Chicago Set List

Chicago Set List
I'm sorry, but I dont buy this theory about Rufus. It is an indication of Rogers bad fitness-level that he had to bring a percussionist to tour. A percussionist for Mr Taylor? The man has been like THE force behind Qu...

Would Freddie have been fit enough to tour in 1989 ?
Freddie atleast looked quite well and ok through the whole 1987-88 period. And he was actually, since he was doing Barcelona and Miracle albums then, where he is on wonderful voice, maybe the best in his career. He ha...

Chicago Set List
Quite an interesting setlist and all in all very positive feeling about this. The only thing that is really starting to show is Roger Taylors age and unfit status. My god...when he is playing the drums it is like a sh...

Queen Songs Roger couldn't pull off anymore
Roger hardly played drums reguralry since Magic Tour 1986. Of course he did the albums, but I think the actual playing he did during Miracle session (1988) was nothing much and same goes for Innuendo. You could clearl...

Did Queen lose the States, because they 'lost' Freddie?
This debate has taken a lot of turns, but I'd like to make one more. I have been thinking a lot of HotSpace/Works -era Queen. To me it seems, like someone already said a few sites back, Queen were declining as an enti...

inflatable bandmates from the magic tour
Was it in Manchester or in Newcastle where Freddie entered the stage from a "trap-door" beneath the stage with a puff of smoke? I'm not sure if he did have these different entrances during that tour. One which was pla...

'Made in Heaven' timeline
Brian Vocal can also mean demo vocal? Maybe he did the whole song and demo sang on it? Then Freddie stared to do it and couldn't finish it. It doesn't make sense that Brian would have sang the final version of the fin...

time signature, I need advice (musicians like Greg etc.)
Ok. The part where there is only ride cymbal playing and stick/rim-clap that might be a drum machine/programmed drums. On the parts there are hi-hat and a snare, it's definitely real drums. One more example, why a "Qu...

Roger's input during the 1991 sessions
I read from Sound On Sound interview with David Richards (1989) that the programming was mainly done on the songs where there was a synth bass line or lots of computer programmed keyboards. It was impossible to sync l...

Roger's input during the 1991 sessions
I have always been interested about the studio times between Miracle-Made In Heaven material. Miracle was done during one year period January 1988-Janyary 1989. During which time Roger was on the road with Cross and a...

Ciomment from David Richards FB page for discussion
David should really deserve a bigger recognition in this. I always find that his work on Miracle -album alone, would put him up there with the greatest. The whole album was done on a analog tape, yet he programmed all...

New German Queen Documentary " We are the Champions! - 40 Jahre Queen"
With my limited german, I kind of thought that Mack was referring to Johns persona. It seems that he has a habit of being depressive and to have these kinds times. But it could also be, that he mentioned that after 30...
