vinyl andcompact disc livealbum by English rock band Queen. It was recorded live during the European "Magic Tour " and released onDecember 1 ,1986 . However, it wasn't released in theUnited States until August of 1996. It received strong criticism by fans, due to the heavy editing of many songs. For example, the opera section was removed from "Bohemian Rhapsody", and "I Want to Break Free" was reduced to almost one verse and chorus. Queen fans generally consider theLive at Wembley '86 recording to be a more complete concert experience.Most of the performances were recorded at Knebworth Park (the band's last ever concert with its classic line-up).
