Review: Queen's Rock Montreal album, compiled from two electrifying live performances in Montreal during 1981, stands as one of their pinnacle live releases. Originally filmed for theater projection, the subsequent DVD's audio was said to feel lacking at home, but after Queen regained publishing rights they remastered both audio and visuals, resulting in this exceptional vinyl pressing. The concert showcases Queen at their peak, fueled by Freddie Mercury's fervor. 'We Will Rock You' kicks off with thunderous energy, setting the stage for an unforgettable journey through Queen's hits. From the rockier rendition of 'Play the Game' to the anthemic 'Somebody to Love,' each track pulsates with live vigor. Freddie's charismatic banter adds flair, while songs like 'Save Me' and 'Sheer Heart Attack' shine with emotional depth and raw energy. The show's climax with 'We Are the Champions' leaves audiences exhilarated, capping off a near-flawless performance.
