| Queen - Under Pressure (Live At Wembley Stadium 1986) |
 |
"Under Pressure" is a 1981 song by Queen and
David Bowie. It marked Queen's first released
collaboration with another recording artist,
and is featured on their 1982 album Hot
Space. The song was a hit at the time,
reaching #1 in the UK singles chart.
The song evolved from a jam session the band
had with Bowie at its studio in Montreux,
Switzerland, therefore it was credited as
co-written by the five musicians. According
to Queen bassist John Deacon (as quoted in a
French magazine in 1984), however, the song's
primary musical songwriter was Freddie
Mercury — though all contributed to the
arrangement. An earlier, embryonic version of
the song without Bowie called "Feel Like" is
widely available in bootleg form.
Queen guitarist Brian May and drummer Roger
Taylor have credited the bass riff to Deacon;
Bowie also said on his website that the
bassline was already written before he became
involved.
Bowie had originally come to the studios in
order to sing backing vocals in another Queen
song, "Cool Cat," which would end up being
edited out since he wasn't satisfied with
them. Once he got there, they jammed for a
while and wrote the song.
Very nice song sung by the great Freddie
Mercury and nicely played by Queen.

 |
12.07.1986, London (Wembley Stadium),
England.
Probably the most famous Queen concert, they
deliver an overall amazing show, playing
their classic songs and they got a rowdy
crowd on top of it all! The setlist was quite
special (Queen played 'Gimme Some Lovin' or
'Big Spender' only scarcely) and there were
even rumours about David Bowie's appearance
for 'Under Pressure' but that unfortunately
didn't happen.
Brian May said of the concert, "The Wembley
concerts in 1986 were the pinnacle for us. We
were at our height band-wise, and Freddie had
developed this phenomenal way of dealing with
stadium audiences. Being back home in London
playing two sell-out nights was such a big,
big occasion for us. None of us realized that
this would be almost the last time we played
together." The band played only two more UK
concert dates together.
