Which do you prefer ? For me its Wembley, i fell it has better songs, However I think that freddie performs better at Milton Keynes. |

You're right. Freddie's performance at MK is much better than on Wembley, but the Wembley concert is still very good too! I don't know which one is my favourite... |

The performance at MK is better, but Wembley has the better stage, setlist etc. so in total I would decide for Wembley |

Wembley for me. |

Slane Castle, Dublin, 5 July 1986, week before Wembley and Freddie's voice was awesome, Brian played an old Irish folk song called "Danny boy" as part of his guitar solo. This gig was recorded for future use but something went wrong with the recording equipment so only part survives, in the archives I presume. 2nd Wembley night sounds better than first. |

Milton Keynes. Better setlist, better performance. |
| Mr. Bulsara 14.11.2004 15:02 |
I think Milton Keynes is much better than Wembley freddie's voice is perfect and i think the set list is much better Thank You, God Bless You, Sweet Dreams You Lot Of Tarts. Goodbye |

I just had the MK Live at the Bowl cd delivered. It practically came by pack animal, and the local record store says the DVD is on its way. Anyway... LOVE the MK Bowl. I've seen the bootleg VHS from the BBC but never before heard Action This Day (Roger what a gem!) or Back Chat. The vocal performance is better on MK Bowl IMHO but the set list might be better overall on Wembley. MK Bowl is better than Live Killers IMO. When I introduced my girlfriend to Queen via the Queen Rocks cd, Mary said, "'Tear It Up' is a five-orgasm song!" Of course she likes the Wembley live version of TIU also. We will, we will watch the MK Bowl dvd over and over when it arrives... Roaring engine of modern times rock n' roll Our sheer heart attack boils the blood-- so Gimme a good guitar, and I'll make the speed of light-- Every time you deliver action this day, just Remember a dozen red roses for my darling. Magic shows and minstrel fairs, damsels in Every locality gather 'round the gong Don't sit on the fence, ride the wildest wind and Dive into the flame that burns a thousand years One vision is all we need to see that Working class heroes are all it takes to Stop those stinking nazis These are the days of fighting from the inside All the young dudes know it--because-- You've yet to have your finest hour, so come on down to London Town, see a man on fire--a man possessed-- with Old friends in better times on a one night stand, all singing "Rock n' roll just pays the bills..." ;) Mac |

just got my milton keynes cd today, can't wait for dvd release, must say Keynes rocks. I love wembly and like live killers, but this could be their best live cd to date, freddie's voice is perfect. |
| mike hunt 14.11.2004 16:32 |
again not so sure why some think the list is much better in wembly not so sure bout that, play the game and somebody to love are great, and I never seen them perform fat bottomed girls ever live, but for me it's very close because the show at wembly was one of the greats of all time, and the crowd for wembly were terrific. |
| Giacco 73 14.11.2004 16:32 |
Wembley '86 is probably the most popular Queen concert ever apart the Live Aid performance and I love it but I'm also blown away by Milton Keynes too! I go for Wembley even if in 1982 Freddie's voice was in an amazing shape,probably the best ever. |
| mike hunt 14.11.2004 16:46 |
couldn't have said it better |
| Queen Katherine 14.11.2004 17:32 |
Wembley for me. The stage and lighting is better but Freddie is so cool in MK! The part where he sits on the piano is great! |
| Whatinthewhatthe? 14.11.2004 19:45 |
Both are awesome performances, but we should remember there's a gap in-between when things in Freddie's life were starting to change, for him health-wise. Four years is four years, and things happen -- like getting older! But I considered him in fine form in both, though he was a lot more active in the MK concert. I can't get over the use of the right leg...stomping all the time, reminding me of a horse! |
| Jimmy Dean 14.11.2004 23:19 |
MK because Wembley was released 12 years ago. I'm tired of listening to it. MK because queen weren't stringing out the hits. We have improved and queen-worthy versions of Back Chat, Staying Power, and Action this Day. We also finally get an official CD version of Somebody To Love, live. MK because Freddie's voice was at its peak. MK had queen as a working band, but Wembley encaptured their Royalty, mega-production, 72000 filled-to-capacity, sell-out extravangaza, robe-wearing, ego-bearing Freddie-fucking-Mercury. God Save The Queen! (Just had to get that out of my system, heard the CD for the 4th time in a row and can't wait for the DVD to come out this Tuesday in Montreal!) |
| The Mir@cle 15.11.2004 03:10 |
It surprised me how good they where during Live AID. The crowd (not all Queen fans) went totally crazy. Super!! |
| Erik Viking 15.11.2004 03:45 |
I knew MK only from my poor-quality vhs tape, and I didn't like this gig. But when I watched this for the first time on dvd, I realized how wrong I was. You don.t need a 100000 people to make a good show. You don't need 100000 lights to make a good show, but you need a band focused on giving their best . And they did. Freddie is full of energy. You can feel fun they had on every single song. ActionTT was discovery for me. Vocals are great there. I love dark, heavy version of AnotherOBTT. Today I have bigger fun watching MK then Wembley. But I remember a impression wembley dvd made on me. |
| NTL 15.11.2004 06:52 |
MK by a million miles. Why ? because the sound is much better and the performance is much better. Wembley is crap, Freds voice is the worst it was on the tour, and Bri's guitar needed a damm good set-up as the fretbuzz on the E A & D strings is shocking which is not helped by that aweful high treble 'glassy' sound he had for some reason on that day. Prefer to watch Wembley with the sound off. And another thing, how can people say that Freds voice was in the best shape ever at MK when it is clearly better at Montreal '81. |

