'Hungarian Rhapsody' Coming To The Big Screen

http://queenonline.com/en/news-archive/ ... ig-screen/

Queen Concert Movie ‘Hungarian Rhapsody’ On The Big Screen For The First Time At A Cinema Near You From 20th September 2012

Hungarian Rhapsody: Queen Live In Budapest ‘86 is a must–see event for Queen fans released in cinemas worldwide from 20 September 2012. The film is expected to play on screens in over 30 territories worldwide. In the UK it will be screened in all the major cities, around 100 cinemas nationwide.

Cinema listings and ticket booking links will be available soon at http://www.queenonline.com with new venues being added on a regular basis.

Originally filmed in 1986, this momentous concert movie has been re-mastered in high definition and superb 5.1 surround sound for its first–ever cinema screening and opens with a special 25 minute documentary feature following legends of rock, Queen, from just after their historic show–stealing performance at Live Aid on 13 July 1985 through the following year leading up to the concert in Budapest.

As part of the hugely successful 1986 Magic Tour that, poignantly, was the last to be played by Freddie Mercury, Queen were for the first time able to include Hungary on the tour schedule. With three years to go before the fall of the Berlin Wall, this was the largest concert ever staged at the Népstadion, Budapest, and the first Western Rock Concert staged in a stadium behind the then Iron Curtain. It was of such significance to the Hungarian authorities and film industry that a group of the country’s top film cameramen and technicians were brought together to film it for posterity.

Staged for 80,000 ecstatic fans, the concert set includes favourite hits like Bohemian Rhapsody, Crazy Little Thing Called Love, I Want To Break Free and We Are The Champions. The resulting concert movie has been digitally re-mastered for the big screen and is introduced by a documentary feature that gives the inside track on events leading up to the Budapest concert. Using archive footage from rehearsals, interviews with the band and on the road during the Magic Tour – some of which has never been seen before – this fascinating intro feature has been specially created for the cinema release.

“We’re delighted that Queen fans across the world will finally have the chance to relive this amazing moment for the band. We knew a stadium concert in Budapest was ground–breaking, but hadn’t quite anticipated what a historic night it would turn out to be. The concert looks fantastic on the cinema screen in all its digitally re-mastered glory and the documentary does a great job of setting the scene – it really was an extraordinary time in the band’s history.” Brian May and Roger Taylor

Hungarian Rhapsody: Queen Live In Budapest ‘86 – a fantastic opportunity to dress up, sing along and celebrate the magic of Queen at your local cinema.

While it's great we're getting another Queen concert on DVD, I wish they would release some '70s concerts. The '80s are pretty well represented as it stands.

was there ever an official video of the Live Killers tour?

Not that I'm aware of.

I'll get this, but like everyone else, I would love to see the 70's get better represented.

Whatever happened to the 1975 London show that was broadcast on the BBC a coupla years back ... wasn't that being prepared for an official dvd release?

Has anyone got this yet? I'm pretty sure I'll be getting it, but I wanted some opinions...since it's pretty close to the Wembley show.

Thanks,

Mark

Mine arrived today and I haven't had a chance to open it yet. The performance is excellent, but I can't speak to the sound or video on this version yet.

The SQ and PQ of the Blu ray is on a par with the Rocks Montreal disc if you liked that one you'll like this one[I have the UK import btw].
