This double cd brings the best of queen's apperance at wembley stadium in 1986.
you can quite easily sit down, turn up your hi-fi and spend an afternoon lost in this concert,The sound is excellant and the performance is by one of the greatest live acts ever and you can hear why, get the video and you can see why.
If you like queen this should already be in your collection as it is far superior to the previous live killers from the 1970s, If you like the bands big songs like bohemian rhapsody, we are the champions, a kind of magic etc each are performed brilliantly but this concert does includes some of the groups older and less known songs but most are great and contrast well against the newer songs.

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.

I decided to buy this item after seeing the concert on VH1. I love Queen anyway, and it was such a bargain on ebay it was worth the money. The CDs arrived quickly and were in good condition.
