  In November 1980, Queen was riding high on the success of their album "The Game," which was released earlier that year and featured iconic tracks like "Another One Bites the Dust" and "Crazy Little Thing Called Love." The live recording of "Under Pressure," featuring David Bowie, showcases a pivotal collaboration that would culminate in the single's release in early 1981. This performance was part of their concert in Montreal, which highlights the band's prowess in live settings and their ability to blend rock with other genres, a hallmark of their evolving sound. Notably, the song "Under Pressure" would later appear on their 1982 album "Hot Space," illustrating Queen's adventurous spirit in pushing musical boundaries. The Montreal concert is also notable for being filmed, capturing the raw energy and showmanship of Freddie Mercury and the band during a transformative period in their career.
