About this deal

Also this is upscaled SD, not true HD, and this is shown by the fact that there is a 3 disc DVD version and 1 disc BR version.

In any case the concert is great, wonderful to relive it, however as I suspected, it is not complete. The "Cabaret" star singing the sports anthem "We Are the Champions" with a rock band in a stadium filled with 72,000 people? In a true testament to Freddie's immense talent, every guest vocalist had to have the key of the songs changed to suit their voices as they could not replicate the range of Mercury's. Queen were joined by some of the greatest musical talent in the world to celebrate Freddie’s life and work and to increase public awareness of AIDS, the disease that had prematurely ended his life the previous year.We use cookies to give you the best possible experience on our site, provide personalised content and advertising, analyse our traffic, and ensure you see more of what you love. Queen guitarist Brian May sings the first verse with Def Leppard frontman Joe Elliott coming in for the rest. Certain items can take longer to source than the estimated week, particularly during busy trading periods and may take longer to arrive at our warehouse. This version excludes Extreme's "Love of My Life" and "More Than Words", Def Leppard's "Animal" and "Let's Get Rocked", Spinal Tap, U2 and Mango Groove from the opening acts segment of the show, and Robert Plant's "Innuendo" from the Queen+ segment of the show.

UK crooner Paul Young (who had a big hit in America with "Everytime You Go Away") immediately follows May's song with the crowd pleasing "Radio Ga Ga". While we do our best to provide good quality books for you to read, there is no escaping the fact that it has been owned and read by someone else before you. In May 2020, Queen announced that they would be premiering the concert on YouTube to raise money for the COVID-19 Solidarity Response Fund. Finally, a small section is devoted to the promotion of The Mercury Phoenix Trust and Queen's official web site Queenonline.

Now for the first time both halves of the concert are being made available on DVD along with additional bonus material in this special edition release. The profits from the concert were used to launch the Mercury Phoenix Trust, an AIDS charity organization. After comparing it to the full screen VHS release, I found very little was masked, the DVD was framed *very* well. Freddie Mercury – pre-recorded piano and vocals (on " Bohemian Rhapsody") and compilation of various interactions with the audience during the section before the Queen + section of the concert.

But also the calmer moments with among others Paul Young ("Radio Ga Ga"), David Bowie and Eurythmics-singer Annie Lennox ("Under Pressure"), Elton John ("Bohemian Rhapsody", "The Show Must Go On") and very special George Michael ("'39", "These Are The Days Of Our Life", "Somebody To Love") do convince.I was lucky enough to be at the event all those years back (as well as the last Wembley concert and Knebworth) and dearly wish the producers at the time had the foresight to film this with 35mm cameras so we could enjoy the full spectacle in HD but, alas, this was not to be. the Queen + David Bowie performances of the songs "All the Young Dudes" and "'Heroes '" were released on the soundtrack album to the 2018 film Beside Bowie: The Mick Ronson Story. On April 20th, 1992 some of the greatest musical talent in the world gathered at London's famed Wembley Stadium to pay tribute to Freddie Mercury who died on 24 November 1991. I'm not a huge fan of Cherone's voice and his maniacal stage performance that night was a bit off putting. For me one of the key benefits of the release is the pop-up menu meaning you can go to any track from the opening bands (Guns and Roses Paradise City perhaps) to one of the Queen tracks (anything with George Michael - 39.
