Knebworth at 28

Knebworth happened 28 years ago today share any thoughts and stories about the last Queen concert with Freddie Mercury

For me, the only memorable thing from that concert is Rogers drumming during the impromptu. The good stuff starting around the two minute mark.

I fixed your link.

Cheers mate.

On a side note: Freddies falsetto seems to be in unusually bad shape here, it has a hoarse sound to it and he never goes above Eb5.

Freddie introducing Another one bites the dust. "This next song calls for a boogie. It means i through my CUNT around the stage even more than i 've done."
Is it me or he took it to another level, even for his own standards?

It's a great show, and historic for obvious reasons. But Budapest is a far better performance overall.

That said - the sea of hands in Ga Ga must have been a marvelous sight.

I respectfully disagree with you mr wizard

With what exactly? I think he described it pretty much spot on.

Ok forgive me for my ignorance

Ahhh! 28 years already, i hope they release this concert before i die. I would love to listen to it. They could add to the release any footage from that day available and a double CD.

I ve never been a great fun of Budapest.

For my point of view Knebworth has more grip as a gig. U can hear how the energy of the band runs in the first 2 songs..c´mon..do u want compare with Budapest ?
Under pressure and aOBTD just amazing.

Budapest is already an highlight itself because they play to a sell out crowd in eastern europe.. with all the meanings behind. They decide to register the show also because it was much cheap compare to western europe.

For me as a performance Mannheim for example is superior

My point of view..

Last queen concert. You were the best Freddie!

He was

I was there that day, was just shy of my 16th birthday. We had been to St James the month before, and had been turned down for Wembley tickets, so this was a real bonus.

Highlights were the roadie on the top of the stage during Status Quo, a massive bottle fight, which brought out Harvey Goldsmith to call for calm, Big Country were also really good. That other bloke, Belouis Some or something, was absolutely crap.

Queen themselves were great, although it was very different to St James, cos I was right at the front then, this time much further back, so a much more muted atmosphere. I remember Freddie saying, even for Queen, this was massive, and a 'Freddie, Freddie' chant when Brian was trying to talk.

After the gig, we couldn't find the bus we came on, the car park was massive, but got there eventually, but waited for about 3 hours as the police were searching each bus, as a lad at the front was stabbed.

Overall, didn't realise the significance of the gig at the time, who would, otherwise I'd have taken many more photos than I did.

^^^^^^ Is it okay to ask you to share some of the pics you took? That would be just terrific!
