Live at Wembley ’86
Live at Wembley '86 is a double live album from Queen, recorded on Saturday 12 July 1986 at Wembley Stadium in London during the Magic Tour. It came out on 26 May 1992, and a companion DVD followed in June 2003.
It captures the band on the road after A Kind of Magic, in front of a home crowd in one of Britain's biggest stadiums. The record has had a busy afterlife. A remastered edition with bonus tracks appeared in the US in August 2003 as Live at Wembley Stadium, a title later used elsewhere without the extras. In September 2011 a remastered DVD presented the Friday night show in full for the first time, and a Deluxe Edition added the Saturday concert on remastered CD.
