自己的话：

Freddie Mercury死于艾滋病后，皇后乐队的其他成员就计划举办一场演唱会来纪念Freddie Mercury传奇的一生，并且以此要唤醒公众对艾滋病的关注。

 这场演唱会是纪念皇后乐队的主唱，1992年4月20日在英国伦敦温布利球场举办的一场大型义演（为艾滋病的研究捐款），当晚温布利体育场涌进72000人，并且演唱面向全球约12亿观众进行直播，阵容堪称宇宙超级豪华。

Freddie Mercury是皇后的主唱，个人生活问题，Freddie Mercury去世的病因是艾滋病引发的肺炎。听过摇滚乐的，如果不知Glam Rock情有可原，如果不知道皇后乐队，那就太out了。我们耳熟能详的那些经典歌曲，如We are the champions，We will rock you，波西米亚狂想曲（记得有几年的中国的选秀节目，经常有人翻唱这几首，如2006年梦想中国冠军熊汝霖，比如王菲的日本武士馆演唱会翻唱波西米亚狂想曲等等），Radio Ga Ga,Under Pressure, Killer Queen等等都是来自皇后作品。

演唱会的第一部分是受到Freddie Mercury影响的各个着名乐队的暖场，这些乐队包括Metallica, Extreme , Def Leppard和 Guns N' Roses，很遗憾由于视频长度的限制，这部分没有完全收入发行的DVD中（DVD中只有部分，特别是我喜欢Def Leppard乐队只有一首歌）。
演唱会的第二部分是皇后乐队其他成员与邀请来的歌手和乐手的联手表演，这些特邀歌手和乐手包括：Elton John, Roger Daltrey (The Who), Tony Iommi (Black Sabbath), David Bowie, Mick Ronson ( Spiders from Mars), James Hetfield (Metallica), George Michael, Seal, Paul Young, Annie Lennox, Lisa Stansfield, Robert Plant (Led Zeppelin), Extreme ，Joe Elliott and Phil Collen (Def Leppard), Axl Rose and Slash (Guns N' Roses), Liza Minnelli(这阵容，在当时几乎是全球最顶尖的摇滚乐队和个人都来了)和其他人。

经典片段，David Bowie和Annie Lennox翻唱的的Under Pressure；唱过之后，David Bowie的单膝跪地祈祷。Elton John和枪花的Axl Rose翻唱的We will rock you和Elton John翻唱的波西米亚狂想曲。堪称经典中的经典！这张专辑，几乎成为我了解QUEEN的窗口，也是了解其他乐队的一个很好的演唱会，堪称成功演唱会的模板和顶峰，机会没有来者。

The Freddie Mercury Tribute Concert for AIDS Awareness 

was a benefit concert held on Easter Monday, 20 April 1992 at Wembley Stadium in London, England for an audience of 72,000.The concert was produced for television by Ray Burdis and broadcast live on television and radio to 76 countries around the world, with an audience of up to one billion. The concert was a tribute to the life of Queen lead vocalist, Freddie Mercury, with proceeds going to AIDS research. The show marked bassist John Deacon's final full-length concert with Queen (save a short live appearance with Brian May, Roger Taylor and Elton John in 1997). The profits from the concert were used to launch The Mercury Phoenix Trust, an AIDS charity organisation.

History

Following Freddie Mercury's death on 24 November 1991 from bronchopneumonia brought on by AIDS, the remaining members of Queen (John Deacon, Brian May and Roger Taylor) came together with their manager Jim Beach to organise a concert to celebrate the life and legacy of Mercury, and to raise money for AIDS research and spread awareness about the disease.In February 1992, at the annual BRIT Awards ceremony, May and Taylor announced plans for the concert. When tickets finally went on sale, all 72,000 tickets sold out in just three hours, even though no performers were announced apart from remaining members of Queen.

Concert

"Good evening Wembley and the world. We are here tonight to celebrate the life, and work, and dreams, of one Freddie Mercury. We're gonna give him the biggest send off in history!"

 —Queen guitarist Brian May.

The concert opened with a message from the three remaining members of Queen in tribute to Mercury. The music then commenced with short sets from bands that were influenced by the music of Queen, including Metallica, Extreme (playing a Queen medley), Def Leppard (who brought Brian May onstage for a version of "Now I'm Here"), and Guns N' Roses. Between bands, several video clips honouring Freddie Mercury were shown while roadies changed the stage for the following act's performance.

The second half of the concert featured the three remaining Queen members – John Deacon (on bass), Brian May (on guitar) and Roger Taylor (on drums) – along with guest singers and guitarists, including Elton John, Roger Daltrey (of The Who), Tony Iommi (of Black Sabbath), David Bowie, Mick Ronson (of Spiders from Mars), James Hetfield (of Metallica), George Michael, Seal, Paul Young, Annie Lennox, Lisa Stansfield, Robert Plant (of Led Zeppelin), Joe Elliott and Phil Collen (of Def Leppard), Axl Rose and Slash (of Guns N' Roses), Liza Minnelli, and others. Via satellite from Sacramento, California, U2 dedicated a live performance of "Until the End of the World" to Mercury.

Home releases

The concert was originally released in VHS form (usually in two tape releases worldwide), but due to time limitations, "Love of My Life" and "More Than Words" by Extreme, "Animal" and "Let's Get Rocked" by Def Leppard, Spinal Tap's "The Majesty of Rock", U2's "Until The End of the World", Mango Groove's "Special Star" and Robert Plant's version of "Innuendo" were removed in the original release. The US release also omitted Bob Geldof's performance of "Too Late God", and Zucchero Fornaciari's performance of "Las Palabras de Amor".

In April 2002, for the 10th anniversary of the Mercury Phoenix Trust, the second half of the concert featuring the performances by the surviving members of Queen was released on DVD and entered the UK charts at number 1."Innuendo" was not included on the DVD, at the request of Robert Plant. In addition, the original 4:3 footage had been cropped down to widescreen.

On 24 June 2013, Queen announced on their Facebook page that a new remastered version of the concert would be released in late 2013 on DVD and Blu-Ray. The DVD and Blu-Ray was released on 2 September 2013. Like the earlier, VHS release, this version excludes Extreme's "Love of My Life" and "More Than Words", Def Leppard's "Animal" and "Let's Get Rocked", Spinal Tap, U2 and Mango Groove from the opening acts segment of the show, and Robert Plant's "Innuendo" from the Queen+ segment of the show.

Several songs from the concert have also been released in audio-only format. An EP of the George Michael performances with Queen was released as Five Live in April 1993. It entered the UK singles chart at No. 1. Metallica's 3-song performance was made into a UK tour edition single for "Nothing Else Matters", entitled "Live at Wembley Stadium" and released in Europe just one week after the concert, on 27 April 1992. Additionally, the Guns N' Roses performance of "Knockin' on Heaven's Door" was released in August 1992 as a double A-side with the original Guns N' Roses studio recording of the song; it was also later featured on the band's Live Era '87–'93 album. The single entered the UK singles chart at No. 2. Def Leppard released their version of "Now I'm here" with Brian May from the concert as a B-side to their "Tonight" single.
