What happens

Queen – Live In Budapest (original title; retitled later as Hungarian Rhapsody: Queen Live in Budapest) is a concert film of the performance at the Népstadion in Budapest on 27 July 1986 by the British rock band Queen. It was part of The Magic Tour, the band's final tour with their original lead singer Freddie Mercury. Queen were one of the few bands from Western Europe to perform in the Eastern Bloc during the Cold War, and the film had a limited theatrical release in Eastern Bloc countries in 1987 and 1988. The concert was physically released on VHS and Laserdisc in the UK and Japan on 16 February 1987 under the original title Queen Live In Budapest, and on CD, DVD and Blu-ray for the first time on 5 November 2012 worldwide, except in the United States where it was released a day later. The concert title is a play on the Hungarian Rhapsodies by Franz Liszt and one of Queen's most celebrated hits, "Bohemian Rhapsody". (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
