DVD Reviews of Queen - On Fire at the Bowl
DVD Review: The Best Yet!
Summary: 5 Stars
I have yet to buy a live Queen DVD that wasn't well worth the money spent, then again I haven't seen all the DVD's that are available. "On Fire at the Bowl" is simply a great show, Freddy sings with a voice that is fresh and unfatigued, unlike some other concerts where it's apparent that touring for long periods was very hard on his exceptionally awesome vocal chords. If it's possible, Freddy brings even more energy to this show, albeit he had plenty of energy in the other concerts as well. The "On Fire at the Bowl" incarnation of "Somebody to Love" at 7 min. 53 seconds, plays nearly 3 minutes longer than the original recording released on November 12 1976, on "A Day at the Races" and is absolutely fabulous. "On Fire at the Bowl" was recorded on June 5th 1982 at the Milton Keynes Bowl in Milton Keynes, England. I was fortunate enough to see the same Queen show when they played in my hometown of Portland, Oregon on September 2nd of the same year.
All in all, this DVD brought smiles to my face and allowed me to relive some of the memories that will last for a lifetime. Whether you're a Queen fan or not, this show will not disappoint. I give this DVD my highest praise and a full recommendation as one of, if not the best Queen live recordings that you and I will ever be fortunate enough to see.
DVD Review: Very good.
Summary: 4 Stars
Having the chace to watch this performance is like having the chance to see why Freddy Mercury was a show alone by himself, able to shadow such a great bunch of musicians playing along with him in Queen, and even making them to look like amateurs at some points of the show... and not to talk about the "Paul Rodger's Queen", which looks like a garage ensemble if compared to the band you'll see perform on this DVD.
Quite good on the sound and image, though it still looks like an old VHS, for which it deserves 4 rather than a full five star rating.
Extras are really acceptable and fun, specially when the band talks about how good the lightning and the stage setup were by the time...
Vintage.
DVD Review: can't go wrong with queen
Summary: 4 Stars
The Wembley concert is the best Queen ever did, but this one is pretty darn good!DVD Review: Queen - On Fire At The Bowl
Summary: 5 Stars
This is truly great concert! The editing was very well done, too.
If anyone ever doubted Freddie Mercury's voice and range, well, all they have to do is watch this concert and be amazed. What a talent! Virtually every other singer pales in comparison. The entire band is at at it's height, and having seen may groups in my day, I will say Queen is on a very short list of the best 5 bands ever! Everyone that has seen it has said "WOW!!!"
DVD Review: Excellent
Summary: 5 Stars
I bought this for my son, who somehow at 18 is a Queen fan. The video is awesome. I had seen it at my athletic club, and it makes you keep on the treadmill, even when you are tired!
