  • Le concert de Queen à Hyde Park est un concert du groupe britannique Queen ayant eu lieu le 18 septembre 1976 à Hyde Park, à Londres.

Il a été organisé par Richard Branson, fondateur de Virgin Group et entrepreneur à l'époque. Nombre d'enregistrements audio de qualité variable (ainsi qu'un enregistrement vidéo) de ce concert existent et se sont retrouvés à plusieurs reprises sur des bootlegs. Selon Roger Taylor, le batteur de Queen, le live était prévu pour être diffusé en entier à la télévision dès 1977, mais cela n'a jamais eu lieu. Depuis, des extraits de qualité médiocre ont été révélés par des collectionneurs. Au fil des années, d'autres extraits vidéo ont été diffusés pour des documentaires, et les rumeurs concernant une future sortie officielle sont nombreuses. Par ailleurs, la performance de You Take My Breath Away à Hyde Park se retrouve dans le bonus de la réédition 2011 de A Day at the Races. (fr)
  • Queen live in Hyde Park 1976 was a concert by the band Queen. The concert took place on 18 September 1976 in Hyde Park, London. It was part of a brief summer tour of the UK by the band; they also played in Edinburgh and Cardiff on this tour. The Hyde Park gig was a free concert, which drew in a crowd of over 150,000, which was one of the largest audiences for any concert in London. The free concert was organised by Richard Branson, an entrepreneur at the time. There is more than one audio source of this concert as well as a video. According to Roger Taylor, the drummer of Queen, the complete show was supposed to be shown on TV in early 1977 but was never aired. Since then, the full show has leaked out to the Internet, though in terrible quality. Over the years, some of the footage has been shown in various documentaries and there are rumors of a future official release. The 2011 reissue of A Day at the Races includes a performance of "You Take My Breath Away" from this date. The rest of the day's music was provided by The Kiki Dee Band, Supercharge, The Rich Kids (not to be confused with Midge Ure's band of the same name), Broken Wreck Chords and Steve Hillage. Elton John did not appear duetting with Kiki Dee for "Don't Go Breaking My Heart". She sang to a 2/3 life-sized cardboard cut-out of Elton instead. A post-concert review by Record Mirror linked the performance, and especially Brian May's appearance and style, to the death of Jimi Hendrix, exactly six years earlier on 18 September 1970, but stating that "Queen aren't Hendrix,...they're Freddie Mercury." The concert was shot on videotape, then kinescoped onto 16 mm film. Reportedly, the film negatives have been damaged. However, snippets from a high quality videotape source appeared on the A Night at the Opera 30th Anniversary DVD. (en)
