Queen

We Will Rock You (Strand) (STAR)(STAR)(STAR) 1/2

This 90-minute video concert is not only beautiful but is a bargain priced at under $15 (with some proceeds going to the Magic Johnson

Foundation). The late Freddie Mercury is in top form, belting out ”Save Me” in his Superman T-shirt, whipping out a turbo-speed ”We Will Rock You” and throwing out jangly guitar riffs for ”Crazy Little Thing Called Love.” The direction doesn`t rely solely on the charismatic Mercury, however. Guitarist Brian May is spotlighted for his fingerings, and drummer Roger Taylor goes a bit over the tolerance end with an unusual timpani solo. Many young fans never had the chance to see Queen live and at its peak-here`s that chance.
