Product Description: Bigger-than-life and proud of it, Queen's tongue-in-cheek pomposity was ironically one of its most endearing charms. This double-disc live album recorded at the band's typically massive 1986 Wembley Stadium stand in support of its A Kind of Magic album is a perfect distillation of the band's overarching intentions--and virtually every '70s/'80s rock cliché punk rebelled against. The tracks may reverberate with the boominess of the punter's paradise they were recorded in, but it's an ambience that underscores the shows' propulsive, populist intent. Latter day hits like "Under Pressure" and "Another One Bites the Dust" may have their nascent club-beat savvy hammered into conformity with thumping rockers like "We Will Rock You" and "Tie Your Mother Down," but then this is as unapologetic as stadium rock gets. Mercury, May, Deacon, and Taylor are in top form throughout, shrewdly building the show into what, given its relatively late recording date in their career, might as well be an emblematic greatest hits live (especially on its brisk-paced second disc) experience. --Jerry McCulley

What a concert !
Incredible recording sound quality ! I love the background sound, cheering throughout the concert. When you're down and out, don't miss the second CD, it will restore your energy !

Was this necessary ?
Queen has officially released five live CD's (Live killers, Fire at the bowl, Rocks Montreal, Live magic & Wembley) This one was released originally only in Europe and took some time before it ever saw an official release in the USA. The members of Queen have given varied and conflicting reasons why they never returned to the USA for a concert tour, but that's beside the point. This CD sounds good and some of their performances border on spectacular, but the songs presented here are for the most part weak. They were promoting their "A kind of magic" CD which curiously they only performed four songs from that offering. No big deal. I consider that album their absolute worse and incredibly boring CD of their catalog.
You can tell the audiences at Wembley were certainly enthusiastic and very much appreciated their performance. The problem I have with this CD is the song selection. The tunes from "A kind of magic" are sub-par at best, but they sound edgier here. The oldies melody is a complete waste of time. With their wealth of past material to choose from why do something ridiculous like that? and did we really need yet another extended guitar solo from Brian May included again?
This is not their best concert performance. Of all five live CD's; their best performance can be found on "Fire at the bowl" but you'll have to put up with the lame songs from "Hot Space"
I'm sure their fans in Europe really clamored for this concert were Queen could do no wrong, but here in the USA this was unnecessary.

Queen's last live concert
This was an amazing performance by Queen, and sadly the bands second last. It starts out with One Vision, and includes some of my favorite Queenhits of all time such as the rock opera masterpiece In The Lap Of The Gods, Seven Seas Of Rhye, Bohemian Rhapsody, and Now I'm Here. They also do a smashing rendition of Crazy Little Thing Called Love, Radio Gaga, Under Pressure and I Want To Break Free, and Is This The World We Created, among others.
Also included some tongue in cheek renditions of some old 50's hits like (You're So Square) Baby I Don't Care, Hello Mary Lou (Goodbye Heart), and Tutti Frutti.
I wish the band had actually sung Brighton Rock, instead of making it just a guitar instrumental. I know Brian May is one of the best guitarists ever, but Brighton Rock is actually one of my favorite songs, and that's whatI wanted to hear , not just the background guitar music to the song.
Peronally, I don't think it is quite as good as Live Killers.
Nonetheless it was a fantastic concert, by one of the best bands ever.
