Even years after, the loss of Freddie Mercury is one that weighs heavy on the classic rock world. On a brighter side, a new documentary film containing Queen concert footage from 1972 will hit select theatres nationwide, bringing the audience the first-ever live recording of the group's signature Wayne's World-style head-banger "Bohemian Rhapsody."
Queen: A Night in Bohemia boasts a full recorded concert during the time Queen spent on the road in 1975, including a Christmas Eve gig at the Hammersmith Odeon in London, unique interviews, backstage moments, never-before-seen footage of frontman Freddie Mercury and the recording sessions for the classic A Night at the Opera UK single. To find a theater near you playing Queen: A Night in Bohemia starring Mercury, Brian May and Roger Taylor, head on over to the Fathom Events webpage.
The concert film, fully remastered and restored for theater release, will be shown on the big screen at 7PM on March 8, via a collaboration with Fathom Events, Eagle Rock Entertainment and More2Screen, UltimateClassicRock notes. Tickets for the one-time event are available today at Fathom's website and over 200 theater box offices participating in the March 8 event. The show's set list originally saw live broadcast on BBC program Old Grey Whistle Test and includes fan-favorites like "Ogre Battle," "Killer Queen" and "God Save the Queen."
In the absence of Mercury, former American Idol contestant and "Ghost Town" singer Adam Lambert has taken over frontman duties for Queen, replicating Mercury's majestic persona and hitting the same sharp notes.
