Queen: Live at Wembley Stadium
Short description
Queen: Live at Wembley Stadium captures the British rock band Queen performing at London's Wembley Stadium on 12 July 1986, during the European leg of their Magic Tour. The concert film presents the group playing a set built from their best-known songs before a capacity crowd, returning to the venue where they had appeared at Live Aid the previous year. Freddie Mercury handles vocals, piano and guitar, joined by Brian May on guitars, Roger Taylor on drums, John Deacon on bass and Spike Edney on keyboards.
The film runs 110 minutes and was directed by Gavin Taylor, with Rhys Thomas and Simon Lupton producing for Channel 4 Television and Queen Films. It documents a stadium show staged about a year after the band's Live Aid appearance and stands as one of the group's major concert releases from that era of their career.
Audience response has been strong: on IMDb the film holds 9.1 out of 10 from roughly 2,900 votes, while on TMDB it sits at 8.5 out of 10 from about 175 votes. The much larger IMDb sample and its higher average point to a devoted following that rates this concert recording very highly, with the smaller TMDB group broadly in agreement.
What's left behind the scenes
- The concert was filmed using video cameras, which was quite unusual for professional concert filming – in the 1980s, film cameras were used for this purpose.
- The concert at London's Wembley Stadium took place in July 1986. It was part of the Magic Tour, the band's largest world tour in support of the album 'A Kind of Magic' and the final tour of the classic lineup, which included Freddie Mercury (1946-1991), Brian May, Roger Taylor, and John Deacon. The final concert featuring Mercury took place shortly thereafter near the village of Nabworth in Hertfordshire (one of the UK's primary venues for large-scale open-air pop and rock concerts). A year later, Mercury was diagnosed with AIDS, and the band stopped touring.
