This is a small, humorous movie in some ways, but it has a huge heart. What a nice experience.

It’s not bad or unwatchable but despite the amplitude of the spectacle, the end result is underwhelming.

I own this on DVD. It is one of the greatest things ever. Whenever I'm alone in the house, I'll turn off all the lights and crank up the sound. It is an amazing experience, made all the more powerful when you realize how ALIVE Freddie was back then. This was truly a divine performance (and yes, Love of My Life still makes me cry every time).The part that truly breaks my heart, though, is this: in the interview with Freddie Mercury, the interviewer asks "Do you think Queen will still be around in ten years?" Bear in mind that this was in 1982. Freddie seems so hopeful, so easygoing. He has no idea that in ten years the songbird will be silenced. It hurts me to see that. Oh, how I love him.For any die-hard Queen fans out there, this is a must-see.

Queen On Fire: Live at the Bowl DVD contains one of THE best Queen concerts. Every member of the band gave excellent performances, including Freddie Mercury's vibrant, arena rock voice will make the hair at the back of your neck stand up. Too bad I was too little to witness any of Queen's concerts when Freddie Mercury was still rocking the Earth. But now, with the magic of DVD and the power of digital remastering, you can almost feel as you're there among the other Queen fans. Great DVD for anyone getting into Queen or hardcore fans who do not own this instant classic yet. One of the minor concerns I have that really has nothing to do with the way they made the DVD, but the actual concert itself. The song "Flash" was an intro and was not really a live performance, and I would have liked to have seen it get performed live. Instead, they fly in on the helicopter when the concert starts.

Oh, this is terrible. The sound quality is awful. The songs are performed without any emotion at all. Almost as bad as a Rolling Stones marathon. Please, if we wanted to see something like this, we would have invented a time machine already. I mean, Freddie Mercury has one of the worst voices I personally have ever heard. He makes Roger Daltrey sound like an angel. And please tell me what is so great about Brian May's guitar? I mean, sure he made it himself and everything, but it's so screechy, it just makes you want to hurl! Many of these songs performed are from the notorious 'Hot Space' album, which has got to be the worst album ever recorded, with exception of 'Sgt. Peppers'. Full of mindless disco beats, these songs have no meaning at all, and will most likely give you a migraine before they even start. In conclusion, if you want to be mildly amused for a couple of hours, this should do the trick. For some real entertainment, I recommend The Spice Girls movie. Now that's entertainment!

This concert is really great! I bought the DVD when it came out, and I think it's real good. About one week ago, I finally got the CD. I actually think the CD is even better than the DVD, and ain't easy getting tired of..Another thing I like about the concert is that it's from 1982. Queen were only in Norway one time, and that was the same year, so I think they played mostly of the same songs in Norway.Until like one year ago I have always hated the Hot Space album, but now I think it's kind of funky and cool. Catchy beats... And it's cool to hear some of the songs in a live-version! The hole concert is a pretty good mix of hits and unknown songs. So it's kind of nice for the hardcore fans and the usual listeners...My favourite songs from the concert is: Back Chat, Dragon Attack, Play the Game, Action this day, Another one bites the dust...I really missed the old songs, like "Great King Rat", "You take my breath away", "My fairy King", "Doing Alright", "Death on two legs", "White Queen", "The March of the Black Queen", "Ogre Battle"...AND THE VERDICT IS...6,5 / 10Great show !
