Queen Rock Montreal & Live Aid

To quote the band Queen, "We will rock you!" and this DVD compilation will definitely do just that and features some of the greatest songs from this amazing band. With never before seen footage of the band and audio commentary by both Brian May and Roger Taylor, this could almost be the most comprehensive Queen music DVD available.

Featuring a variety of their hits that include "Bohemian Rhapsody" and "Another One Bites the Dust", this DVD has really allowed me to re-experience Queen and rejuvenated my interest in this classic band. The distributors have also produced one of the finest sounding DVD's available within the Australian market and provided you have the "right" surround sound setup, the DTS 5.1 version is pure audio bliss and almost makes you feel like you are part of this historical musical concert.

Needless to say, the move to digital has created a unique and amazing DVD that will truly make you appreciate how many years ago this concert was as the video has also been remastered. It's amazing stuff! With great picture quality and perfect sound, Queen Rock Montreal & Live Aid is the ultimate Queen music DVD and comes highly recommended! Perfect.. brilliant... it's almost like Queen played today!
