'Live In Budapest' was released in 1987 and features an edited version of the concert at the Nepstadion in 1986. Seven of the tracks are edited, while four are omitted altogether. The video also includes four additional inserts during the concert, featuring footage of Queen in and around Budapest.

The start of the video features an a-capella version of 'Tavaszi Szel Vizet Araszt', with aerial footage of Budapest, and time-lapse photography of the stage being set up and the audience arriving, as 'One Vision' starts. Insert 1 features footage of Queen arriving in Budapest, Freddie shopping, and him practising 'Tavaszi Szel Vizet Araszt'. He then rehearses his sinaglong in the empty stadium, before the video cuts to the singalong from the concert itself. Insert 2 appears during Brian's Guitar Solo (the sound is still audible but much quieter than normal) and features footage of Brian in Budapest, and going up in a hot air balloon. Insert 3 features footage of John in Budapest, talking to local people, while insert 4 features footage of Roger at a go-karting circuit, racing and signing autographs.

'Hungarian Rhapsody' was released in 2012 and is a remastered version of the video. It was released on both DVD and Blu-ray, with some versions including a double CD of the concert, featuring the full versions of all songs plus the missing four tracks, to give the complete show (disc 1 lasting 57:46, disc 2 lasting 48:53). In terms of the concert and inserts, the video footage is absolutely identical, with the same edits and camera angles (but a vastly improved soundtrack and picture). The only real differences between the two releases are that 'Hungarian Rhapsody' has new opening and closing credits, and runs at the correct speed, whereas 'Live In Budapest' runs approximately 4% faster so all songs are slightly shorter.

The main menu and sub-menus simply feature audience noise. The options for both DVD and Blu-ray are to play the concert (title 1), select a song, play the 'A Magic Year' documentary (title 2), select subtitles (English, German, Spanish, French, Italian or Portuguese) or change audio (Audio LPCM stereo, or DTS surround sound). The DVD menu has proper submenus, while the Blu-ray menu appears as a horizontal band with popup menus. Both the DVD and Blu-ray contain 30 chapters, with 23 being actual songs, 4 being inserts, 2 being the very start and end, and the remaining chapter being an intro improvisation to 'Tutti Frutti'. Only the 23 songs themselves are available through the song selection options.

The DVD and Blu-ray add a bonus documentary titled 'A Magic Year', as title 2 lasting 26:54, which tells the story of the year from 'Live Aid' upto and including the Budapest show. It features interviews with Freddie, Brian, Roger, John, Jim Beach, Bob Geldof and 'Highlander' director Russel Mulcahy, about the film, 'A Kind Of Magic' album, songwriting, and touring. It features clips and out-takes from the various 'A Kind Of Magic' promo videos and the 'Highlander' film, tour rehearsal footage (which is different to that released on the 'Live At Wembley Stadium' DVD's), concert footage from Ireland, Mannheim, Newcastle, Budapest, and Knebworth, and various TV reports from the time.

Before it's release, 'Hungarian Rhapsody' was shown in theatres and cinemas worldwide from 20 September 2012 onwards, with the 'A Magic Year' documentary as the opening feature. The concert itself was later broadcast (presumably in it's entirety) on BBC Four at 10:30pm on 29 December 2012.

Lyrics: (the CD version adds the dialogue in red)
It's a kind of magic
It's a kind of magic
A kind of magic

One dream, one soul, one prize, one goal
One golden glance of what should be
It's a kind of magic
One flash of light that shows the way
No mortal man can win this day
It's a kind of magic
The bell that rings inside your mind
Is challenging the doors of time

The waiting seems eternity, yeah
The day will dawn of sanity
Is this a kind of magic
It's a kind of magic
There can be only one
This rage that lasts a thousand years
Will soon be done

This flame that burns inside of me
I'm hearing secret harmonies
It's a kind of magic
The bell that rings inside your mind
Is challenging the doors of time
I told you

Everybody, hey
Hey

This rage that lasts a thousand years
Will soon be, will soon be, will soon be gone

This is a kind of magic
It's a kind of magic
There can be only one
This rage that lasts a thousand years
Will soon be done
Done

Hey
Hey
Everybody
Magic, magic, magic, magic

Hey, hey
Wooh

This rage that lasts a thousand years
Will soon be, will soon be, will soon be, will soon be
Will soon be done
Will soon be done
Yeah

Lyrics: (the CD version adds the dialogue in red)
Freddie: This is 'Under Pressure'

Um, bah, bah
Um, boom, bah, bay
Dum, dum, da-dah, doo-dah

Pressure pushing down on me
Pushing down on you, no man ask for
Under pressure
That burns a building down
Splits a family in two
Puts people on streets

Um, bah, bah, bay
Um, bah, bah, bay
Eh, day, dah
Eh, day, dah
That's OK

It's the terror of knowing
What this world is about
Watching some good friends screaming
Let me out
Pray tomorrow - gets me higher
Pressure on people - people on streets

