Summary: Queen - On Fire At The Bowl
Comment: This is truly great concert! The editing was very well done, too.
If anyone ever doubted Freddie Mercury's voice and range, well, all they have to do is watch this concert and be amazed. What a talent! Virtually every other singer pales in comparison. The entire band is at at it's height, and having seen may groups in my day, I will say Queen is on a very short list of the best 5 bands ever! Everyone that has seen it has said "WOW!!!"
Customer Rating:
Summary: Excellent
Comment: I bought this for my son, who somehow at 18 is a Queen fan. The video is awesome. I had seen it at my athletic club, and it makes you keep on the treadmill, even when you are tired!

Summary: PERFECTION
Comment: I had 14 DVDS of QUEEN/Freddie & My Ex decided to keep them ALL..So now I'm rebuilding and this is one of my FAVS besides Wembley..Freddie is beyond the most incredible Performer there ever was!! (Even have a tat with his name and birth/passing date) From His Solos To all Of QUEEN I'm NEVER disappointed in any of their stuff..I've got every CD they have out and slowley I'll have All the DVD's again!
Customer Rating:
Summary: we miss you Freddy
Comment: If you are as much of a rock 'n roll music fan as I am you must have this live DVD. Even if you are not crazy about Queen, you will be after watching the amazing skills of the late Freddy Mercury and the guitar wizardry of Brian May. Anyone who says the performance is lacking is certainly not a musician or a pop music lover.

Summary: The title says it all on this great live Queen DVD!
Comment: In November of 2004, Queen released its fourth live album and fifth concert video Queen On Fire Live at the Bowl.
This live DVD and its off-shoot album was recorded and filmed at The Milton Keynes Bowl outside London, England on June 5, 1982 and directed superbly by Directed by Gavin Taylor.
Not officially released on video or CD, Queen On Fire Live At The Bowl marked the first time a recording of this concert has been LEGITIMATELY available to own as a 70 or 80 minute edit had been available on the bootleg recording circuit.
Audio producers Justin Shirley-Smith and Kris Fredriksson returned to the original 24 track analog tapes recorded by 80s Queen co-producer Mack and Mick McKenna with The Rolling Stones Mobile Truck and created brand new regular stereo(for the CD and one of the two DVD mixes)) and DTS 5.1 surround sound mixes(found on the DVD).
We kick off as the band hits the stage with the entrance music of Flash before the band dives into a spirited version of The Hero. Next is a killer We Will Rock You (fast version) complete with Brian May popping a guitar string and the music was left alone. Next is Action This Daywith drummer Roger Taylor and Freddie Mercury duetting on this rocker and John Deacon adding some bass which was muted on the studio recording and Brian playing his Red Special backup as his Red Special had to get a new string and Morgan Fisher did a great synthesizer solo substituting for the saxophone solo. Then Freddie does a nice piano intro which goes into an excellent Play the Game. Next is another Hot Space track Staying Power which is transformed into a rocker with Deaky and May playing guitars plus Roger bashing live drums and Freddie being on fire here. Next is arguably this live set's best track Somebody To Love which buries its studio counterpart by a longshot. Next is Now I'm Here which is excellent with a Freddie/audience vocal duel before segueing into Dragon Attack which rocks although Brian blew yet another string on his Red Special guitar and had to use his Red Special back up for the finale solo and the reprise to Now I'm Here. Next is a nice version of Love of My Life with Brian playing an impromptu teaser of Las Palabras De Amor before starting the track. Save Me is next and is done with more power than the studio counterpart. Deaky's Back Chat ends the first CD as the funk track is turned into a full-on rocker with Roger playing the drums like a man possessed, Brian's guitar dominating, John playing his Music Man Stingray bass and Freddie singing his heart out.
The second CD begins with Get Down Make Love which is a great short version which then segues from its middle section into Brian's Guitar Solo which is amazing despite the fact his guitar cord came undone(you can see this on DVD unedited) and Brian finishes with some help from Roger's drumming. Roger does an uncredited 30 second Drum Solo at the end of the guitar solo track as a lead in to Under Pressure which is an excellent version of the track. Next is Fat Bottomed Girls which rocks and Freddie's voice was electronically fixed on the part where he says LOCALITY which his voice cracked on the original Milton Keynes BBC airing. We then have a rocking Crazy Little Thing Called Love which is great. Then we have Freddie play a nice piano solo leading into possibly the best live version of Bohemian Rhapsody ever. We then rock out with the set closing Tie Your Mother Down which rocks. The first encore of Another One Bites the Dust is a great spirited version. Sheer Heart Attack follows and is more aggresive than either the News of the World version or the Live Killers version. We then have the second encore of the traditional We Will Rock You with audience participating and a stellar We Are the Champions. We then have the band say farewell as God Save the Queen plays over the PA.
The second DVD features interviews with Brian and Roger backstage before the Milton Keynes show. Also, interviews with Roger and Brian and a separate Freddie interview filmed for Austrian TV talking about ten years of Queen. We also have some of the long out of print video Queen Live in Japan 1982 which has the band pulling out some songs not on the Milton Keynes how like Impromptu, Put Out the Fire and a spirited Teo Torriatte. Also, there is a photo montage set to the previously unreleased live reading of Calling All Girls.
This DVD is recommended!
