Queen

In the summer of 1986, Queen was riding high on the wave of their recently released album, "A Kind of Magic." This album, which hit the airwaves in May, included the iconic title track along with other hits like "One Vision" and "Friends Will Be Friends." Their performance at Wembley Stadium on July 12, 1986, as part of the legendary Magic Tour, truly showcased the band's dynamic energy and Freddie Mercury's extraordinary vocal improvisation skills—a hallmark of their live shows. Interestingly, this concert marked one of the band's final appearances with Mercury before his health declined due to AIDS, adding a layer of poignancy to an already electric setlist. Not only were they at the pinnacle of their career, captivating nearly 72,000 fans, but it also solidified Queen's legacy as one of the greatest live acts in rock history, leaving an indelible mark on the genre.
