Queen at their peak..no extra keyboard player just four great musicians.That version of Save Me is just wonderful..there will only be one Freddie Mercury for eternity

I saw it last night in Montreal, sold out, the sound and the pictures magnificent. RIP Freddie, one of the greatest entertainer We miss you John Thank you Roger & Brian

[@neilparks2078]

Another One Bights The Dust, surely a creative low in Queen's career. Nifty and uncharacteristic rhythm parts by Brian though.

[@jeanlouisjlpphotodronevide4499]

I was fortunate to be at the first show in November of 1981. What a show what a night!

[@nehagrace2170]

Greetings, Sir Brian. Just watched Queen Rock Montreal in Imax - seemed like Freddie was performing in person. Felt so real. Please keep releasing other live shows of Freddie. Die Hard fan of Freddie Mercury and of Queen from Auckland New Zealand. You guys are the best Rock band and Freddie is simply a Rock God. Much love ❤❤❤❤

[@stevenbootes1979]

Just to echo the other comments, thanks Dan Dan for uploading this! Brian May is always a delight to listen to!

I go to see this on the 19th, how lucky that group was to hear, in person, from Brian May!

[@2010ymg]

Thank you, Brian, Roger, and the team who brought this stunning concert in IMAX format. I've just watched it in Montreal, and I agree it was an emotional experience. The results are mindblowing. I'm sure I'm not the only one who shed a tear or two thinking where we were in 1981. We all love you dearly. ✌❤

[@Natrsamson]

Saw it in Quebec City Friday night❤❤! What I’m most grateful is that I saw them last October in Toronto Queen’s & Adam Lambert!!!! I can’t get enough my fave group of all time! Bless you Brian & Roger! Thank you Adam Lambert for making Queen alive again! I’m a fan of you since American Idol! I’m blessed to have witnessed both this year🥰💋❤️🇨🇦

[@micheletrost3173]

I am so glad the IMAX of Queen was extended so that I was able to see this amazing film footage on January 30th, 2024, here in my hometown of Ontario, California IMAX theater (named for Ontario, Canada, the neighboring province to Quebec (Montreal). Thank you a million times over for this amazing footage of Queen in Montreal (and, for this video of Sir Brian May's introduction of the film). I appreciate that I saw the film before seeing this introduction because I was just fully immersed - and mesmerized by the intensity of my feelings for Queen! I needed tissues a few times!! AMAZING!!! Oh, how I miss Freddie 😪!! I was grateful for Queen during my high school years (1976-1980) as I escaped disco by focusing on Queen!!!! (and, a few other bands, lol). All the good vibes and love to Queen, everyone that made this film a reality and to my fellow fans!! God Bless!

[@donnacubstead2341]

Saw it tonight in Houston,TX. It was awesome! Queen Rocks!!!!

[@louisecote3542]

Usually,Montréal is always a very enthousiastic crowd ,as sir Brian just said ,but before the concert,the filmmaker asked the audience to be quiet in order to help the sound team and Freddy was not too happy with the response of the public.The film doesn't reflect the usual vibe of the city,that's the only negative point.Enjoy!

[@m.rubland6737]

Brian is so sweet. He made me listen to his speech on such a personal level, I joined the applause at the end, because it feels like he talked to me too.

[@emanuelemarchisio3818]

I already owned the blu-ray of this, but I went to watch it yesterday: the picture restoration was astounding, as if the film was shot yesterday. The sound really helped pucked up all the minutias of John's play, of Brian's extra notes. I could notice things that are not so clear in the BD version. It was such a treat: thanks to Queen and their management for putting this out. I hope they'll pull the full Wembley concert soon

[@leolopez_0728]

Such a joy to listen to Brain who is a huge global superstar but also seems to be a very good communicator. I WAS at BOTH nights at the Montreal Forum back in November 1981, one of the truly amazing highlights of my concert life, enjoyed and loved every second of both nights. I had lived in Montreal but this time I was only visiting and was surprised to see that Queen was in town even if they were not touring. I saw them in 1978 at the other Forum in Inglewood California and that show was much more impacting in my life but this one was also great and had a lot more hits. If the IMAX version comes to Halifax, I will go see it. And IMAX is also by the way, Canadian. 😉

[@dramaqueen6G]

I saw it in NYC last week. I'd been to loads and loads of rock concerts but somehow missed Queen. So I was thrilled to be able to see this show. It was SO worth it! Not only do you get the feeling of sitting with the audience in the arena, but as Brian said, you also get these incredible closeups that you'd never see otherwise. It was kind of an other-worldly experience. I want to see it again! I also hope this prompts bringing more live performances to IMAX. And let's start with Queen at Live Aid. 😄

[@HundXanthippe]

Went to the cinema yesterday and saw the concert. That was Queen.!!! The spontaneity, the power, the “merciless” transitions from one song to the other. The drums that the young Roger Taylor "hammered", the perfectly placed bass of a dancing John Deacon, the precise finger work of Brian May and of course Freddie Mercury on the piano, the guitar, who kept his colleagues together and drove them to peak performance He alsodemanded and gave from himself. John Deacon was so right to say goodbye.

I REALLY hope they do another weekend....one wasn't enough. The local IMAX told me they were not allowed to do matinee's. I could see most shows were jammed, (and that didn't include walk ups), so went to go to the late one last nite, Sunday. Went and my car wouldn't start (it has been freezing out, and passenger seat warmer was left on SIGH). My lil jumper was too cold to work, so by the time I warmed that up, and got car started, too late to make show (which was likely sold out by then). I WANT TO SEE THIS!!!! I know many that for one reason or another couldn't make this weekend. And why they chose dead of winter is even worse. PLEASE, add another weekend (preferably Spring, Summer or Fall lolol). I wonder how many couldn't get in the sold out theaters, even if their car batteries weren't being difficult?!

[@maria_haarajoki]

I definitely hear you. I saw it on thursday night, but almost didn't make it because of wind and snow!! I managed to get there just before it started and the concert was fabulous! It almost felt like you were there in Montreal 1981. But as you said, winter (especially January!) is not the best time.
