Hi, I need some help with the term "back half" in the following context:
Like so many Queen tracks, “Under Pressure” begins light and almost casually but builds to a crescendo, the hard rock of Brian May and his Red Special arriving stealth-like as things get more and more anthemic. The beauty of this consortium is that Freddie Mercury now has David Bowie to support him over the increased volume, making for one of the great ******back halves****** in rock history.
Thanks!

Je pense que la définition de David Henrion est la bonne.
L'association de deux personnes est souvent évoquée en français par « tandem ».

Dans ce cas-ci, c’est l’accompagnement vocal (et/ou musical) de David Bowie qui s’intègre et se fond à une pièce musicale de Freddie Mercury qui en fait une des plus grandes pièces musicales de l’histoire du rock.
