Fans who missed Queen's 1986 performance in Budapest, Hungary are in luck - the show is set for DVD release on 5 November, 2012.
The concert film, 'Hungarian Rhapsody: Queen Live In Budapest' will be released on DVD, Blu-Ray, 2xCD and DVD Deluxe Edition and a 2CD and Blu-ray Deluxe Edition at the beginning of next month.
The release also includes a new documentary, A Magic Year. This 25-minute film shows footage of the band following their legendary performance at Live Aid in London in 1985 - which took place in the lead up to the huge Budapest gig. The documentary boasts previously unseen footage and interviews and has been put together especially for the DVD release.
The Budapest gig was part Freddie Mercury's last ever tour with Queen and was filmed three years before the fall of the Berlin wall. It was the largest concert ever staged at the Népstadion in Budapest as the band played to 80,000 fans. It was the first Western Rock Concert staged in a stadium behind the then Iron Curtain.

Speaking of the DVD release, Queen stars Brian May and Roger Taylor issued the following joint statement.
"We’re delighted that Queen fans across the world will finally have the chance to relive this amazing moment for the band. We knew a stadium concert in Budapest was ground–breaking, but hadn’t quite anticipated what a historic night it would turn out to be.
"The concert looks fantastic on the screen in all its digitally re-mastered glory and the documentary does a great job of setting the scene – it really was an extraordinary time in the band’s history."
