The Freddie Mercury Tribute Concert (1992)

Count on Freddie Mercury to bring such a distinctive group of artists together for a concert memorializing his untimely passing while helping to raise awareness of the then rather frightening "new" disease of AIDS. Who else but the inimitable Queen frontman could have brought together such disparate people as Axl Rose and Liza Minnelli? And yet here they—and an incredible roster of other A-list stars—all are, in this often breathtaking 1992 concert which has long been on the "must have" lists of Queen fans. While this release is one of Eagle Rock's "SD Blu-ray" series and may invite a bit of head scratching for its use of DTS-HD High-Resolution audio (rather than Master Audio), the performances are amazing and the historical value of the disc probably outweighs any technical concerns that some videophiles and audiophiles may have.
