freddie.

Report this review Review created: 01/08/06 by: Queen are one of those bands that sound far better live than recorded, this album contains all their most well known tracks with that little extra magic that only freddie Mercury can produce. Having had the dvd of the concert for some time I wanted the audio version for the car. I would highly reccomend both versions for this concert Review ID: 10000000001464553 Was this review helpful?
