10 Flawless Live Albums In Rock Music
1. Live At Wembley - Queen
Every band who's ever jammed in their garage always thinks that they're the greatest band in the world. Even if you can barely get two chords under your belt, you know that the attitude and passion you have for your craft goes beyond any other band that you've ever seen. Then you all go and see Queen and you get a serious education in rock and roll.
Though the rock monarch's Live Aid performance is definitely the more celebrated of their live presence, their return to Wembley Arena a few years later shows just how little rust they have gathered over the years. Running through their entire catalog, Freddie Mercury is a pure showman behind the microphone, using every ounce of his body to turn the night into a theatrical experience. Years after Live Killers, you also have a look at how the pop flavored Queen tackles a live setting, with songs like Another One Bites the Dust and One Vision sounding absolutely electric.
What's even crazier is how polished these guys sound even when outside of the studio setting, with Mercury's harmonies with Brian May and Roger Taylor going over a lot smoother even when they're moving at what seems like 1000 miles an hour. Because Queen weren't just your average band. These were seasoned pros who knew nothing else except for how to dazzle a crowd.
