I seem to recall they had some dodgy Hells Angel type security in place and I can clearly remember the incident you refer to. Some lad was running full pelt on the pitch to get to the stage and this monster stuck his arm out and 'clotheslined' him and nearly took his head off. His head is probably still spinning!

One things for sure you would have ahell of a shock if you woke up one moning and opend your curtains to find a huge yellow member of queen had landed in the garden. Seeing those photos kinda brings it all back and makes you realise what a bloody long time ago it was:-( still when you watch the dvds of this tour it really dosnt look its age imo.

Yes, that was it.The Hells Angel guy, with beard.. you must have been stood quite close to where I was. I was stood to the left of the stage, in the terraces, quite close to where that lad climbed the fence & got dropped on the pitch.

I sure was in the Kippax Stand. Apart from the show, my other great memory of the day was being stood outside the ground waiting to get in, and they switched on the PA and played Sledgehammer by Peter Gabriel. There was quite a bit of concern by locals and the Council that the gig was going to be too loud. Having seen Queen at The NEC in 1984 and come away pretty deaf for a couple of days, I was worried the sound would not be loud enough for a rock concert, but these fears were allayed when I heard Sledgehammer vibrating around the ground from the outside. The gig wasn't as loud as The NEC, but it was loud enough. Amazing day, apart from Belouis Some!!!
Queen Productions missed a trick that day, as they could have filmed a shot panning over the terraced houses of Moss Side into the ground for the start of I Want To break Free.......missed opportunity there!

For those wondering what happened to the Freddie inflatable which escaped from Wembley, here's a link to the story at Brian's site. Scroll down the page and you'll see it...
I'm sure some sadistic bastard is using John Deacon's inflatable as a sex doll.

LOL. Funniest thing I've read in a while.
I'd completely forgotten about these inflatable things too, I hadn't watched Wembley for aages. Guess I was influenced by the general aversion to it some people here have. Still, those balloons are such a bizarre and amusing idea.
Can anyone tell me where they were released from?

If I remember correctly, two of them were up close near the stage, and the other two were down by the tent.

Is not aversion but, having Budapest, what's the point of listening to Wembley? The mix is really horrible, and Queen were better in Budapest.
