Queen Live: 1970-2020 - 50 Years - A James

No longer in print, a last chance for Queen fans who may have missed out when this was first released!

During 20 years as one of the worlds best loved rock bands Queen played a total of over 700 concerts throughout the world. The band’s earliest documented concerts were at colleges in the Home Counties of England in 1970; their performance at Live Aid in 1985 at Wembley is considered one of the best live shows anywhere and their final show was at Knebworth Park on August 9th 1986. And then there was the Freddie Mercury Memorial Concert at Wembley Stadium.

In a 20 minute show-stealing set at the Live Aid concert at Wembley Stadium in July 1985, Queen, who had been regarded as 'washed up' by many, proved to their doubters, that they were, without doubt, the best live band in the world. Queen's iconic performance, still voted 'The World's Greatest Rock Gig' in music industry polls to this day, proved that they were back. But, in truth, they had really never been away. No other band has ever come close to equaling the sheer power, emotion, showmanship, charisma and magnetism of the classic Queen line up of Mercury, May, Taylor and Deacon performing live on stage. They will rule forever.
