Queen

In 1986, during their performance in Budapest on July 27, Queen was at a pivotal moment in their career, following the release of their album "The Works." This album, which came out in 1984, featured some of the band's iconic songs, including "I Want to Break Free," the very track they performed in Budapest. The concert was part of their successful World Tour after the album's release and showcased their ability to draw massive crowds, with the Népstadion being a testament to their global appeal. Notably, this live performance was part of a historic tour that marked Queen's increasing popularity in Eastern Europe post-communism, reflecting the band's versatility and widespread influence. The show was later released as part of the "Hungarian Rhapsody" DVD, capturing not only their musical prowess but also the cultural significance of their presence in Hungary during that era.
