Queen - Live at Wembley Stadium

Although it was taped in 1986, the home video Live at Wembley '86 was not released in the U.K. until 1990, and not in the U.S. until '92. Containing almost the exact same track listing as Live in Budapest (also recorded on the '86 A Kind of Magic tour) and released as a CD under the same name, Live at Wembley captures Queen at a homecoming stop on their final tour. While the huge football stadium served as the concert grounds for some of Queen's most important performances (1985's Live Aid and 1992's posthumous, star-studded tribute to Freddie Mercury), this '86 set was the band's only true full-length concert at the venue. The bombastic rock of "One Vision" starts the show off in fine fashion, and is soon followed by many Queen classics -- "In the Lap of the Gods," "A Kind of Magic," "Under Pressure," "Radio Ga Ga," "Bohemian Rhapsody," and more. Also included is a fun cover of the '50s standard "Tutti Frutti," while the only track on Wembley that isn't included on Budapest turns out to be their 1980 dance hit "Another One Bites the Dust." Live at Wembley is an excellent live document of latter-day era Queen. ~ Greg Prato, All Music Guide
