Wikipedia article
'Queen Live at Wembley' 'Stadium', also referred to as 'Queen Live At Wembley', 'Queen At Wembley', 'Queen Live At Wembley '86', 'Live At Wembley' and 'Live At Wembley '86', is a recording of a concert at the original Wembley Stadium, London, England on Saturday 12 July 1986 during Queen's 'Magic Tour' and transmitted and released in various audio and video forms (including the 'Queen: Live at Wembley Stadium' DVD).
Transmission and release history
The recorded concert was first seen as a The Tube Special on TV. This was transmitted in mono (as was normal before NICAM stereo became standard on UK TV in the early 1990s). However, it was simultaneously broadcast over the radio in stereo so that viewers had the option to mute their televisions, play the audio on a nearby radio and enjoy the worlds first ever stereo simulcast in a similar way that previous live (as opposed to, in this case, pre-recorded) classical performances had sometimes been offered.
The recording was first commercially released in December 1990 as an edited VHS (missing 9 songs), then as the Live at Wembley '86 audio CD in 1992. This was followed by a DVD release as 'Queen: Live at Wembley Stadium' (in its entirety) to coincide with the CD rerelease in 2003. The DVD has gone five times platinum in the United States, four times platinum in the United Kingdom, and achieved multi platinum status around the world. On 5 September 2011, the 25th Anniversary Edition of the concert was released as a standard 2-DVD set and a deluxe 2-DVD and 2-CD set which also included the entire Friday 11 July 1986 concert on DVD for the first time. Eagle Rock Entertainment released a 25th Anniversary Edition in the US and Canada on 12 March 2013.http://www.queenonline.com/en/news-archive/live-at-wembley-25th-anniversary-edition-dvd-to-get-us-and-canadian-release/
