A nice selection of classic concerts here for fans of these artists - including Pink Floyd, Queen and Dire Straits.

These concerts are currently free to stream or download onto your device via Arte who are a reknown German free-to-air network so this is taken directly from their media library - in English and remastered DVD quality.

Links are in the headers below which go directly to the concerts themselves - ready to view or download.

Pink Floyd - Delicate Sound of Thunder (1988)

Delicate Sound of Thunder is a concert film by Pink Floyd, filmed during their A Momentary Lapse of Reason Tour from 19 August 1988 to 23 August 1988 at the Nassau Coliseum in Uniondale, New York, with some additional footage from 21–22 June 1988 at the Place d'Armes of the Château de Versailles, Versailles, France.

This version is the 2019 restored and remixed version so that alone makes it more than worthwhile!

Queen - Hungarian Rhapsody - Live in Budapest (1986)
Amazon price - £16.12

Coverage of the iconic rock band Queen's 1986 concert in Budapest, Hungary. The gig was notable for being played behind the Iron Curtain, with the crowd of 80,000 making it one of the largest music events held in Eastern Europe. With the band riding high on the wave of goodwill following their performance at Live Aid a year earlier, the gig arguably captures them at their peak. The songs performed include: 'Under Pressure', 'Bohemian Rhapsody', 'I Want to Break Free' and 'We Will Rock You'.

Dire Straits - Alchemy Live (1984)
Amazon price - £7.80

Alchemy: Dire Straits Live was recorded live at the Hammersmith Odeon in London on 22–23 July 1983, the final two concerts of Dire Straits' eight-month Love Over Gold Tour promoting their album Love Over Gold. The concerts were recorded by Mick McKenna using the Rolling Stones Mobile unit.

ZZ Top - Live from Texas (2007)
Amazon price - £12.99

Full Tracklisting: Got Me Under Pressure / Waitin' For The Bus / Jesus Just Left Chicago / I'm Bad, I'm Nationwide / Pin Cushion / Cheap Sunglasses / Pearl Necklace / Heard It On The X / Just Got Paid / Rough Boy / Blue Jean Blues / Gimme All Your Lovin' / Sharp Dressed Man / Legs / Tube Snake Boogie / La Grange / Tush.

Simon & Garfunkel - The Concert in Central Park (1981)
Amazon price - £10.25

What started as a suggestion for Paul Simon to play a concert in New York's Central Park blossomed, on September 19, 1981, into a full-blown Simon and Garfunkel reunion after an 11-year hiatus, and now proves a priceless snapshot of two of America's greatest folk-rock performers. Performed with a who's-who of East Coast session aces before a record-setting crowd of half-a-million fans, the Concert in Central Park finds its stars just shy of their 40th birthdays and very much in their primes, their voices sweet and pure and their playing relaxed, perfectly in tune and in synch.

    Good find. Worth noting that the channel hosting, Arte, is a great pan-European arts and current affairs channel in it's own right. Mostly German and French language but with English subs. Good selection of documentaries.

    Many thanks OP!

    The Queen concert is brilliant! Freddy sang a Hungarian folk song in Hungarian, which is quite frankly very impressive as you can actually understand every word of it. He was an absolute legend. Even now gives me goose bumps (positive) whenever I hear it. Heat!

    I’m good thank you. Just caring for the folks. We’re all safe and well thank you. As I said before your posts are always uplifting and we need to recall magical moments in our pasts. Concerts mean so much to me. I can certainly look back at happy moments and good memories. Watch Queen perform is sensational.

    Heated for the content.

    I will *actually* watch/listen to some of these over the next few days.

    Also thanks to the poster who commented about the channel where these originate. That is a gold-dust link in a time of Covid. Must watch the Damian Rice show before it goes off-stream later today.

    Be safe my change conscious friends.

    akamaihd.net will be good, bad, and everything else that fits between and outside.
    Akamai is a CDN (Content Delivery Network) and if you have ever downloaded anything from Amazon, it's likely Akamai was the broker for that.
