Queen fans will get the chance to witness a concert from the band’s heyday on the big screen thanks to the upcoming release of Queen Rock Montreal. A remastered version of the concert film premieres in IMAX theaters for a limited run beginning January 18th, 2024.
Originally released in 2007 under the title We Will Rock You, Queen Rock Montreal has now been remastered and tailored specifically for the IMAX screen, complete with 12-channel surround sound, crystal-clear images, and customized theater geometry. Billed as “a larger-than-life, front-row immersive experience,” the film consists of footage from two 1981 performances at Montreal’s 18,000-seat Forum. These recordings have With many of their biggest hits on the setlist, the film captures Freddie Mercury, Brian May, Roger Taylor, and John Deacon performing at the height of their fame.
“I don’t think we quite realized it at the time, but this film has preserved one of the highest peaks in Queen’s touring life, on stage in the old glory days,” May said in a press release. “The director [Saul Swimmer] was very much focused on Freddie, and this now stands as probably the most precious intimate capture ever of Mr. Mercury at his full awesome power.”
Meanwhile, Taylor added simply: “Enjoy. We were young!”
