“Britain’s most regal band awaits your presence…” Melody Maker, August 1986. Queen - Magic in the Park - Live at Knebworth Park 1986 - Multi Format release August 09 2016 The English rock band Queen was well known for its live musical acts. Diverse musical catalogues, large sound systems, lighting rigs, innovative pyrotechnics and extravagant costumes often gave shows a theatrical nature. Artists such as Bob Geldof, David Bowie, George Michael, Kurt Cobain (in his possible suicide note), and Robbie Williams have expressed admiration for lead vocalist Freddie Mercury's stage presence. The Magic Tour in 1986 was to be Queen's last tour. On this occasion the tour did not extend beyond Europe and included two back-to-back shows at Wembley Stadium in London (where INXS and Status Quo were the supporting acts) as well as one concert at Budapest in Hungary. One striking image of Mercury from the Wembley show would be regularly used for promotional purposes (e.g. the Tribute Concert posters, the memorial statue at Montreux, the cover of the Greatest Hits III album, the Musical billboards). Throughout the tour, Mercury would regularly make an impromptu statement on stage that denounced the rumour that Queen were about to split up. As "God Save the Queen" played over the PA system at the end of each show, Mercury would come on stage wearing a cloak and a replica of the crown jewels. After this tour, Queen were credited as being one of the first rock acts to employ the over-sized screen (or Jumbotron) at live concerts. To celebrate the 30th anniversary of the last concert of the band, Queen is releasing for the first time "Live at Knebworth Park", in its entirety and for your enjoyment. Shot during the Magic Tour, it shows Freddie Mercury at the height of his game. This legendary show has finally been given the pedestal it deserves, delivered in fitting style, featuring an incredible new audio mix in stereo and 5.1 surround-sound plus an absolute state-of-the-art restoration of the video. As well as audio and visual footage of the gig, the DVD and SD Blu-Ray versions feature two special bonus features – 'Looking Back At The Park’, a brand new 22-minute documentary featuring a previously unseen interview with Brian May and Roger Taylor by Old Grey Whistle Test presenter Bob Harris about the 1986 Knebworth Park show, plus the rarely seen Live At Barcelona Mini Stadium – Spain 1986 footage, featuring three songs (Now I'm Here, Killer Queen and In The Lap Of The Gods… Revisited and Bohemian Rhapsody) recorded during their legendary tour in Europe. Full Tracklisting (CD/Vinyl/Digital) One Vision Tie Your Mother Down In the Lap of the Gods... Revisited Seven Seas of Rhye Tear It Up A Kind of Magic Under Pressure Another One Bites the Dust Who Wants to Live Forever I Want to Break Free Impromptu Guitar Solo (w/parts of "Get Down,Make… more ) Now I'm Here Love of My Life Is This the World We Created...?

Killer Queen? Youre a fucking wanker. |

The one in charge of doing this is Greg Brooks, so no-one's gonna believe you until people from QPL publishes something. It also has to appear in a thread on QueenOnline, written by Greg Brooks. |

Bad, bad trolling. The style is not the same of the QP releases. And the Barcelona footage detail was the big problem there. Overall 6/10 in the troll scale. |

PROPERTY OF QUEEN PRODUCTIONS FOLKS!The most glaring tell-tale sign - Queen only celebrates 40th anniversaries. 30 years is nothing :-) |

It's just a joke. But not a very good one. |
| cmsdrums 17.12.2015 03:48 |
Soon as I saw the line about Cobain's "possible suicide note" it gave the game away......that just would not be included in an official press release. Although the error of stating the inclusive of three bonus tracks from Spain, but then listing four songs was the sort of mistake that gives it an air of authenticity!!! |

goose44 wrote: pretty funny. the morons who still take it as serious are fools Sorry Mr. Jokes, but this kind of jokes aren't a bit funny (at least to me). I mean, you can joke about this concert, even about the release of this concert! But, do it in the right way, or don't do it. Still. the part of including three bonus from Barcelona (with a second "with" after ITLOTG... R) is quite funny. If that ever happens to QPL, I wouldn't be surprised. |

"So much ado about nothing" It took 5 minutes to refute this topic, but yet several QZer's are excessively perturbed by this fake announcement. Why am I not surprised??? Greggy must be "ROTFLMAO" uncontrollably. |
| Oscar J 17.12.2015 18:42 |
I thought it was kinda funny. Actually glad it wasn't true as that would probably mean there wouldn't be a Hyde Park release. |
| jacksonmerc 18.12.2015 03:03 |
Knebworth will never happen. The tape was deleted. They told us this at the convention while premiering Wembley on dvd. |
| pittrek 18.12.2015 04:00 |
Define "the tape" |
| Costa86 18.12.2015 07:30 |
This is great news. After this I heard they're going to release full HD footage of that infamous party with the dwarves and cocaine trays. I heard from an inside source that this will include exclusive previously unknown footage of Paul Prenter blowing one of the dwarves. |
