You know what is the shit? Concert DVDs - the next best thing to an actual concert. I don't care what type of music you like, it's always better when you can throw a DVD in, sit down and drink a beer, pause the concert, grab another beer and not miss a beat. While I boast a handful of personal concert favorites, Queen's 1986 masterpiece Live at Wembley Stadium is the type of shit that is truly the shit.
I mean seriously, look at that shit. Just looking at that cover gets me pumped up. The yellow jacket, the drama, the voice, the microphone attached to a mic stand that looks like Freddie Mercury broke it in half over his knee. Just marching around the stage, that shit is the shit. Add to that the final song and costume and it is just unreal. The awesome nature of the DVD is only increased by the fact that Queen had the crowd eating out of their hands the entire concert. Check it out for yourself and see some of Great Britain's least attractive and most passionate Queen fans rocking out and singing along the entire time. Amazing.
It was said at an early summer BBQ that if you can't appreciate Queen's Live at Wembley, then you can't appreciate Rock and Roll music. That is certainly true in this case - even more so because the DVD combines lesser known Queen songs with the reliable singles a casual fan would like to hear. Therefore, it is for that reason, and many more, that Queen's Live at Wembley Stadium is the shit.
