Being quite a Queen fan but never having had the chance to see them live, I jump at the opportunity to see one of their concerts on DVD.
It's great to see a straight forward rock concert with just the four band members on stage.
It is definitely the best live performance I have seen from Freddie, and of course the rest of the band rocks.....
Picture quality and 4:3 leaves a bit to be desired, but hey it was the 80's.
The 5.1 mix is great.
A concert not to be missed.

I first watched this on video with my cousin, then found the DVD, and had to have it!! It shows Queen well at the peak of perfection. Every song sounded great. I have been a Queen fan for most of my life and miss Freddie's talent and his unique voice.
Queen are quite simply the best rock group ever. "WE Will Rock You" is one example of how good Queen really were. Performed in the early 80's this concert rocks so much. I've been a Queen fan all my life and this concert has always been one of my favorites but I still think Queens "Live at Wembley 86" was their best concert.
Freddie Mercury, Brian May, Roger Taylor and John Deacon, brung the house down in this brilliant concert, Queen are real quality.
9.5/10.

I thoroughly enjoyed this concert. If you want something a little more polished, view "Rock in Rio" or "Live in Wembley". This concert certainly demonstrates the dynamic vocals of Freddie Mercury aided by a brilliant band consisting of Roger Taylor, Brian May, and John Deacon.
This is an arena concert performed in Montreal in the early 80's. At the time, Queen were riding high on the success of their album The Game; their peak of popularity in North America. The problem is, the crowd isn't as responsive as European crowds, and if you watch Live at Wembley '86 or listen to Live Killers, you'll see how into the show the crowd can be. So on this level, the crowd disappoints, because it seems they are there because Queen is the band of the day. Nonetheless, their popular anthems get a good spark from the crowd, and the performance is great because you get some songs performed live that were taken out of the set on later tours. So if you're in it for the music, this is a great show. If you want to see a huge concert, go to Wembley.
