Huntington, WV (HNN) – A two-concert high definition digital treat roars into Marquee Cinemas for one night only. Queen and Deep Purple team for a rare bg screen treat on Monday, April 28 at 7:30 p.m.
 
When “Under Pressure” topped the charts in 1981, Queen arrived in Montreal to shoot what would be their only concert shot on film. From the “We Will Rock You” opening to memorable hits such as “We Are the Champions,” “Killer Queen,” “Geet Down Make Love,” and “Let Me Entertain You,” the digitally remastered footage captures the intensity of the band's performance.
 
Filmed at the closing night of the Montreux Festival, Deep Purple sprinkles songs from their latest album, “Rapture of the Deep,” classic songs,“Too Much Fun” , and the show stopping “Smoke on the Water.”
 
Marquee’s Pullman Square (Huntington) and Southridge (Charleston) cinemas will be the only two theatres screening the concert in this region. Other bookings are in Columbus, Ohio, and Louisville, Ky., as well as Raleigh, N.C., Nashville, Tenn., and Roanoke, Va.
 
On line tickets will be available at the http://marqueecinemas.com and the http://movietickets.com sites.