C';mon- that's one of the better concerts they have ever played!!! Wembley isn't- it's on eof the worse gigs during Magic Tour... Stage?

freds voice was not crap on wembly far from it, he stuggled more than usual, but some of the notes he hit for that show were simply amazing for a rock singer, check out in the lap of the gods, still gives me chills. but all around MK he had better range and brian was great in both. |
| Gunpowder Gelatine 16.11.2004 01:14 |
Milton Keynes. So far, at least. I haven't finished watching the concert yet, but already, it's better than Wembley for me. Freddie's got so much more enthusiasm, his voice is in better shape, and the rest of the band just seems tighter. Wembley was great, but I prefer Milton Keynes. Plus, Milton Keynes has a more interesting setlist. It's nice to hear all the Hot Space tracks that aren't usually featured, instead of being more about the hits, like Wembley is. Though I do kind of miss the rock n' roll medley that isn't on Milton Keynes. |

between the two, milton keynes because of the setlist - it features lesser known "album" tracks and greatest hits 1 tracks which didn't make it to wembley nor are as widely known to the average joe bloggs on the street who may be a casual queen fan (Somebody To Love, Fat Bottomed Girls, Play The Game, Save Me) |
| kohuept 16.11.2004 12:23 |

in wembley freddie didn' sing so bad.i believe on the 1st wembley night he was bad(really bad)but in the second he was quite good.i think in budapest he was really in shape and in montreal too.briian guitar at wembley is stunning but roger makes a lot of mistakes(i.e. now i'm here) |
| Mr.Jingles 16.11.2004 12:55 |
Wembley is still better to me, but I can see why so many people are "hungry" for more releases other than just Wembley. The problem is that we've seen Wembley so many times, that we've grown tired of it. Sure the setlist had too many hits, but I think they particularly decided to pick hits for 'The Magic Tour' was because a lot of the people who were attending the shows of that particular tour were not necessarily hard-core Queen fans. And for those who say that Wembley was crap, do you really think it was THAT BAD? Freddie's voice wasn't at it's best (It wasn't his fault), but as always he gave the best of himself. And as for Brian's guitar parformance, could you guys explain why it was so awful? You guys are putting Queen on the Ashlee Simpson performance level. Seriously, once again I think you guys should spend more time on message boards for other bands that this one. I still think their worst release has to be 'We Will Rock You - Montreal 81', and it had nothing to be with the band's performance. The crowd was awfully boring, and the sound quality was quite poor. Overall, their best performance I've ever seen on video was Budapest '86. |
| The Man On The Prowl 16.11.2004 14:33 |
I prefer Wembley much more, especially for the tracklist, which covers a larger period (from Seven Seas and Lap Of The Gods to A Kind of Magic/Friends Will Be Friends/Who Wants To Live Forever - Somebody To Love instead of Another One Bites The Dust and it would have been perfect!). And then also for the guitar arrangements (the guitar on the live version of I Want To Break Free is brilliant), and then also for the huge stage! |
| Lothar E 11.08.2005 19:46 |
Each concert is unique, but what are you saying about the sound...? Brian himself said they had problems with sound in MK, without remember when the Red Special turns off... Anyway I love LOML and ITLOTG performance at Wembley. By the way, does anybody know where the image of the MK cover matches in the concert??? |

it's a hard choice for me. i think freddie's voice was at it's live peak at MK and also i like the song selection, but what i like about wembly is the crowd, i never seen such a beloved band in my life, the crowd was great. don't get me wrong, i think the performance at wembly was also great, and they were older and had more of a sense of humor. check out john deacon and roger talyor laughing at freddie during the cover tunes, when fred put on that military hat, i get a kick out of watching john laugh at his buddy. so for me it's pretty even, but performance wise i might give to milton keynes. |

