Queen: Budapest (4K UHD Bluray Video)

"Queen Budapest" celebrates the 40th anniversary of the first stadium rock concert by a Western band behind the Iron Curtain, as well as Queen’s last filmed live performance, which has now been restored in 4K. “Queen Budapest” marks a significant moment in the band’s history. The film was meticulously restored in 4K from the original 35-mm film footage by Sir Peter Jackson’s post-production company, Park Road Post Production, in New Zealand. The release is complemented by newly remixed audio from the original multitrack recordings, delivering the most impressive and immersive presentation of this concert to date. Recorded on July 27, 1986, at the Népstadion in Budapest during “The Magic Tour,” the concert was a historic milestone: Queen became the first Western rock band to perform behind the Iron Curtain, at a time of profound cultural and political change. In addition to the 80,000 sold-out tickets, an estimated 45,000 more people watched the concert outside the stadium. Some fans had even traveled from Russia and Poland to see the band live. “Queen Budapest” is the band’s final filmed live performance featuring Freddie Mercury and showcases Queen at the peak of their live prowess. The film documents the band performing legendary songs such as “We Will Rock You,” “We Are The Champions,” “A Kind Of Magic,” “Crazy Little Thing Called Love,” “Under Pressure,” “Who Wants to Live Forever,” “Hammer to Fall,” and “Bohemian Rhapsody.” It was directed by János Zsombolyai.
