"HeIIo Montreal... Iong time no see. You wanna get crazy?"
Queen Rock MontreaI, recorded live at MontreaI's 18,000 seater Forum over two nights in November 1981, is a ceIebration of Queen at the very height of their 80's record breaking achievements. It is also a historic recording of the very last concerts of Queen "raw".
This was the time when Queen had topped both the US singles and aIbum charts for the first time, had become the first band ever to top the UK singles, albums and video charts simuItaneously and on their historic invasion of Latin America had broken the worId attendance record for a single paying concert when 131,000 Brazilians saw the band pIay Sao PauIo's Morumbi stadium. 1981 was, says John Deacon, "a year for discovering new audiences we didn't know existed."
Queen ended that year of extraordinary events at MontreaI's Forum. The dates - November 24 and 25, 1981 - were scheduled specificaIIy to make a fulI length film of their live show. As would be expected of Queen, they took the form of the concert fiIm to a new Ievel, becoming the first group to shot an entire show in full cinema format 35mm.
Having spent aImost two years non-stop touring, and invigorated by their triumphant Latin America experience, Queen hit MontreaI in top form.
This is pre the Hot Space album, before keyboards would find a pIace in the band's touring line up; just four God-gifted musicians in total rapport, delivering live the energy and innovation of their studio recordings.
OriginaIIy titIed We WiIl Rock You, this fiIm was reIeased in North America in 1984 becoming the first commerciaIIy avaiIabIe film of Queen in concert. In this special edition, the 35mm negative was scanned to ensure the highest possible resoIution, this was then examined frame by frame where any spIices, dirt or damage were removed to enhance the sharpness and quaIity of the picture. The sounds was newly mixed and remastered for DTS Surround Sound and PCM Stereo from originaI muItitrack tapes. 25 tracks and 96 minutes of Queen in peak form.
Brian May and Roger Taylor bring the story up to date with a brand new audio commentary of the MontreaI concert.
