Live Magic – August 9th, 1986
Freddie Mercury’s last live performance with Queen was recorded on this day in 1986 in Knebworth, England. And this album, my first and one of my very favourite live albums, features some of this performance.
The other tracks featured on this compact disc, which is now only available as a Japanese import, were recorded a few days prior during The Magic Tour, at Wembley Stadium in London, England on July 12th, 1986 and the Népstadion in Budapest, Hungary on July 27th, 1986. And more complete recordings for those performances were released on DVD and Blu-ray.
Freddie For A Day
Queen‘s Freddie Mercury would have been 65 today. And today you will find numerous tributes to this incredible rock vocalist, including a doodle on Google.com, featuring “Don’t Stop Me Now”, and Youtube, where an hour and a half long Wembley Stadium performance can be viewed.
