The sound of the guitars here is so much better than the other day on Wembley. Brian here is not too overtreble. Also liked he played the pre-solo in the key of C instead of just riffing he did the other day. So this version is my favorite of two 86 Wembleys

I was a 70's/80's kid and kind of always took Queen for granted. It's funny how you never know when you are seeing true greatness until they are gone. This is simply godlike.

Dave Rindone - Dave I couldn't have said it better as to your view Queen and their level of "GOD LIKE GREATNESS." I was born in 1975 and man through the 80s did I EVER take this genius group for granted and had I had a chance to go back ... I would have FOUND a way to see Queen ... now Freddie and the band are my absolute favourite rock group... love you Freddie .... a true Music God... 🙏🏻

I really loved the way Freddie said - “ hammer to fall “ at the beginning ❤️

Brian is so gorgeous when he smiles.

Wow I love this clip of Hammer to fall with the Spikey Guitar playing at 2:00 , Brilliant perfomance, Brought a tear to eyes as he creep up behind Brian May, This great performance goes down in History in my books, Freddie is the King of Rock n Roll.

I am a huge Led Zeppelin fan and love Robert Plant but IMO there will probably NEVER be a front as good as Freddie Mercury. He was simply a showman extraordinaire!

Mister Edney really does have the look of someone who's like, "Wow, I'm on stage with QUEEN." This is not a bad thing, by the way. Though if he'd known he'd be playing with at least two of these guys for over twenty years...

Hammer to Fall has alot of places to rest. Check the Radio Gaga performance, he isn't singing many of the high notes he usually did, even compared to live aid just a year prior. He also seems to sound a bit stuffy on some of the notes there as well. It is on the back end of the concert though, so non-HIV related fatigue would be in play by that point and make him seem worse than he actually felt.

Magnific song the band the rock Queen

@@rickysld I saw them 4 times, all in St. Louis, USA Queen - Sheet Heart Attack Tour 1975 Queen - A Night at the Opera 1976 Queen - Day at the Races 1977 Queen - Jazz Tour 1978 The first time was the most impressive during their Sheer Heart Attack Tour. If you watch the “Live At The Rainbow '74” or the 1975 “A Night At The Odeon“ DvDs, they sounded a lot like that. The version of “Seven Seas Of Rhye” on the 1974 DvD comes closest to what I remember. Perhaps the best concert I’ve ever been terms of performance and sound. Freddie’s voice was great, almost unbelievable. Brian May is the most consistently great rock guitar player I’ve ever seen live. More so than Jimmy Page for sure, who sounded awful when I saw Zep in ’77 in the same arena I saw Queen perform at. They were so good live that rock magazines at the time hinted at rumors that Queen was lip-syncing to tape, but there is no evidence of that. They did however leave the stage during the middle part of “Bohemian Rhapsody” because that is too complicated to do live. I think they were at their peak for live performances during the mid 1970s: Queen- Seven Seas of Rhye (Live 1974): kzread.info/dash/bejne/ZWyszaZ6j7Sforg.html Queen - Keep Yourself Alive (Live At The Rainbow): kzread.info/dash/bejne/qXamxJKjebWYj5s.html

Yeah, he was added when Freddie wanted to do more straight-up vocals in shows, and run around more. It's weird, actually, because touring members of bands _never_ get focused on. From Chuck Leavell and Daryl Jones of the Stones to whoever that was playing in the back of the Neon Trees concert that wasn't Chris Allen when I saw them live, nobody calls attention to people that aren't big names and aren't main members of the band. (That performance also had me going, "Wow, Elaine is so MASCULINE today", and it was the third song before Tyler said "oh, by the way, Elaine's taking maternity leave" and I don't remember if he even said the guy's name.)
