Along with the Madison Square Garden section of the Stones' 'Gimme Shelter', 'Queen Rock Montreal' ranks as a band at their height in both popularity and stage power. Apparently, most bands in the older days didn't capture their concerts in 35mm for the highest quality documentary possible. I didn't want this to end, but unfortunately it must. Roger Taylor and John Deacon made up a rock solid rhythm section (as well as writing so many first rate songs) and Brian May is an amazing guitarist that never gets upstaged by all the considerable talent around him. He's the irreplaceable front man that defines an era. Freddy Mercury is no doubt one of music's great spirits, not to mention powerful vocalists. Queen launch into a super charged version of 'We Will Rock You' and it's on from there. Live Aid was a benefit concert held simultaneously at Wembley Stadium in London and JFK Stadium in Philadelphia on July 13, 1985. The Beatles, Led Zeppelin, the Rolling Stones and so many others performed there before it was no longer home of the team synonymous with the Stanley Cup and converted into a 22 screen movie complex. Back when the Montreal Forum was the Vatican of hockey, it also played host to all the huge names in popular music. And what a concert this is! I went to a theatre for a special one time presentation to watch this on the big screen before the disc release and other than a few of my favourite numbers that were left out, they touch on all their hits.

Good tunes, but a lot of us want to hear the raw sound which made this quartet a major act on vinyl and in concert. That summary refers to the fact that after this tour, the band lightened up a bit and released songs like 'Radio Gaga' and 'Flash Gordon'.
