Queen's most famous concert was also one of their last. But Freddy's deteriorating health is not evident yet. He's doing his manic entertainer shtick to perfection... and his voice seldom trembles.Even if you're not into the band's pompous hymns and rock anthems, the formidable play list, mixing some of their biggest hits with lesser known songs and rarities, including a short, but electrifying stroll through the Rock'n'Roll era, offers enough diversion. And those guys surely could stir the masses.Unfortunately, the direction is terribly pedestrian and unimaginative. 6 out of 10 guitar players with yellow hot pants *shudder*

no doubt this concert is magnificent and always will be it's immortal classical concert.Queen change the image of hard rock.Freddie is one of great rock singer ever.my favorite queen songs are "Bicyle Race","Bohemain Rhapsody","Don't Stop Me Now","A Kind Of Magic" and other great songs.Queen was definitely one of leading band in 70s and 80s no doubt.even Led Zeppelin wasn't so great than Queen.Brian May one of the greatest guitarist ever.england will never see anybody like Freddie Mercury.David Bowie is without a question good too,but so good than Freddie.Queen change the image of rock. even Alice Cooper isn't so great than Queen.Queen is one of the greatest rock bands ever.

I've had this on VHS for ages, and last year upgraded to the excellent new DVD, what can I say, it is simply amazing. I've seen a fair few bands in the last decade live, but none have come anywhere near to matching rock's royal family.Queen were surely the best live band in history, they just seemed to get it so right. Sadly other Queen live videos inc 'Rock in Rio' and 'We Will Rock You' don't do this justice, either too tinny, or dormant audiences, but 'Wembley' is an amazing record of one of their best shows.Each band member oozes confidence and ability, Freddie was born to play Wembley and he knew it. The audience clearly know it too and respond with admirable energy to the great singalongs. Too many highlights to mention but Fred's majestic voice, Rogers pounding drumming, John's foundation threatning bass and Brian magical guitar work combine to create the ultimate live treat.How I wish I'd been there, but I was only 9!There are some half decent pretenders out there but no-one can and probably will come close to Queen live, now that's magic!

Do you ever wonder what it would be like to dominate a 100,000 people? How about a 100,000 wet, cold people? There will not be another Freddy Mercury, nor for that matter another Queen. If you think this this is an unreasonable critique, check out the DVD for yourself. After that, check out the double live CD that followed their Live Aid performance. I believe the comment that Live Aid Promoter Bob Geldof said as he was given a $1million cheque was `Who has their sound together?' It was Queen. Stadium Rock was for the most part crap for those of us who were there. Long live Freddy!!!
