this wembly show is queen at their finest. i saw them in kansas city 1984(?) and sat in the back of kemper arena right in the center just above stage height. the best place too get the full sound affect. i also got the privlidge to sit down with roger john and brian at the crown royal hotel before sound check and chat with them for about an hour drinking whisky sours. freddy wasnt around as always (according to them).after that show i was hooked because of the incredible lighting and brian mays guiter genius. i went out and bought all the albums. (the old stuff is the best). this dvd concert shows queen dressed as pro-musicians and not in stupid outfits like on some of the vids theyve done before. the color selection of white and yellow with red strips clothing perfectly matched their music. i did not like the interviews they spliced in the middle of the show......all it did was give me an excuse to go to the john. also i never could figure out......why john deacon just stands there...like hes not part of the band. i wish he couldve been more buddy buddy and into the music with the rest of the band. (maybe its because he didnt get to write most of the music?) queen music is magically done of coarse but......is roger taylor really the best drummer in the world?...hardly not. he just seems to carry the beat. (but he does have a cool drum solo during the concert). all in all this show is one of my favs and i will never get bored of it. its one of those concerts you have to watch if youve just got heavy bills to pay or you just wrecked yer car. this concert will certainly bring you out of depression right from the beginning. its a very uplifting and musically stimulating show. they should have left out the song delilah. (song about freddys cat?). during the middle of the song Bohemian Rhapsody they all vanish from stage and let the tape play the chorus parts. great concert!