I would love to see an official DVD released of the "Earls Court" and "The Rainbow" concerts - there was an unofficial release of the Rainbow conert (on satellite TV around the early 90's). For me, the Wembley concert is better, but thats purely for the setlist and the production that went into the DVD of Wembley 86. |
| neodave 14.08.2005 15:11 |

| Ozzy Queen 16.08.2005 06:49 |
I think that MK bowl is Freddie's better performing concert. Although the songs aren't the best when done in the studio, i think they're fantastic when done live. But then again Wembly isn't without it's charm. As a matter of fact i'm gonna watch it rite now. bye. |
| Sithmarauder 14.11.2005 14:42 |
WOW how did I miss this thread!? Good Topic. I like the songs much better at MK than Wembley. Even the fans seemed more into it at MK than Wembley. But then again it could have beeen a more mature crowd at Wembley. Their performance of Bo Rhap and LOML were better at Wembley. Freddie's sing along with the audience was better at MK. I think MK would have been an even better show if it was filmed at Wembley. Either way, they were both great shows! |
| Asterik 05.12.2005 09:39 |
MK has the superior setlist overall- eg Dragon Attack, Somebody To Love, Fat Bottomed Grls and Play The Game whereas Wembley had too many safe pop hits like I Want To break free and Friends Will Be Friends- I would have like to have seen Somebody To Love or FBG at Wembley- they would have been great. However Wembley is better. I don't buy this idea about Fred's voice being stronger at M. It may have been rougher by Wembley but he belts out Tie Your Mother Down with a lot more strength than he did at MK. Also, the sheer scale and power is far superior at Wembley, as is the atmosphere. One senses that fred treaded on egg shelkls when talking about the Hot Space material at the Bowl. |
| hoopymrprosser 05.12.2005 13:17 |
I don't think you can compare them, MK was filmed by channel 4 TV to be broadcast as a Tube special in 1982, whereas Wembley was alegedly filmed with a video release planned. I think this also explains why the camera angles seem better thought out. MK spends more time playing the classics with the occasional Hot Space track thrown in (4 tracks), Wembley seems to concentrate more on The Works and A Kind of Magic (9 tracks) with the occasional classic track thrown in. They both have their merits and their drawbacks, and both show off the talents of the band at different stages of their performing careers. |
| deleted user 05.12.2005 13:58 |
Setlist: Wembley was mostly greatest hits, and Milton Keynes was more intresting. Wembley 0 Milton Keynes 1 Performance: Freddie's voice and Roger's drums was weak on Wembley. Milton Keynes was awesome. Wembley 0 Milton Keynes 2 Stage: Wembley was the biggest stage Queen ever had. Wembley 1 Milton Keynes 2 Lights: Wembley's lights was useless because they started in daylight. I prefer Milton Keynes also because they were closer. Wembley 1 Milton Keynes 3 Audience: Milton Keynes audience was louder than Wembleys, listen to Love Of My Life for example. Wembley 1 Milton Keynes 4 Stadium: Wembley Stadium beats Milton Keynes Bowl by far. Wembley 2 Milton Keynes 4 Summary: Milton Keynes was better :) |

Wembley sucked. As a long time Queen fan I have to say that because it does. Freddie's voice doesn't have the "omph" in it. Even at the beginning of the show, "One Vision" sounds really dry. In contrast at MK his fresh, pliable voice almost feel wasted on the hero. I don't like the setl;ist that much at Wembley either. The old rock and roll covers they do just don't do it for me even though I think it is a throwback to their early performances. The sad part is Wembley is Queen's most famous concert to casual fans and it's still highly respected and leave them knowing that Queen is one of the best live bands ever. |

The band are miles better and more together at Milton Keynes - they seems like a proper hard working rock 'n' roll band, whereas at Wembley they seem more distant and more like a stadium rock band & they don't seem as rehearsed or "warmed up" at Wembley. The MK setlist is more pleasing too. |

hello i think MILTON KEYNES is better. because of the set list and how they presented the songs in their right. see staying power somebody to love love of my life. te extra’s on dvd2 are really poor. WEMBLEY STADIUM 1986 is very good too. it has been released too often and i have seen it too many times. the set list is good they played a good show. the extra’s on dvd2 are reeally super. but seen too many times. i prefer a dvd of the 70s an example. houston 1977 earls court 1977 hammersmith odeon 979 paris 1979 |

Wembley does it for me as I was at the Friday gig! Wembley appealed to the wider audience as this was a greatest his set wheras MK was an album promotion tour. The band probably knew that Magig was their last tour so decided to go out on a bang! Not everyone will agree with this but that's my opinion |

