Pink Floyd: Wish you were here (50th anniv.) [Vinyl LP]

ANNIVERSARY EDITION<br/>REISSUE<br/>REMASTERED

Captured on July 27, 1986, at Budapest's Népstadion, during the band's 'The Magic Tour', the concert was a groundbreaking moment, as Queen became one of the first Western rock bands to perform behind the Iron Curtain during a period of profound cultural and political change. In addition to 80,000 tickets selling out, an estimated 45,000 people listened to the group outside, and some fans had travelled from as far away as Russia and Poland to see the concert.<br/> <br/>With the scale of the achievement, it would have been impossible to imagine that Queen would go on to play only a further five shows, ending forever their touring days with Freddie only one month later, with their final show played at Knebworth Park in England on August 9th, 1986.<br/> <br/>Queen Budapest is the last filmed live performance of the band with Freddie Mercury, showing the band at the height of their powers as a live act. The film captures the band performing iconic hits such as "We Will Rock You," "We Are The Champions," "A Kind Of Magic," "Crazy Little Thing Called Love," "Under Pressure," "Who Wants To Live Forever," "Hammer To Fall" and "Bohemian Rhapsody" as well as an acoustic arrangement of the traditional Hungarian folk song "Tavaszi Szél Vizet Áraszt".

8-Tracks features eight essential classics selected from the Pink Floyd's 1971 - 1979 era. The track list includes the instantly recognisable hits 'Money', 'Wish You Were Here', 'Another Brick in the Wall, Part 2', 'Time' and 'Comfortably Numb', alongside earlier cuts in 'One Of These Days' and 'Wot's... Uh The Deal', as well as an exclusive full version of 'Pigs On The Wing', previously available only on the 1977 Animals 8-Track cartridge release. The track sequence has been edited by Steven Wilson for a continuous listening experience.<br/><br/>8-Tracks documents the full measure of Pink Floyd's transition into their breakthrough era, propelled into superstardom throughout the 1970s. The eight-year period this special release celebrates encompasses music from some of the band's most successful and celebrated records ever. 1971's Meddle, 1972's Obscured by Clouds, 1973's The Dark Side of the Moon, 1975's Wish You Were Here, 1977's Animals and 1979's The Wall. <br/><br/>8-Tracks offers a brilliant insight into this incredible period of creativity.
