Hungarian Rhapsody: Queen Live in Budapest '86 to Play in Theaters

Screenvision, More2Screen and Eagle Rock are bringing a new, re-mastered version of Hungarian Rhapsody: Queen Live in Budapest '86 to theater across the U.S. on September 20, 23 and 27.

The concert, filmed July 27, 1986, features many of Queen's most beloved songs including Bohemian Rhapsody, Crazy Little Thing Called Love and We Are the Champions. The tour was the last with the late Freddie Mercury.

This special performance is introduced with a 25-minute documentary feature including rare footage – some of which has never been seen before – that gives the inside track on events, following the band from just after their historic performance at Live Aid in 1985 through the year leading up to the concert in Budapest. Using archive footage from rehearsals, interviews with the band in studio and on the road during the Magic Tour, this fascinating feature has been specially created for this new cinema release.

Brian May and Roger Taylor said in a statement "We're delighted that Queen fans across the world will finally have the chance to relive this amazing moment for the band. We knew a stadium concert in Budapest was ground-breaking, but hadn't quite anticipated what a historic night it would turn out to be. The concert looks fantastic on the cinema screen in all its digitally re-mastered glory and the documentary does a great job of setting the scene – it really was an extraordinary time in the band's history."

To see the closest theater presenting the film, go to Screenvision.

Too Bad that they won't permit the film to appear on DVD, so all we can do is transfer old VHS & Laserdisc editions onto DVD-R.
