Queen's worst tour - bad sound, freddies voice suffers terribly, he looks unhealthy, clothes were terrible (both freddie and brian). Even the venues suck.

Thank fuck they rectified it for the Magic Tour.
Great setlists, though. Arguably the best they ever had.

I actually think the Magic Tour was one of their weaker ones.

Couldn't agree more! VERY sloppy tour all around! Looked and played great a year later. They went out on top and in fine form!

Without a shadow of a doubt you are right!
One good thing about that tour tho was the lightin rig - what a cracker!
I was at a couple of Works shows and they were excellent -- VERY heavy. If anyone has heard Stone Cold Crazy live you will know what I mean. Shows were in Dublin, so I had to cross over to the dark side for a bit...

Saw them in Melbourne and was well pleased. Listening to the tape of the show 20 years later I was quite impressed. Freddie's voice in Killer Queen and Somebody to Love much lighter and crisper than Magic Tour. Seems as though Freddie yelled through much of 1986!

No recording unfortunately but I have some pics and the original negatives are probably knocking about somewhere. Done with a fairly basic camera but there's one or two interesting ones. Will scan them and put them on the net when I get a chance.

Think you mean the bright side! Maybe a dark side then, but look how the tides have turned!!

Excellent... looking forward to seeing them.

Nonetheless, I would love to have a pristine official 2xCD recording. They did it good for Montreal 81 & MK 82... And with this setlist, that would be a killer !!

What about Vienna or Wembley Arena ??

The unofficial Birmingham 9-2-84 recording is pretty top notch.

I disagree! Just listen for example to 1984 Brussel 24 August CONCERT. It is very energetic and great. Good voice and vocals from Freddie. Great new song It's a hard life...Freddie hit there all the high notes!!! Also Birmingham 1984...i'm going to listen to it wright now. And in 1985 Queen were very good live in BUdokan 05.09.1985!!! This is one of their MOST POWERFULL AND BEST CONCERTS!!! Freddies voice is fantastic.
How did Freddie look 'unhealthy' on The Works tour? Looked pretty healthy to me!
