For long-time fans, this may be the most outstanding concert by Queen. The reason? It gives a perfect overview of an early Queen presentation. The material, the costumes, and the performance of the members are really great and supported by the hilarious conversational approach of a young Freddie Mercury. In one of the last interviews, the singer Freddie Mercury said that the way he looked in those days was ridiculous; many would argue. The band looked very theatrical and outrageous. That's the way that the orthodox, good old fashion Queen fan likes it more, so it's joyful to see the careful treatment of the performance and the power of the Queen sound when all the members of the band sing together.
Acting
Freddie's between-song banter is stand-up comedy gold.
Costume
Satin trousers so tight they deserve co-writing credits.
Sound
Four-part harmonies that'll ruin modern pop for you.
Director
Bruce Gowers
Trivia, insights & behind the scenes

Freddie's onstage patter about 'bringing back ballet' was improvised chaos—he was genuinely terrified of boring the crowd.
