The film begins with a black and white footage of Queen's past performances, and then quickly transitions to the opening moments of the concert. Freddie Mercury emerges on stage wearing a yellow jacket and black shorts, and begins belting out "One Vision," the opening track to the band's 1986 album A Kind of Magic. The crowd explodes in excitement, as the energy of the band is infectious from the very start.

From there, the film takes us on a tour through the band's incredible catalog, with hits like "Tie Your Mother Down," "Radio Gaga," "Bohemian Rhapsody," and "We Will Rock You" all making an appearance. Throughout the show, Freddie Mercury's larger-than-life presence dominates the stage, beckoning the audience to in on the fun.

There are many highlights of the concert, including May's guitar solo on "Brighton Rock," Deacon's "Another One Bites the Dust," and Taylor's drum battle with Mercury during "Under Pressure." But undoubtedly, the most memorable moment of the night comes during "Love of My Life," in which Mercury steps back from the microphone and allows the crowd to sing the entire song for him. The result is a hauntingly beautiful moment that showcases the power of Queen's music to connect with audiences.

One of the most impressive things about the film is the way the camera captures the scale of the concert. From the opening shot of the stadium to the sweeping panoramic shots of the crowd, the film creates a sense of epic grandeur that matches the band's bombastic sound. The lighting design is also noteworthy, with a rainbow of colors washing over the stage and illuminating the band in dramatic ways.

But ultimately, it's the band's performance that steals the show. Freddie Mercury's charisma is undeniable, as he struts, dances, and crowds surfs his way through the concert. May's guitar playing is virtuosic, and he delivers stunning solo after stunning solo. Deacon and Taylor hold down the rhythm section with precision and power, anchoring the band's sound as it careens from one song to the next.

In between songs, the band engage in playful banter with the crowd, with Mercury joking that "the most important thing is to wear a condom" before launching into "Under Pressure." The camaraderie between the four musicians is palpable, as they grin and high-five each other throughout the show.

All of this combines to create an unforgettable concert experience that is captured perfectly in Queen - Live At Wembley '86. Even for those who never had the chance to see the band live, the film is a thrilling way to experience the full force of Queen's music and stage presence. It's a testament to the band's enduring legacy, and a tribute to the inimitable Freddie Mercury, who ed away just five years after the concert was filmed.

In sum, Queen - Live At Wembley '86 is a must-watch for any fan of classic rock or Queen specifically.
