Live at Wembley '86 [Live] [Original recording remastered]
Editorial Reviews
Amazon.com
Bigger-than-life and proud of it, Queen's tongue-in-cheek pomposity was ironically one of its most endearing charms. This double-disc live album recorded at the band's typically massive 1986 Wembley Stadium stand in support of its A Kind of Magic album is a perfect distillation of the band's overarching intentions--and virtually every '70s/'80s rock cliché punk rebelled against. The tracks may reverberate with the boominess of the punter's paradise they were recorded in, but it's an ambience that underscores the shows' propulsive, populist intent. Latter day hits like "Under Pressure" and "Another One Bites the Dust" may have their nascent club-beat savvy hammered into conformity with thumping rockers like "We Will Rock You" and "Tie Your Mother Down," but then this is as unapologetic as stadium rock gets. Mercury, May, Deacon, and Taylor are in top form throughout, shrewdly building the show into what, given its relatively late recording date in their career, might as well be an emblematic greatest hits live (especially on its brisk-paced second disc) experience. --Jerry McCulley

Queen released several worthy live albums, but what makes Live at Wembley '86 special is the thrill of hearing the band recapturing its powers and its huge audience simultaneously. In the early '80s Queen put out their weakest albums, but their performance in 1985's Live Aid concert reminded them of what they were capable of and of how much their public still loved them. This extended live disc has it all--a nice selection of hits ("Bohemian Rhapsody," "Under Pressure," "We Will Rock You," and "Radio Ga Ga," among others), quality album cuts ("Now I'm Here," "I Want to Break Free"), displays of instrumental wizardry (Brian May's "Brighton Rock" guitar solo), and even some goofing on '50s and '60s rock & roll classics ("Tutti Frutti," "Gimme Some Lovin'"). There's a chilly premonition in Freddie Mercury's declaration that "we're gonna stay together until we die" but some comfort in the fact that his statement was essentially true. Wembley '86 is a fitting last hurrah. --Daniel Durchholz

Another stellar live Queen album which is now Live at Wembley Stadium.......2006-09-13
Queen's Live at Wembley '86 was originally released in June of 1992.
The album was recorded on Queen's final tour with its original lineup at the now demolished old Wembley Stadium on July 12, 1986(the band sold out two nights and could have done a few more Wembley gigs but was not available so it ended at Knebworth Park (which deserves a release for pure historical value)).
Regardless, this is a pretty damn fine show featuring a good mix of (then) new songs(The pulsing opener One Vision, a killer A Kind of Magic, a stunning Who Wants to Live Forever and a great but short Friends Will Be Friends) and classic ones(Tie Your Mother Down, In the Lap of the Gods(revisited), a short Seven Seas of Rhye, Tear it Up with a teaser of Liar), Under Pressure, Another One Bites the Dust, the pulsing I Want to Break Free, Now I'm Here, the acoustic Love of My Life and Is This the World We Created, Bohemian Rhapsody, Hammer to Fall, Crazy Little Thing Called Love, Radio Ga Ga, We Will Rock You and We Are the Champions).
Also, there was a little jam called Impromptu which showcased Freddie's dynamic vocal range and Brian May's 9 minute guitar solo called Brighton Rock Solo.
Also, the band decided to incorporate several 50's-era tunes into one medley (You're So Square(Baby I Don't Care), Hello Mary Lou(although Led Zeppelin did it better on How the West Was Won) and Tutti Fruitti(which was extended on the remastered version of Live at Wembley in 2003)) and also the 40s song Big Spender which was part of the first encore. Certainly it is a slicker package than Live Killers and better than Live Magic but not as great as Queen On Fire Live at the Bowl(which would be released in 2004).
The Live at Wembley '86 album reached #52 on the US charts in 1992 but would eventually go Platinum with a million copies sold in the US over time.
In August of 2003, to coincide with the DVD release of this show, Hollywood Records in the US and Canada re-released Live at Wembley '86 with a new title Live at Wembley Stadium with FOUR BONUS TRACKS including killer versions of A Kind of Magic, Another One Bites the Dust and Crazy Little Thing Called Love from the first Wembley performance July 11, 1986 and Tavasi Szel Vizet Arast from Budapest on July 30, 1986.
This live album is recommended!
Hello again, my beauties!.......2006-07-29
This double CD set features a Queen concert recorded in July, 1986 in England. Queen was not popular in the US anymore by this point, but they were still enormously popular in most of the rest of the world, so much so that they were able to fill a football(soccer) stadium. The concert lasts one hour and 50 minutes. It is a good concert, but not Queen at their best. Freddie Mercury's voice was not what it used to be, due to years of smoking. Sometimes he doesn't bother to sing at all, and lets the audience sing the lyrics, which must have been fun for the people in the audience, but isn't much fun for us. But it's still a pretty good concert, and Queen fans should enjoy it.
Best rock recital.......2005-10-06
If you see my reviews you will discover I like classical music but also a bit of other genres. So for a "classical" like me it is more difficult to appretiate this type of music. An among all rock artists two gems arise above the surface: Beatles and Queen. I mean: many people are not "hard" rock fans. Tell someone who listens just the radio and the hits of the moment to remember something of the stones? Forgive my ignorance but ... will he or she? Then begin to sing he or she "friends to be friends", "love of my life" , "Bohemian Rapsody" or "We are the champions" and surely will remember. For Queen had that unique sense of artistry that made them classics: melody, variety, personality, and trascendence (I still am amazed at the vocal complexity of Bohemian rapsody, coming from a non-classical composer).
What we have here? their last great concert on CD. Perhaps not in best form (Mercury it is not in his vocal prime) but you will listen here to
1- the frisson of a live concert, like other live albums
2- the great benefit is that is a later product than "Live at the Bowl" or "live killers" so you have here all the great hits in a live recital (of course "show must go on" was not composed yet).
To sum up: for Queen fans it is a matter of dispute if it is their best or not; for the begginner like me simply THE way to introduce oneself to Queen (or perhaps Rock) universe.
The worst period.......2004-12-14
While not Live Killers (Queens best live album) this album is not Queens worst live album, that honor falls to Live Magic but this is no Live At The Bowl certainly. The mid 80s Queens final period Live was their worst. Smoking had destroyed Freddies vocals and the band were playing simpler and with more of an offstge/onstage musician and less energy. Their talents were therefore undermined unlike the 70s and even early 80s. Small wonder they stopped touring.
Wish I had a chance to see Queen "live".......2004-10-26
I was never a huge "Queen" fan growing up but as I got older I learned to appreciate this band. We all know the "hits" as we here them on the radio everyday. But, the "live" show? This is an excellent cd release and puts no doubts that Queen could rock any size stadium from start to finish. Highly recommended!

Live triumph.......2002-12-12
Originally released 1992. This concert was held a year after Live Aid, from The Magic Tour. Nobody thought then that it'd be the last. Recommended over "Live Magic". I have the U.S. version, though.
