  1. Queen [I] Recordings

    Yes, that was in Queensgate in Kensington. At the end of Smile (Summer, 1970) and beginning of their time at KM Fred and Roger were living in a flat in Shepherds Bush, then Roger went back to college and moved to Kew,...

  2. Book Review: Queen: An Official Biography

    Absolutely and just to add, ZR once described herself as a complete philistine and really only listened to BBC Radio 4...

  3. What do you guys think is the best Queen concert ever?

    Kampuchea, Hammersmith Odeon, Boxing Day 1979 I was at Leeds in '82 and at 2 stunning Wembley shows on the NOTW tour - all outstanding, but Kampuchea was even better and I was lucky to witness it.

  4. New Musical Express November 23 1974

    Well Rosie Horide goes without saying. I bought DISC every week for the latest updates :-) She was fantastic and the band owe her a lot really - she certainly championed them at a time when other journalists were accu...

  5. New Musical Express November 23 1974

    The NME is a UK music magazine (comic really compared to what it was) but was a far more serious music paper at that time - at this point in the '70s it was pre punk, when punk came in Burchill and Parsons made it far...

  6. Some stats about their concerts

    Sebastian wrote: This suggests it did take place: http://www.queenconcerts.com/detail/flyer/1973-12-07/queen-in-cheltenham-on-07-12-1973.html Maybe the 6th of December one is the one that never existed? Of course, the...

  7. Some stats about their concerts

    Sebastian, didn't know if this includes the Shaftesbury Hall, London gig from December 7th 1973 - this didn't happen as no London venue called this ever existed. I did a lot of research a few years ago - there was a S...

  8. Save me animation

    The animation for Save Me was done by Cucumber Studios. The track was not a favourite of the rest of the band according to them..... I interviewed them years ago for a dissertation.

  9. Visiting London in July from Canada..

    Visit the site of Queen Prods at 46 Pembridge Road, Notting Hill Gate, the band / crew / fan club offices (in the basement) for many years. Go over the road to the Sun in Splendour the local watering hole for crew and...

  10. Hyde park Sweet Lady 16mm film

    Wasn't the gig shot by the BBC/Whistle test production crew. Bob Harris introduced all the acts on the day - I always thought it was shot by the BBC....

  11. Fun autographed item

    I might be wrong here but I think I remember that this was the insert into the record sleeve of ADATR album in 1976...

  12. Queen first promo videos, Brewer Street Sudio 1973

    On Brewer Street itself, you can still see a faint triangular outline of where the TAP logo was higher up on the wall, when coming from both directions - and the hole where it was fixed to the wall! It was situated wh...

  13. Disc: 11 /30 / 74: Rainbow 74`Concert Review

    Had the pleasure of finally meeting Rosie at the Rainbow launch. Got the chance to thank her for what she did in championing the band but more because people like me and Jim (Jenkins, who was there too at that moment)...

  14. "Pop Today"

    Depends when it was published in '74. There were interviews from DISC in 1973 - I have one by Ray Fox Cumming from July 28th, called 'Queen's Speech' (interview with Roger). There was loads of stuff in the DISC almost...

  15. Sounds :March 9 /1974/ Go visit the Queen

    Hi BETA, No that was a short jacket, typical Ken Mkt stuff he used to wear...

  16. Story that sticks out in your mind

    Not one from the road but I find it fascinating that Fred early on served Bowie and fitted him for a pair of boots when he was manager of Alan Mair's boot shop in Ken Market... I didn't realise that Fred was the manag...

  17. Live interaction Between John and the other Queen members

    He had a triangle solo in Killer Queen on ANATO tour.... :-)

  18. To the fans that saw Queen on the Crazy Tour.

    I wish I still had the review of that Purley Tiffany's gig because it was fantastic and really made me wish I'd gone....especially the bit about it being so loud the walls were shaking and they nearly brought the ceil...

  19. For those that actually saw Queen live back in the day

    Yes I couldn't believe it either and what I don't understand now is why I didn't do both nights...doh!

  20. For those that actually saw Queen live back in the day

    I've written a few concerts up on queenconcerts.com - first one was 29th November 1975 which is quite detailed... Yeah, me too. Although on the early tours, even in March '74, if you read the reviews their equipment p...
