Watch Queen: Live at Wembley Stadium For Free

To me, this movie is perfection.

The performances transcend the film's tropes, grounding it in characters that feel more complete than this subgenre often produces.

Fun premise, good actors, bad writing. This film seemed to have potential at the beginning but it quickly devolves into a trite action film. Ultimately it's very boring.

True to its essence, the characters remain on the same line and manage to entertain the viewer, each highlighting their own distinctive qualities or touches.

After the Flash Gordon film, Queen had a slight dip, not helped with the negative publicity of breaking a UN embargo and playing in South Africa. Rather an inept move considering Freddie Mercury was of Indian origin and he would not have total freedom in South Africa because of his colour and ethnicity. Of course Queen were not the only entertainers from the world of arts and sports to do this. Pro celebrity sanctions busting was a popular event in the 1970s and 1980s.However post Live Aid and the songs from their new album, many of which featured in the film Highlander they were at their peak.Freddie was probably diagnosed HIV positive when this concert was filmed and they never toured again. Being back at Wembley playing new and old songs, a year after Live Aid, you can sense the electric atmosphere, the band are on an extra mission to entertain.

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.

its hard to believe its 17 years since queen performed this last live concert, and at the time nobody knew this would be the final opportunity to experience queen performing on stage. the set songs are a great mixture of early and more recent peices,and the quality of production, both visual and audio is very good. if you were never lucky enough to have been to a queen concert, buy this dvd, its the next best thing to having been there.

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.
