Neal Preston captured a vanishing moment in rock history, immortalized in this behind-the-lens view of one of the greatest live performances in Rock and Roll history. This exclusive edition features a proof strip style fine art print created from Preston’s personal archives, documenting the seconds surrounding his most iconic shot of Freddie Mercury during Queen’s legendary 1986 performance at Wembley Stadium. While the world knows the "final" shot, this print reveals the human movement and artistic instinct required to capture it through four sequential frames of Freddie commanding the massive London crowd. One frame, the iconic image, is outlined in red grease pencil, just as it appeared on the legendary photographer’s original contact sheet. The piece maintains authenticity in every detail, offering the raw truth of the moment in the original frames before and after the famous pose for a truly dramatic perspective on Mercury’s unparalleled stage presence. This magical performance was sadly one of the band’s last, Freddie Mercury would play his final concert with Queen less than a month later, on August 9th 1986.
Each piece is printed on Acid-Free and Archival Cold Press Bright paper, with a matte finish, limited to just 200 copies, hand signed and numbered by the photographer himself, expertly framed, and is available exclusively from Gold and Silver Pawn.
