For me it's certainly one of the greatest.
For us Queen fans it is. Who cares what others think?

Of course these days it's easier to sell out staduims (and there are higher capacity stadiums) so 1986 wouldn't reallt stand up.
Looking back does it matter?? If anyone ever shows it it's Wembley which is big enough and that was one DAM good concert.
Queen could have done it so so so so better though if they had done songs like - play the game, save me, stone cold crazy, lily of the valley, my melancholy blues, ogre battle etc.
Can u imagine how good Lily of the Valley would have sounded in Wembley stadium.
I prefered the earlier tours especially around the early 80's cos Freddie played piano and there was more of a balance to the concerts.
But in 86 his voice was pretty amazing!
That reallt annoys me about Queen - what the hell makes Brian think we want to listen to Brighton Rock...was there not someone there telling them that they had all those great songs i just mentioned????

I happen to love Brighton Rock live... every fiddling second, to be honest. And I know a lot of others do too...
Anyway, the Magic Tour was a good one, they had fun on stage and large crowds. We fans tend to want to hear the lesser known tracks, okay, but as an event, the magic tour was a big one. Didn't they call it the "Queen Tornado" ?

His '86 voice was amazing???
Are you on dope man?
Freddie's voice in 1986 sucked so hard! It's really terrible, can't sing the high notes, screams a lot, voice is very raspy compared to the other tours. Voice is very tired

I agree. His '82 voice was FAAAAR better!
But i'm not saying i don't like the '86 one at all.

Grab a dictionary dude. That is NOT how you spell Frankfurt, Germany :-D[/QUOTE]
Frankfurt was just a near sellout because they had to cancel Munich because of poor Ticket sales and the tickets for Munich were valid for Frankfurt. They didnt sell this one out either. In Europe Rush aint that big!

His voice was shot at Wembley - dont listen to the official version which was clearly sung in the studio partly. The bootleg sounds like if it was another concert!!!

Wemebley isn't really a fair concert to use because he clearly was having a hard time that night. A great concert to listen to if you want to hear him at his peak in 1986 is in Leiden, that is one hell of a concert in terms of vocals, a lot of power but also quite a few high notes.
The magic tour was great but it did appear to be a touch stale at times and i always find the Wemebley show stale I'm sorry to say, where as Knebworth, Budapest and also Leiden also sound better.
The best set-list was quite possibly the Works tour, which i think probably had the best blend between the older tracks and the newer stuff. Just a shame his vocals weren't the best during that tour, though the Japan leg was pretty good, esp at Budoken, thats one I'd also recommend

I believe too, that Freddie`s voice was this day not in top shape, but if wembley was orginal such a vocal-disaster, and had to be partly resung in the studio... why have they decided 1989/1990 to release the concert in december 1990 at all? And as D-LP long after Freddie Tribute in summer 1992.
The vhs-video is aproax 75min, but the D-LP includes nearly the full show (except end of Tutti Frutti). Therefore all the songs that are not on the original vhs, must sound significantly different/bad, compared to the manipulated one`s at the vhs and live magic.
It was shure a lot of work to manipulate the recordings again (like for Live Killers)...
If you we`re rig"ht, I think there was no real need / force to release this concert at all, they alread had Budapest in public, with a far better performance.

Ich kann nämlich eigentlich kein Englisch... ha...ha... Grammatik, was ist das denn ???

Are you serious? When did the rest of the world cease to exist? (I.E. USA, Japan, Australia) I’m very sure we were all part of this planet back 1986.
Queen ignored the rest of us. Probably because we all knew that most everything after “The Game” was sub-par and in England and Europe they could no wrong.

Well I was there at Wembley and his voice sounded fine at the time.
Live shows aren't really made to be picked apart by people at home afterwards. You really don't notice minor faults in the heat of the moment.

I think that his stage show that night at Wemebley probably made his voice problems seem less obvious as i seem to notice when looking at the video again, plus the crowd no doubt was singing along which also probably helped to mask the true problems of his voice that night, esp in the first 30 minutes or so of the show.
He did pick towards the end mind you, esp songs like Radio Ga Ga. Still if you compare the vocals to this and live at the bowl its easy to see the faults in his voice.

Why would they tour a country where their music is not popular anymore and the recent album did not sell very well?? They would have lost money instead of making money if they would have toured the US that year

Ok! A lot of people seem to be saying his voice was bad at Wembley - am i deaf listening to Tie your mother down or in the lap of the gods, now i'm here???
It is a bit lame near the end of the show (from bo rap onwards) and budapest is far better for the lighter songs
I agree his voice was better in the early 80's but still there was more power and rasp in his voice at 86 which is nice and different to hear.
Wembley does get annoying after a while, but all DVDs do. Could have been so much better if they had done the correct songs and not 12 min of a guitar solo or those county and western ones