Day, day, dah
Bay, bay, bay, be-bay
OK

Chipping around - kick my brains around the floor
These are the days, it never rains but it pours
Eh, doh, day-dep
Eh, ba, ba, bop
Eh, doh, doh
Day, dop

People on streets
Eh, dah, dee, dah, day
People on streets
Eh, dah, dee, dah, dee, dah, dee, dah

It's the terror of knowing
What this world is about
Watching some good friends screaming
Let me out
Pray tomorrow
Higher, higher, higher

Turned away from it all like a blind man
Sat on a fence but it don't work
Keep coming up in love but it's so slashed and torn
Why - why?
Ooohhh
Insanity laughs under pressure we're cracking

Can't we give ourselves one more chance
Why can't we give love that one more chance
Why can't we give love, give love, give love
Give love, give love, give love, give love, give love
Cause love's such an old fashioned word
And love dares you to
Care for the people on the
Edge of the night
And love dares you to
Change our way of
Caring about ourselves
This is our last dance
This is our last dance
This is ourselves

Under pressure
Under pressure
Pressure

This world has only one sweet moment set aside for us

Who wants to live forever
Who dares to love forever

Ohhh, oooh-ooh, when love must die

So touch my tears with your lips

Who wants to live forever
Forever is our today

Who waits forever anyway?

Chapter 15, or Disc 2 Track 1. Track length 4:37, song length 4:01.
The video releases feature an edited version of the track, lasting 2:41, which omits the section from 2:55 onwards.

Details of the original version can be found on the 'A Night At The Opera' album page.

Lyrics: (the CD version adds the lyrics in red)
Brian: How are you - alright? (speaks in Hungarian), OK? Cheers, and thank you for coming. I tell you, this is a night we're never gonna forget

Love of my life - you've hurt me
You've broken my heart and now you leave me
Love of my life, can't you see

Audience: Bring it back, bring it back
Audience: Don't take it away from me, because

You don't know what it means to me

Love of my life - don't leave me
You've stolen my love you now desert me
Love of my life, can't you see

Audience: Bring it back, bring it back
Don't take it away from me, because you don't know
What it means to me

You will remember
When this is blown over
And everything's all by the way
When I grow older
I will be there at your side to remind you
How I still love you

Audience: I still love
You
I still love you


Ohh, hurry back, hurry back
Don't take it away from me
Because you don't know what it means to me
Love of my life
Love of my life
Ooooh, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah


Freddie: Now comes the difficult bit

Tavaszi Szel Vizet Araszt


Chapter 16, or Disc 2 Track 2. Track length 2:16, song length 1:50.

Is This The World We Created?


Chapter 17, or Disc 2 Track 3. Track length 2:32, song length 2:25.
Details of the original version can be found on the 'The Works' album page.

Lyrics:
Freddie: I'm over the moon

Just look at all those hungry mouths we have to feed
Take a look at all the suffering we breed
So many lonely faces scattered all around
Searching for what they need

Is this the world we created, what did we do it for
Is this the world we invaded, against the law
So it seems in the end is this what we're all living for today
The world that we created

You know that everyday a helpless child is born
Who needs some loving care inside a happy home
Somewhere a wealthy man is sitting on his throne
Waiting for life to go by

Ooh, oh, oh, is this the world we created, we made it on our own
Is this the world we devastated, right to the bone
If there's a God up in the sky looking down
What must he think of what we've done
To the world that he created

Lyrics:
Mama, just killed a man
Put a gun against his head
Pulled my trigger now he's dead
Mama, life had just begun
But now I've gone and thrown it all away

Mama, oooh, ooh, ooh, ooh
Didn't mean to make you cry
If I'm not back again this time tomorrow
Carry on, carry on, as if nothing really matters

Too late, my time has come
Sends shivers down my spine
Body's aching all the time
Goodbye everybody, I've got to go
Gotta leave you all behind and face the truth

Mama, oooh, ooh, ooh, ooh
I don't want to die
I sometimes wish I'd never been born at all

I see a little silhouetto of a man
Scaramouche, Scaramouche will you do the fandango?
Thunderbolts and lightning - very, very frightening me
Gallileo, gallileo
Gallileo, gallileo
Gallileo, figaro - magnifico-o-o-o-oh
I'm just a poor boy, nobody loves me
He's just a poor boy from a poor family
Spare him his life from this monstrosity

Easy come, easy go, will you let me go
Bismillah! No - we will not let you go, let him go
Bismillah! We will not let you go, let him go
Bismillah! We will not let you go, let me go
Will not let you go, let me go
Never, never, never, never, never (never let you go)
Never let me go-o-o-o-oh
No, no, no, no, no, no, no
Oh, mama mia, mama mia
Mama mia let me go
Beelzebub has a devil put aside for me, for me, for me

So you think you can stone me and spit in my eye?
So you think you can love me and leave me to die?
Oh, baby, can't do this to me baby
Just gotta get out - just gotta get right outta here

Oooh yeah, oooh yeah

Nothing really matters
Anyone can see
Nothing really matters
Nothing really matters to me

Anyway the wind blows


Freddie: Hey, hey, hey, hey, hey

Hey

Here we stand, here we fall
History don't care at all
Make the bed, light the light
Lady Mercy won't be home tonight

