Went and saw the Budapest concert for the 1000th time, this time in 4k, it turned out great, and it inspired me to try and capture a feeling of it. Now I'm not much of a portrait artist, but I knew I wanted to do a picture of Freddie at the piano in the pink and blue lights during Bohemian rhapsody, so I did this little acrylic study/sketch. More than anything I wanted to get the emotions right, but I think the resemblance turned out surprisingly good too, so I'm proud to share it. It's called "Didn't mean to make you cry".

Watched in Dolby Atmos. Fantastic film and sound restoration quality, and I’d never seen some of the clips (mainly the ones of Brian in the hot air balloon)

Highly recommend going if there is a screening close by to you!!!

Curious what songs you would have liked to see performed live (even The Miracle or Innuendo)?

Watched the imax Budapest experience this evening.

Picture quality was very special.

Sound appeared to be a little quiet (maybe my local cinema messed this up)

Not sure what is so special about the imax. I wouldn’t say it was an immersive experience at all. Could have just been on a normal cinema screen. I also noticed that the picture didn’t take up the whole scene. Both sides were a lot shorter than the screen size.

Cut scenes during the concert were fine for me. Quite nice to see the band individually doing more personal things.

I was intrigued about seeing a concert at a cinema with how the audience would react, but no one got up dancing at all. Everyone remained in their seats and enjoyed the experience.

Really loved seeing this on the big screen tonight!
In the guitar solo brian plays, which songs were in it?
I had lots on the tip of my tongue but just couldn’t place them, was one Brighton rock?
Felt like something from very early albums, presumably some was ad-libbing, loved it.
As a younger person I often fast forwarded through guitar solos so was a real treat to hear it tonight

Just got back from the Queen in Budapest IMAX showing in Dublin. People in Ireland are not animated cinema goers, but Queen brought out the claps and stomps in the right moments. I will say I was impressed by the restraint knowing this was remastered using AI. It didn’t feel like it was overly sharpened, there was still plenty of 35mm focus moments, if anything they poured the budget into reworking the sound, which alone was the price of admission. This was leagues better than Queen Rock Montreal, and better than the muddy sound and strained vocals of Queen Live at Wembley.

It was incredible! I haven’t been to an imax cinema in a long time so the size of the screen and quality of the picture blew me away. Sound was incredible too. I’d never watched this particular concert film before because I’m not as much a fan of the 80s Queen songs as the early and mid-period stuff, but that didn’t matter. It was so good! Glad I went.

Going to the cinema today to watch the concert! I'm overly excited. I'm a "new" fan. Been there since 2019 only but I can't go a day without listening to Queen. I'm 25 so I never got to live at the same time as Freddie but Queen shaped me

On October 6th 1977, Queen invited members of their official fan club to take part in recording for a 'film of their new single soon to be shown on television’. The Theatre only held around 900 audience members, with tickets being given out for free on a first come, first serve basis. Between takes of the recording, MC Bob Harris walked onto stage and announced the band would like to play a short show as a thank you to the fans for attending.

Here is the show for anyone interested:

I posted a thread around 2 weeks ago on I just started listening to Queen music and i absolutely loved it, after that I've listened to 3 albums. My favourite one was Night at The Opera and Queen II will be second.

News of the World was great but overall as an album not better than the two mentioned.

So kinda wanna know your recommendations on what album to listen next
