35 Years since Wembley, which was almost the last British Queen gig with Freddie had it not been for Knebworth tagged on at the end. It seems unbelievable in so many ways that it's so long ago, I was a child when it happened, and I remember some family members going but I was too young to know or care about what it was all about. Still, Wembley is significant for Queen and Queen fans, and I'm sure it holds a special place in all of our collective memory.
Nothing significant about my post, I just wanted to mention it, as if I was talking about it over a packet of crisps and a pint in the pub.

The Wembley shows were big back in the day, and to this day hold some decent significance for the band.
The first night is an extraordinary concert, with Freddie in great voice, Brian showing off his chops on the Old Lady, with John and Roger being the two links keeping the band's backbone in check. Spike's also doing well, as expected. One Vision, Tie Your Mother Down, Another One Bites the Dust, Now I'm Here, the acoustic set, BoRhap, Hammer to Fall, Crazy and Radio Ga Ga are great versions, with the rest of the songs doing alright, with one exception. Brian's solo is somewhat interfered with by the rain, and it's not as impressive as the second night's solo. However, the show is still great, and it deserves a watch/listen.
The second show, on the other hand, whilst still deserving a listen/watch, leaves some to be desired. Freddie is much weaker, albeit having wild card moments. The rest of the band is a bit sloppier in bits, but they overall seem to still be together and in it. Revisted, Bites the Dust, the impromptu, the Brighton Rock Solo and the acoustic set are all done amazingly, and are recommended for listening. The overdubs on the show seem unnecessary to me, even if the show was rough it should've been left untouched.
Overall, the first night is objectively better, but the second night is good too. I recommend you check out both shows.

Chssssssst!!! Silence!!
QPL can make a quick re-re-re-re-re-release of this show...
I´m sure Brian has found interesting new bits on these shows, to make a documentary about this
