The concert drew a record audience of 350,000 people and was captured for the big screen by award winning film-maker David Mallet. Filmed in high definition with 5.1 surround sound, the sound and visuals are of the highest quality available in cinemas today.
Queen and Paul Rodgers made a special trip to Ukraine on September 12th 2008 to play a two and a half hour free concert in Kharkov’s Freedom Square in partnership with The Elena Franchuk ANTIAIDS Foundation. The band wanted to support the cause whose message “Don’t let AIDS ruin your life” has special meaning for them after lead vocalist Freddie Mercury lost his battle with the virus.
Concert director David Mallet said:
“The big screen setting is an ideal medium in which to feel a sense of participation in the Kharkov event. This was by far the biggest show of its kind ever staged. The equipment needed two Antonov 124 aircraft – the world’s biggest cargo planes – to get it into the Ukraine, and it is almost impossible to imagine the scale of it once it was built. You would never get a sense of that on television or DVD, which is why it had to be made for the biggest of screens.”
