Classic. Brilliant. Rocks.[/QUOTE]
Well, yeah. This opening raises the dead! I love it. It was the opening they used in South America too back in 1981! :-)))
I love "Let Me Entertain You". It's criminally underrated - both the studio version and the live performances by the band.
Great. Good one indeed. :-)

[QUOTE][QUOTENAME]pittrek wrote: [/QUOTENAME]I actually like the Hyde Park intro.
It started with the taped ADATR intro, then came into the opera section of BoRhap, for the hard rock / heavy metal / headbanger part the band came to stage and finished it in Ogre Battle.
Also another interesting opening was during 1977 - the taped WWRY backing, with Freddie singing and Brian playing guitar, the ADATR intro and WWRY fast.
Also Now I'm Here used to be a great concert intro[/QUOTE]
Good-old fashion fan. :op
I like it too. But I prefer WWRY-Let Me Enter-taaain youuuu, let me entertaaa-aaa-aaaain...COME ON! lol

My two cents...
Queen was always a strong live act, both musical & visually, but the Hot Space era was - even it's the band most experimental period - for my personal taste the most uninteresting.
Stayin' Power & Under Pressure are the only exceptions, these songs really work live, but the rest is sometimes unfocused and boring.
There's no real "flow" like on the other tours, as Thunderbold wrote in his great post!!
It's just my personal taste, but hey, I have problems with nearly everything they did after '81..(execpt Innuendo- what a masterpiece!!)
As for the Intros, my fav is the ADATR Tour.
The Album intro, then TYMD -bang! Take that! What a way to start the show :-)
Visually, the NOTW tour and of course, Jazz tour are among my favs. What must it felt like to be in the audience and watch the pizza oven rise while thunder & lightning strikes? Just listen to the beginning of the Oakland'78 show and you know what I mean...
And that brings me back to Hot Space. From '77 onwards Queen had impressive lightning rigs, even for today's standards. But the Hot Space lights...I don't know, compared to the previous rigs they're quite small and nothing special.
I saw so many bands on stage in my life, but I never saw someone who comes close to a Queen show, allthough I never saw them in real life :-(
So, I'm going back to my record player now and blast "Invite to a Night at the Warehouse" bootleg through my speakers- timemachine set - flux capacitor on..2008...02..1990..82..79..77! See ya there :-)

I think "Football Fight" could have been a great intro to the Hot Space tour, but I also like what they did with Flash. I'm really not a huge fan of "Tie Your Mother Down" or "We Will Rock You (fast)", so it's nice with a change.
...by the way, one of the finest moments they ever did live in my opinion was "The Millionaire Waltz" and the transition to "Get Down Make Love". It's so cool the things Freddie played on his piano! (I'm especially thinking of the Houston 1977 show).
