SLCene Suggests: Queen’s Hungarian Rhapsody: Live in Budapest ’86

QUEEN: HUNGARIAN RHAPSODY: LIVE IN BUDAPEST ’86, VARIOUS LOCATIONS, opens Thursday, 7:30 p.m., $12.50

I don’t have a lot of musical regrets, and I was too young to do anything about it when the band was still around, but I REALLY wish I could have seen Queen in concert. And no, the version of “Queen” that’s toured with Paul Rodgers taking the place of iconic frontman Freddie Mercury doesn’t count. I have, however, seen plenty of Queen live shows on TV and video, and they were masterful rock performers. This concert in front of 80,000 fans in Budapest has been remastered into hi-def and translated into 5.1 surround sound, and includes a short documentary about the band’s year from 1985’s majestic Live Aid performance through this show. I can’t wait. You can see it several places on Sept. 20, 23 and 27:

• HOLLYWOOD CONNECTION 15, 3217 SOUTH DECKER LAKE DR., WEST VALLEY CENTER
• CARMIKE WEST JORDAN 12, 1600 WEST FOX PARK DR., WEST JORDAN
• PROVO WYNNSONG 12, 4925 N. EDGEWOOD DR., PROVO
