Queen Rock Montreal IMAX experience teased in trailer<\/h3>\n

Queen\u2019s epic 1981 Montreal concert film has been digitally re-mastered for IMAX for the first time ever.<\/p>\n

Queen Rock Montreal is heading to IMAX cinemas around the world from January 18-21, 2024 and just from the trailer it\u2019s clear how crystal-clear the restored footage looks.<\/p>\n

Sir Brian May said: \u201cI don\u2019t think we quite realised it at the time, but this film has preserved one of the highest peaks in Queen\u2019s touring life, on stage in the old glory days.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe director was very much focussed on Freddie, and this now stands as probably the most precious intimate capture ever of Mr Mercury at his full awesome power.\u201d<\/p>\n

Queen drummer Roger Taylor simply added: \u201cEnjoy. We were young!\u201d<\/p>\n

A statement on the news read: \u201cQueen Rock Montreal captures a pivotal moment in the band\u2019s history. When Queen returned for the fourth time to Montreal\u2019s 18,000-seat Forum in November 1981, where this concert was recorded, it was after a 15-month absence during which they became the biggest band in the world. Fuelled by the release of The Game album, their smash single Under Pressure, and extensive touring, Queen now dominated the charts in every major territory across the globe.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe two shows that took place in Montreal \u2013 November 24 and 25, 1981 \u2013 were arranged specifically to set Queen up for another first: shooting a full-length concert film to properly document their live show, highlighting the state-of-the art sound recording. Having spent almost two years on the road, the group was ready for such a challenge and hit Montreal in top form for what would end up being two consecutive sold out, legendary nights.\u201d<\/p>\n
