Live At Wembley Stadium
(Previously released on VHS as '
Live At Wembley' and as a double album titled 'Live At Wembley 1986')

 

Released 9th June 2003 as a double DVD set.

Produced by Simon Lupton and Rhys Thomas
Executive Producer: Jim Beach
Directed by Gavin Taylor
Audio produced for DVD by Justin Shirley Smith
'It's A Beautiful Day' feature directed by Rudi Dolezal and Hannes Rossacher

Both discs of the release feature an animation as the menu loads (of the Queen Crest, with an excerpt of 'We Will Rock You'). It then features an excerpt of 'A Kind Of Magic' on the menu itself, which features footage shot from the middle of the stadium, with clips from the concert at the top of the screen.

All of the lyrics to the main concert are found on the original album page. Further down this page are details of the menu edits, song excerpts, rehearsal footage and Friday night footage that appeared on the two discs.


DVD One:
Audio available as Stereo or 5.1 Surround Sound. For the Surround Sound, the vocals are more prominent through the front speakers than the rear, but there do not seem to be any other changes.

The first DVD menu allows you to play the entire concert, select a song, or change audio. The concert itself is arranged into 28 chapters, these are:

  1. One Vision
  2. Tie Your Mother Down
  3. In The Lap Of The Gods..... Revisited
  4. Seven Seas Of Rhye
  5. Tear It Up
  6. A Kind Of Magic
  7. Under Pressure
  8. Another One Bites the Dust
  9. Who Wants To Live Forever
  10. I Want to Break Free
  11. Impromptu
  12. Guitar Solo
  13. Now I'm Here
  14. Love Of My Life
  15. Is This the World We Created?
  16. (You're So Square) Baby I Don't Care
  17. Hello Mary Lou (Goodbye Heart)
  18. Tutti Frutti
  19. Gimme Some Lovin'
  20. Bohemian Rhapsody
  21. Hammer To Fall
  22. Crazy Little Thing Called Love
  23. Big Spender
  24. Radio Ga Ga
  25. We Will Rock You
  26. Friends Will Be Friends
  27. We Are The Champions
  28. God Save The Queen

The video footage seems identical to the original VHS version, and the audio content is virtually identical to the album 'Live At Wembley 1986'. The DVD loses 7 seconds of audience noise between 'Crazy Little Thing Called Love' and 'Radio Ga Ga', but adds about 7 seconds of additional audience noise between 'Radio Ga Ga' and 'We Will Rock You'. The DVD also features additional audience noise between 'Now I'm Here' and 'Love Of My Life' (on the album, it fades out then in so that the content is spread over the two discs). The main difference is that the DVD contains the 'full length' version of 'Tutti Frutti'.

The original video began with an edit of 'Brighton Rock', featured time lapse photography of the stadium being prepared, and also an animation sequence. The DVD loses 'Brighton Rock' (replacing it with the beginning of 'One Vision'), and also the animation. However, the time lapse photography is still present and it also features some additional footage.

On the 'song selection' screen, if you select a track, it plays a preview of it; if you select it again, the complete version is played.

Sends shivers down my spine
Body's aching all the time
Goodbye everybody, I've got to go
Gotta leave you all behind and face the truth

Lyrics:
Freddie: I fancy boogie coming on. Did you like my American accent? Sorry, I've got to get this snot off my nose before I can sing, fuck everybody who doesn't like it. How about 'Another One Bites The Dust'?

Hey, let's go
Steve walks wearily down the street
His brim pulled way down low
Ain't no sound but the sound of his feet
Machine guns ready to go

Are you ready, hey, are you ready for this?
Are you standing on the edge of your seat
Out of the doorway the bullets rip
To the sound of the beat
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, sing it

Audience: Another one bites the dust
Hey, let me hear you
Audience: Another one bites the dust
Hey, and another one gone, and another one gone
Another one bites the dust
Hey, I'm gonna' get you too
Another one bites the dust

How do you think I'm gonna get along
Without you when you're gone
You took me for everything that I had
And kicked me out on my own

Are you happy, are you satisfied
How long can you stand the heat
Out of the door way the bullets rip
To the sound of the beat
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah

Another one bites the dust
Let me hear you - do it
Audience: Another one bites the dust
That's better
And another one gone, and another one gone
Another one bites the dust
Hey, I'm gonna' get you too
Another one bites the dust

(Ad-libbed section)

Another one bites the dust, yeah
Audience: Another one bites the dust
Another one bites the dust, yeah
Audience: Another one bites the dust, yeah
Another one bites the dust, yeah, yeah

Another one bites the dust
Another one bites the dust
Another one bites the dust, yeah
Another one bites the dust
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah

Plenty of ways that you can hurt a man
And bring him to the ground
You can beat him, you can cheat him
You can treat him bad and leave him when he's down, yeah

Yes, I'm ready, yes I'm ready for you
I'm standing on my own two feet
Out of the doorway the bullets rip
To the sound of the beat
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah

Another one bites the dust
Another one bites the dust
And another one gone, and another one gone
Another one bites the dust
Hey, I'm gonna' get you too
Another one bites the dust

Yeah
Alright
Hey, yeah
Gotcha

Freddie: Now then, there have been a lot of stories going around that, and a lot of real stupid rumours that Queen are gonna break up. I tell you it's not true, OK. I can tell you straight from my bowels that we're not going to do it. That is the truth, really. Why should we split up when we have so many people with us, OK? Mind you, as I was saying, we don't, we don't do badly for four ageing Queens, do we?

Crazy Little Thing Called Love (Friday Night Performance)
Click here for the original song details. Excerpt length 6:26. Song length 5:42
Recorded at Wembley Stadium, on Friday 11 July 1986.
Lyrics:
Freddie: I think everybody knows I can't play the fucking guitar, we all know that. The difference being, the guitar plays me, you see, it's much more fun that way. This is for all you crazy faggots out there.

This thing called love I just can't handle it
This thing called love I must get round to it
I ain't ready
Crazy little thing called love

This thing (this thing) called love (called love)
It cries (like a baby)
In a cradle all night
It swings (woo, woo)
It jives (woo, woo)
Shakes all over like a jelly fish
I kinda like it
Crazy little thing called love

There goes my baby
She knows how to rock 'n' roll
She drives me crazy
She gives me hot and cold fever
And she leaves me in a cool, cool sweat

Gotta be cool, relax, get hip
Get on my tracks
Take a back seat, hitch hike
Take a long ride on my motorbike
Until I'm ready
Crazy little thing called love

Audience: Gotta be cool, relax
Get hip
And get on my tracks
Take a back seat, hitch hike
Take a long ride on my motorbike
Until I'm ready (ready Freddie)
Crazy little thing called love

This thing called love I just can't handle it
This thing called love I must get round to it
I ain't ready
Crazy little thing called love
(Crazy) crazy little (thing called) love
Crazy little thing called love, take it Brian

Crazy little thing called love, hey, hey, hey
Crazy little thing called love
Crazy little thing called love,
(ad-libbed lyrics)
Crazy little thing called love, a bit more

Thing called love
Crazy little thing called love
Crazy little thing called love, yeah
Crazy little thing called love, hey
Crazy little thing called love, alright

Freddie: Goodnight, thank you.