You don't waste no time at all
Don't hear the bell but you answer the call
Comes to you as to us all
Then it's time for the hammer to fall

Every night, every day
A little piece of you is falling away
Lift your face, the western way, baby
Build your muscles till your body decays

Toe your line and play their game
Till the anaesthetic covers it all
Till one day they call your name
Then it's time for the hammer to fall

Rich or poor or famous for
Your truth it's all the same (oh no) oh no (oh no)
Lock your door 'cos rain is pouring
Through your window pane (oh no)
Baby now your trouble's all in vain, yeah, yeah

Hey
Slow

Let's see you go baby
I wanna see it

For he who grew up tall and proud
In the shadow of the mushroom cloud
Convinced our voices can't be heard
We just want to scream it louder and louder and louder

What the hell we fighting for?
Just surrender and it won't hurt at all
Just got time to say your prayers
Then it's time for the hammer, hammer to fall
Going to fall


Yeah, yeah

Yeah, yeah
Yeah
Waiting for the hammer to, hammer to, hammer to fall

Give it to me one more time

It cries (like a baby)
In a cradle all night
It swings (woo, woo)

Crazy little thing called love

There goes my baby
She knows how to rock 'n' roll
She drives me crazy
She gives me hot and cold fever
And she leaves me in a cool, cool sweat

Gotta be cool, relax, get hip
Get on my tracks
Take a back seat, hitch hike
Take a long ride in my motorbike
Until I'm ready
Crazy little thing called love


Gotta be cool, relax, get hip
And get on my tracks
Take a back seat, a hitch hike
And take a long ride on my motorbike
Until I'm ready (ready Freddie)
Crazy little thing called love

This thing called love I just can't handle it
This thing called love I must get round to it
I ain't ready

Lyrics:
I'd sit alone and watch your light
My only friends through teenage nights
And everything I had to know
I heard it on my radio
(Radio)

You gave them all those old time stars
Through wars of worlds invaded by Mars
You made 'em laugh, you made 'em cry
You made us feel like we could fly
(Radio)

So don't become some background noise
A backdrop for the girls and boys
Who just don't know and just don't care
And just complain when you're not there
You had your time, you had the power
You've yet to have your finest hour
Radio (radio)

All we hear is radio ga ga
Radio goo goo, radio ga ga
All we hear is radio ga ga
Radio blah blah
Radio what's new?
Radio, someone still loves you

We watch the shows, we watch the stars
On videos for hours and hours
We hardly need to use our ears
Our music changes through the years
(Radio)

Let's hope you never leave old friend
Like all good things on you we depend
So stick around 'cos we might miss you
When we grow tired of all this visual
You had your time, you had the power
You've yet to have your finest hour
Radio (radio)

All we hear is radio ga ga
Radio goo goo, radio ga ga
All we hear is radio ga ga
Radio goo goo, radio ga ga
All we hear is radio ga ga
Radio blah blah
Radio what's new?
Radio, someone still loves you

Radio ga ga
Radio ga ga
Radio ga ga
(Radio)

You've had your time, you've had the power
You've yet to have your finest hour
Radio (radio)
Everybody

All we hear is radio ga ga
Radio goo goo, radio ga ga
All we hear is radio ga ga
Radio blah blah
Radio what's new?
Radio, someone still loves you
Loves you

Lyrics:
Roger: Three, four

Another red letter day
So the pound has dropped and the children are creating
The other half ran away
Taking all the cash and leaving you with the lumber
Got a pain in the chest
Doctors on strike what you need is a rest

It's so easy now, 'cos you've got friends you can trust
Friends will be friends
When you're in need of love they give you care and attention
Friends will be friends
When you're through with life and all hope is lost
Hold out your hand, friends will be friends
Right till the end

It's a beautiful day
The postman delivered a letter from your lover
Only a phone call away
Tried to track him down but somebody stole his number
As a matter of fact
You're getting used to life without him in your way

It's so easy now, 'cos you got friends you can trust
Friends will be friends
When you're in need of love they give you care and attention
Friends will be friends
When you're through with life and all hope is lost
Hold out your hand, friends will be friends

Lyrics:
I've paid my dues
Time after time
I've done my sentence
But committed no crime
And bad mistakes
I've made a few
I've had my share of sand
Kicked in my face
But I've come through

We are the champions, my friends
And we'll keep on fighting till the end
We are the champions
We are the champions
No time for losers
'Cos we are the champions
Of the world

I've taken my bows
And my curtain calls
You've brought me fame and fortune
And everything that goes with it, I thank you all
But it's been no bed of roses
No pleasure cruise
I consider it a challenge before the whole human race
And I ain't gonna lose
(On) right you are (and on and on and on)

We are the champions, my friends
And we'll keep on fighting till the end
We are the champions
We are the champions
No time for losers
'Cos we are the champions
Of the world

We are the champions, my friends
And we'll keep on fighting till the end
We are the champions
We are the champions
No time for losers
'Cos we are the champions
Of the world
