Live Magic - Queen

...and recorded their performance on live aid as they captured the heart & souls of millions of people with their sheer showmanship, effort and musical genius. The following year they gave a live performance at Wembley stadium, Knebworth Park (England) and in Budapest. From this came the CD I now treasure "Queen Live Magic". From the cheers of the fans Queen launch into "One Vision" (from the motion picture Iron Eagle), this isn't one of my favourite ...
...him from his performance on live aid when he made everyone feel a champion despite his or her own feelings of inadequacy. The recording is over too quickly, Freddie tells the audience they have been fantastic and I don't doubt that anyone who was there went away without a natural "high".

Review of Live Magic - Queen

...unfair on Queen adn their live performances. I'm going to give you a really bad review here because I'm just so excited. This album is just pure and classic Queen. You can't fault the music in one way. I especially enjoyed singing of Freddie with the crowd with the classic dadadadda and the o so emphatic response.