But wembly is awesome too, i wish they did Tutti Frutti and that at MK... |
| buffguy 2.0 17.02.2008 03:36 |
MK not that wembley isnt good but i just think it isnt as good ill compare them MK-it has great songs like somebody to love dragon attack play the game and a lot of people will disagree with me here but it has songs from hot space im not saying it was a great album (it was okay)but alot of the songs are good live like action this day. but the main reason i like it better is it has more early songs which are often better live songs than latter ones. Wembley-kicks of with one of the better live songs from the 80s one vision and has a few has one of the best of queens live performences with in the lap of the gods revisited and has other great live songs like radio ga ga and hammer to fall. actually now that i think about it maybe wembleys better because of in the lap of the gods but i dont like rogers hair looks in this concert but it dosnt bother me that much. okay there both great lets just leave it at that |

Dusta wrote: This is a wonderful synopsis. I agree.I beg to differ. Freddie was more of a musician - and he was already a pretty good one - when he started "losing" - I don't have a better word - his voice than when he could do wonders with it, just like in Milton Keynes. Technically and musically speaking, some of his late performances are jewels, in my most humble opinion. For those who, like me, are interested in how good musicians find their way to circumvent their physical and psychical limitations, the late Queen is of great musical interest.Sebastian wrote: At Wembley Freddie was a showman. At Milton Keynes Freddie was a musician. By 1985-1986, Freddie's technique is just awesome: there's so much intelligence and musical reasoning behind some of his performances around that period that, wow, it's really a joy to listen to, and I'm in no way a fanatic as far as Queen is concerned. It's a joy to listen to because there are plenty of musical reasons to do so, it's really not only about an emotional attachment to the band. Late Freddie, as a good musician he was, can teach a lot for those who study music and sing. I have not been naturally endowed with such a wonderful talent as Freddie's; so I try to learn some - in no way all - of his technique to improve my own singing. In Mannheim, 1986, for example, he failed; in Berlim, 1986, however, Germans were given what he tried to do in the beginning of "In the Lap of the Gods revisited" and couldn't achieve in Mannheim: a quite remarkable modulation in a verse he intended to sing as if he had to sing it in his single, last breath - that's the impression he succeeds in conveying (quite deliberately, I guess, he tried to do that in Mannhein but it didn't work) when he sings "to talk...about". There's a sense of one's constant, though clearly artificial for conveying such impression of anguish, struggle with his own breath and energy - it was the beginning of the concert lol - in order to express his pain before he passes away. It's quite touching, very intelligent, and he does such things on a regular basis in his last performances (1985, 1986). There's a lot of intelligence behind his singing: music is shouting right into my face when I hear it. I forget he's also a wonderful showman. That's not to say, of course, I don't like Freddie's virtuosism of "Save Me" in "On Fire at the Bowl", Rock Montreal, Wembley 80, Vienna (2nd night, especially) 1982, and so on. It's wonderful, as it was a joy to listen to the clearness, fullness, purity and brightness of tune he displayed in 1974 and 1975. As a fan, 1973-1975, as far as Queen is concerned, are the most exciting years, either in studio or live. As a music student, however, I find much more interesting stuff in 1985-1986. So there's where I disagree: I think in Milton Keynes he was a great singer and great musician, no doubt; by 1985-1986, Freddie, I think, had clearly evolved from 1982 as a musician and singer in terms of technique. Take care you all. It's always an honour to participate in the threads, as similar as they happen to be over time: there are always some good posts which add to my knowledge and newcomers who come with that eagerness to learn more about Queen and music in general, I guess. I wish you well! |

I've counted the votes and it is 48-40 to Milton Keynes and even those, who voted for Wembley said they chose it because of the factors such as better crowd, better setlist, better DVD production, better camera work etc. and not necesarilly for the better performance musically-speaking. My vote goes for Milton Keynes also, because for me the music is what counts, the crowd is not so important. In the seventies they never played to the audiences such as on Wembley or in Rio, and Freddie wasn't so much of a showman, but the music was far superior. I'm waiting now for Montreal'81, because I've read somewhere that this is their best official release to date MUSIC-WISE (even if the crowd sucks). I'll watch it and then post my opinion. |

I'm gonna go with Milton Keynes. I thought the crowd was better, and believe it or not I think it had a better setlist. Action and Staying Power were made to have a more rock feel, and just sounded better. Plus, "Someobdy to Love" from MK is arguably the finest live performance by anyone ever. |

MK, because of the set list. On Wembley there's almost only hits, and those have we heard before... I like the Hot Space songs. Great performance! But Houston 77 is my favorite... |
