Live at Wembley 25th Anniversary [DVD] [2011]

Brilliant DVD

The media could not be loaded. I've been a huge fan of Queen since A Night at The Opera was first released. Friends say , why buy it when you can stream it ? Because there isn't any relying on the Internet, a decent signal etc. Worth buying in my opinion. Absolutely fantastic.

Brilliant DVD of Queen live in concert at Wembly a MUST for Queen Fans

This limited edition dvd has both 1986 Wembley concerts, I had only ever seen the Saturday one. What can you say about Freddie Mercury, such an amazing artist who was taken far too soon. He had such a presence on the stage. I really enjoyed it. Also has some bonus material, back stage etc. if you are a music fan, it’s definitely one for your collection.

So many memories of an incredible day.

As the title suggests, I was another one of these huge Queen fans who thought "here we ago, another remaster/repackaging effort I'll feel obliged to buy, with a couple of extras". And there's some truth in that. However, I thought for £10.99 I may as well give it a punt. I'm glad I did. It's true that the extras are limited if you already own the 2003 edition but for the hardcore fan there are still a few bits of interest. The main reason for buying this was the Friday night concert, and I reckon that's why most people will buy it (who are big Queen fans). Indeed the camera work is a bit wobbly (as expected), but the performance still shines through. And I find some of the alternative camera angles on the Friday night more enjoyable, particularly the handheld effort covering Roger in the early part of the gig. Sonically speaking (on a technical level), I find this better than the Saturday night gig - it seems punchier and heavier on the bass, which lets John's bass lines stand out better. The Saturday night gig sounds a bit more echoey and not as intimate to my ears. I read also that they'd remixed the audio on the Saturday night sound and indeed on comparing it to the 2003 release it does sound slightly crisper although this could be imagined on my part. The actual performance from Friday varies in quality and I'd say Saturday is more consistent overall. Another one Bites the Dust is a good example. On Friday night it's a bit freer and John particularly excels in the middle part. It's rougher than the Saturday night show but more enjoyable overall to listen to. And that about sums it up for me. The Saturday night gig will be familiar to Queen fans, I've watched it many, many times so the Friday night gig is a godsend and I'll watch it many times too. In my opinion it has better audio, and is more relaxed. To sum up, if you're a hardcore Queen fan such as I, you'll have the inevitable reservations at another rerelease but I'd say it's worth it for the 90 minute Friday night gig alone. 4 stars if you already have the 2003 version. If you're newish to Queen I'd say it's worth 5 stars (especially at this price), and would wholeheartedly recommend it. Truly one of the best live bands ever in great form, playing their biggest hits.

Was a present and was happy with it

great dvd

El mejor concierto de toda la vida

Sem dúvida um dos melhores DVDs da banda juntamente com Live in Montreal! Imperdível!

Helemaal naar verwachting.

Hay conciertos grabados en mejor calidad porque se grabaron con cámaras de cine y película, pero independientemente de eso es un gran concierto, de mis favoritos junto rock Montreal y el live aid. La edición del DVD es buena y la calidad de imagen también, ya que se conserva la imagen entrelazada(las películas prefiero verlas en 24fps , pero los conciertos y la tv me gusta mas ver la imagen fluida.) y se ve genial este concierto. En este concierto Freddie, tiene la voz un poco tocada por los nódulos pero aun así las canciones suenan genial y hacen que sea un concierto diferente solo por esto.

This is a 2 Disc DVD set of the Friday and Saturday performances at Wembley Stadium in London, England of Queen's second-to-last live performances. They only did one more show after this one - at Knebworth. Freddie Mercury is just superb, as are ALL the members of Queen. All four of these men were musical geniuses. Roger Taylor and Brian May would have been the lead singers and front men in any other band but Queen. Freddie Mercury's vocal versatility was just phenomenal. Sometimes, it was hard to believe that such diverse sounds were coming out of the same human being. All four of these men were so multi-talented, they could have been solo "super stars" in their own right, but when they came together as Queen, something "magic" happened. Best rock band of all time! I already own a copy of this concert, and I like it so much, I bought this copy for my granddaughter for Christmas. She's only 9, but she just LOVES Queen - she sings along to my CD's in the car when I'm taking her to appointments, etc. She's gonna LOVE her Christmas present.
