Queen

Before the iconic live recording at Råsunda Stadion on June 7, 1986, Queen had just released their album *A Kind of Magic*, which came out just weeks prior in 1986. This album was a significant turning point for the band as it not only showcased their continued evolution in sound but also featured hits like "One Vision" and the title track "A Kind of Magic," which resonated deeply with fans. Interesting fact: *A Kind of Magic* served as a soundtrack for the film *Highlander*, which further cemented Queen’s presence in popular culture during the '80s. Their live performances around this time were electrifying, reaching new heights of energy and theatricality. Notably, the concert at Råsunda was part of a legendary European tour that saw them perform in front of huge crowds, marking a high point in their career and demonstrating their ability to connect profoundly with fans, especially in their home crowd of Sweden.
