and isn't Zagreb (where Queen played in 79) part of croatia?

if so then although Yugoslavia was behind the curtain - it is also accepted tht Croatia (although part of Yugoslavia) has always enjoyed a little more freedom - european packahe holidays have been available in Dubrovnik for 30 years


Of course it is, it is the capital of Croatia. Yes, Queen played here in '79, but still I wouldn't say we enjoyed "more freedom" as you said.. You might get that impression cause among the ex Yu countires Croatia always had the most developed tourism, mainly because of Dalmatia and our Adriatic sea. But it was the double side razor at the same time cause through the history someone always wanted to take it away from us (Italy, Serbia, Hungary, Slovenia etc etc.) and in the end it led to the last war where we finally got our independence. If we ever enjoyed any more freedom than the rest, I doubt any of this would've happen in the first place.

Back to the topic, I like Budapest more cause Freddie sang better, his voice was in better shape than at Wembley and the whole band looked more "together"... but anyway, both gigs were great!


E lijepo si mu rekla ;o) (Sorry everyone, a small joke on Croatian)

Well I've seen Budapest at the cinema on the big screen and it looks AWESOME!

Somehow I don't think Wembley blown up to a cinema screen will look to hot!

well my opinion is:-

Budapest is great cos i know its dubbed but sounds great, looks fantastic, Wembley i think could be dubbed a little more cos you cant hear drums very well, treble mainly. but they are both equally brilliant. almost impossible to choose!

Sadly, both shows display the complete lack of versatility in that band by that point. teh set lists were stale and boring, with the same solos played in exactly the same way - and pretty much the same things said to the audiences each time.

What IS a shame is that the first night of the Wembley shows wasn't filmed properly - now that was twice the show that ANY of the filmed shows were. The guys were genuinely thrilled to be back in London and Brian specifically was in awesome form.


I don't agree about them being boring with their sound, in fact they really changed a lot of their songs on that tour- AKOM was given a Rolling Stones type feel to it- very agressive and rock based. I Want To break Free and Another One Bites The Dust were also much heavier than in the studio so you are very wrong in that respect.

However, I do agree about the setlist. The Works setlist was much better because it balanced old and new. Then Queen discarded Killer Queen, Somebody To Love, Death On Two Legs, Dragon Attack and Keep Yourslef Alive and replaced them with 1950s songs. There is no comparison. Why did Freddie seem so reluctant to do piano- based songs? They should have thrown more early ones in like White Queen or DOTL. It was a disgrace that Somebody To Love was dropped.

I'd say it was because he wanted to roam around more.

Yes, I think that's a fair point.

Even though Wembley is important for Queen fans, because of the magnitude of the event in England, Budapest is a better show. A couple of reasons is because they finally were able to play behind the iron curtain in Budapest. Queen's music that Hungarians actually would have at their homes were imported from then Yugoslavia, so seeing them was even more magical and secondly as far as Freddie's voice; it was better at Budapest. I'm not knocking Wembley at all, because I have both the CD and DVD versions. With that take care and have a better day!!!!!!!!
