Rainbow 74 (March show)

I've just stumbled on this piece of information
[QUOTE]This concert was recorded by BBC, and part of it (8 tracks) broadcasted 'In concert' program.
Bootleg: First Queen bootleg out in February 1975. Title, "Sheetkeckeers" 1LP (TAKRL 1957). Later released on many LP & CD's.[/QUOTE] Taken from queenonstage.com

I have never heard that this show was also broadcasted on BBC. Is it true ? And does anybody have some more information about this ?

Hi no it was planned to be broadcasted , the show was cut down by one of the sheffield guys. Don;t know the reason why t was never broadcasted , I believe they weren;t satisfied woth the sound quality or something like that, but I don;t know if I remember that correctly.

Though it is a great show, it;s a shame they cut GKR out....

Oh great... another piece of folklore.

We don't even know what the UK Queen II setlist was, because there is no known complete recording of a show.

The great king rat story comes from GB his live book (1st edition). Don;t know if the raw recodring surrvived somehow...

Besides that GKR was also played at the waterburry show ....

And we should all know by now that Greg's first book (and his second book, in many places) is not a reliable source for setlists.

Of course. We know that because there's a recording. But that doesn't necessarily mean it was played on an earlier tour.

Didn't Greg write in his first book that Queen played Keep Yourself Alive in Golders Green Hippodrome 73 ?
