of course, at the time this show took place, i was only 6 and living in ceausescu's communist romania, so there was no chance i could've been there. but ever since i can remember listening to music, i always wished for a time machine in order to be able to go back in time to that concert. queen is, in my opinion, the greatest band there ever was. i might not listen to them as much as i used to, but they're still number one in my book, and whenever i put on one of their songs, my heart resonates. that being said, i'm obviously a bit subjective saying this, but it is beyond my power to understand how anyone could rate this anything else than 10. much less a 2. incomprehensible. i would really love to listen to what they have to say. if anyone who rated this less than say 7 reads my review, please let me know why you considered this to be under par. back to the concert, it is amazing. freddie is most probably at his best, although his live career was quickly approaching it's end. what a shame it is that freddie died i needn't say. let's just try to enjoy the extraordinary music they all have created, and be happy we have that.

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.

no doubt this concert is magnificent and always will be it's immortal classical concert.Queen change the image of hard rock.Freddie is one of great rock singer ever.my favorite queen songs are "Bicyle Race","Bohemain Rhapsody","Don't Stop Me Now","A Kind Of Magic" and other great songs.Queen was definitely one of leading band in 70s and 80s no doubt.even Led Zeppelin wasn't so great than Queen.Brian May one of the greatest guitarist ever.england will never see anybody like Freddie Mercury.David Bowie is without a question good too,but so good than Freddie.Queen change the image of rock. even Alice Cooper isn't so great than Queen.Queen is one of the greatest rock bands ever.

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.
