The picture of the fourth and final opening act, Marillion, was submitted by Lukáš Bosík. Pic 16 was submitted by Janneman. Freddie's voice is starting to weaken a bit, but he still has plenty of great moments tonight. Overall it's a great performance, as usual on this tour. He embellishes a lyric in Under Pressure: "Sat on a fence, but it didn't fuckin' work!" Freddie starts a vocal exchange with the audience (perhaps even to his surprise) during Another One Bites The Dust. He would continue to do this throughout the tour. Brian tosses in the riff of The Beatles' I Feel Fine after the impromptu, after which the band try out Gimme Some Lovin' once again as they did in Leiden. Towards the end of his solo spot, Brian plays bits of the melody from Golden Days, a song he wrote for Japanese pop sensation Minako Honda and would produce in 1987. Brian, before he starts to play Love Of My Life: "Freddie wrote a magical song. It goes like this." Fish (from Marillion, one of the acts who opened for Queen) joins the band for Tutti Frutti. After the song, Freddie tells the audience, "We love ya. What a corny, shitty thing to say, I know. But we love you anyway." Freddie cracks yet another Crazy joke: "This is called a guitar, and I can never play it. But I'll get away with murder; just watch!" Some footage from before this show is seen on the Magic Years documentary, and a few seconds of concert footage have been seen in many documentaries (Freddie kicking a ball into the audience). The complete show was broadcast on the radio in the US later in the year. It was named "Done Under Pressure" by the folks at Off The Record. We Are The Champions was broadcast on TV not long after the show by ZDF. This is apparently all that exists, according to one of the presenters as heard (in German) before the concert footage begins: "We would love, of course, to show you more footage of the show, but the air time is limited and I have to tell you also that it's also the band's management's fault, because they allowed us to film only 3 minutes, but I believe that 3 minutes are enough for this great band." However, another video of the show filmed by another crew exists.

This bootleg LP came out in 1986. It was reissued on CD in 1991 with the same gorgeous Rodney Matthews artwork. There is a plethora of bootlegs sourced from the LP versions and other radio broadcasts, some of which include the MC's speech on stage at the end of the show.

This version runs a half-semitone too fast. It is rooted from a vinyl bootleg of the same name released in 1986. Done Under Pressure is the very name of the radio broadcast on Off The Record in the US.

This 1992 bootleg is incomplete, but for a while it was the best-sounding version available. Some tracks are out of order.

This 2000 bootleg is a phenomenal document of the band, either straight from a radio broadcast or perhaps even a pre-FM soundboard tape. It essentially sounds as good as the official Live At Wembley release, with a bit more tape hiss. The MC's speech at the end of the show is included. A few gaps in the high quality tape are patched in with a different radio broadcast, which Gypsy Eye added their crackling sound to.
