Queen: Budapest (1986)

AKA: Hungarian Rhapsody: Queen Live in Budapest

Queen's historic landmark concert from 40 years ago (which penetrated the Iron Curtain and Eastern Communist Bloc) is digitally restored and re-released for a one-night only event in theaters. It looks fantastic and sounds amazing and features the band at the top of their game. The result is so powerful, you can feel it through the screen. Sadly, it also ended up being their final filmed live performance. The 2026 version includes a new intro from band members Brian May and Roger Taylor. I'm guessing John Deacon couldn't be fucked.
