Album Description

Queen + Paul Rodgers' 'Return of the Champions' is a triumphant double live album that captures the essence of their electrifying performances during their 2005 tour. Recorded in May 2005 at the Hallam FM Arena in Sheffield, England, with the exception of 'Imagine', which was performed in Hyde Park, London, this album is a testament to the band's enduring legacy and their ability to deliver high-energy live shows.

The album features a stellar tracklist, including classic Queen hits like 'Tie Your Mother Down', 'Crazy Little Thing Called Love', and 'Bohemian Rhapsody', as well as songs from Paul Rodgers' illustrious career with Free and Bad Company, such as 'All Right Now' and 'Can't Get Enough'. The band's performance is nothing short of phenomenal, with Paul Rodgers' powerful vocals and the unmistakable guitar work of Brian May, all backed by the solid rhythm section of Roger Taylor and Spike Edney.

Released on 19 September 2005, 'Return of the Champions' reached #12 on the UK chart and #84 in the US, and was followed by a companion DVD in October. The album's success is a testament to the band's enduring appeal and their ability to create a sense of community and connection with their audience. With its outstanding performances, 'Return of the Champions' is a must-have for fans of Queen and Paul Rodgers, and a fitting tribute to the band's legacy as one of the greatest rock acts of all time.
