Queen Rock Montreal is a live album by English band Queen. It was released in 2007 as a double CD / triple vinyl on 28 October in Australia, 29 October in Europe, and 30 October in the US.
It was recorded in Montreal, Quebec, Canada at the Montreal Forum on 24 November and 25 November 1981, ten years to the date before lead singer Freddie Mercury died of complications related to AIDS.
This marks the first official release of the film soundtrack to the concert film We Will Rock You on an audio-only format.
Unlike the original video release of We Will Rock You, which has been re-released as Queen Rock Montreal, the album and CD features the full show (including "Flash" and "The Hero" not on the film) fully remixed.
Before Killer Queen, Freddie remarked to the unusually docile crowd, "If you guys want to move around and shift your asses a little it's OK by us... you can take all your clothes off if you like too, doesn't matter,". While addressing the crowd, John Deacon and Roger Taylor played the opening riff to Under Pressure, to which Freddie jokingly told them to "Fuck off" while laughing. Freddie gets notably frustrated with the crowd's lack of enthusiasm and orders them to "Move it, you fuckers, come on!" during Jailhouse Rock, unbeknownst to him being "reserved" is part of the culture of the province and Canada. During Love of my Life, guitarist Brian May tells the crowd "You remember this!" However, after the passage where European crowds sing in the first verse was not sung by the crowd, Freddie remarked "You don't know it huh?" to which Brian replied "It's all right." Freddie states on the album, "We must tell you that we are filming this as you know and it's the last show in this series, it sounds like a television game, but forget the cameras, it's just you and us, alright?".
