Play The Game - Queen Live Performance in Montreal 1981

Location: Montreal, QC, Canada Date: July 24, 1981

In July 1981, during their iconic live performance in Montreal, Queen was riding high on the success of their album "The Game," which had been released just a year earlier, in 1980. This album was a game-changer for the band, showcasing their ability to blend rock with disco influences, highlighted by hits like "Another One Bites the Dust" and "Crazy Little Thing Called Love." The Montreal concert is particularly memorable for its electrifying energy; Freddie Mercury's charisma and the band's tight musicianship captured the crowd, leaving a lasting legacy. Interestingly, this performance was part of their "The Game Tour," which not only cemented their status as one of rock's biggest acts but also marked a shift towards more theatrical live shows. The Montreal show remains a standout in Queen's storied history—it's a perfect example of their ability to blend emotional depth with infectious energy. Who wouldn't want to relive that unforgettable night?
