Queen / Budapest (3LP Vinyl)
THIS IS A PRE-ORDER ITEM AND WILL BE SHIPPED WITH ANY OTHER ITEMS PURCHASED ALONGSIDE IT FROM THE RELEASE DATE OF OCTOBER 30TH*
Queen Budapest celebrates the 40th anniversary of a pivotal moment in the band’s history.
Available on vinyl for the very first time, this release includes newly remixed audio from the original multitrack recordings which delivers the most immersive presentation of the performance to date.
Captured on July 27, 1986, at Budapest’s Népstadion, during the band’s ‘The Magic Tour’, the concert was a groundbreaking moment, as Queen became the first Western rock band to perform behind the Iron Curtain during a period of profound cultural and political change. In addition to 80,000 tickets selling out, an estimated 45,000 people listened to the group outside, and some fans had travelled from as far away as Russia and Poland to see the concert.
With the scale of the achievement, it would have been impossible to imagine that Queen would go on to play only a further five shows, ending forever their touring days with Freddie only one month later, with their final show played at Knebworth Park in England on August 9, 1986.
Queen Budapest is the last filmed live performance of the band with Freddie Mercury, showing the band at the height of their powers as a live act. This release captures the band performing iconic hits such as We Will Rock You, We Are The Champions,
A Kind Of Magic, Crazy Little Thing Called Love, Under Pressure, Who Wants To Live Forever, Hammer To Fall and Bohemian Rhapsody.
