  • You're watching the last ever concert of the superband Queen. This is their last ever performance of Radio Ga Ga, written by Roger Taylor.
    The audio is a combination of the official album "Live Magic", an audience recording taken from the bootleg "Thank You All", and the video source.
    The video is a combination of the audience video, the official Rare Live VHS, and various official documentaries.
    The intro comes from a slideshow of pictures from this concert

      quirky mermaid28 I live in Stevenage and was at the front of this superb show having seen them at the Milton Keynes bowl in 82. Of course that show was recorded so I can relive it but it’s such a shame this show, which no one knew at the time would be Freddie’s last with his 3 mates was never fully recorded because it was an epic one to witness.

    Watching this brings tears to my eyes. What an amazing concert this was!!
    I was given 2 tickets by a very lovely, very friendly, motorcycle courier, called Rob who often came into the Mercury Communications office near Tower Bridge. It was the first big concert I'd every experienced. I have to admit I wasn't even a Queen fan at the time - but ever since the first note they played I've been a big big fan! I've been to lots of concerts since, but none have moved me quite like this one did!
    I just wish there was a professionally filmed version of this concert. If they produced one, I'm sure everyone that attended would buy it - someone could make a fortune!!!

    You gave them all those old time stars
    Through wars of worlds invaded by Mars
    You've made 'em laugh, you've made 'em cry
    You've made us feel like we could fly
    So, don't become some background noise
    A backdrop for the girls and boys
    Who just don't know or just don't care
    And just complain when you're not there

    You've yet to have your finest hour

    On videos for hours and hours
    We hardly need to use our ears
    How music changes through the years
    Let's hope you never leave, old friend
    Like all good things, on you we depend
    So, stick around, 'cause we might miss you
    When we grow tired of all this visual

    I was there with my then girlfriend (first concert date) still married to this day. By far the best concert I have ever attended, we were slap bang in the middle of that lot 🤪 Belouis Some, Big Country, Status Quo, Gary Numan flying a stunt byplane 👍 Freddie’s last ever live concert with Queen and simply incredible. RIP Freddie (30 years today) 🙁

    @TheMinerva82 There are some "hints" on the new BluRay release of the "Days Of Our Lives" documentary. The guy who makes the interview asked Roger directly why John did that, and Roger answered that John was going through a hard period of life on the tour and was drinking a lot

    Not the only one but surely one of the few ones :) but they did it better than anyone else, that's a fact!
