Really enjoyed (enjoying?) the whole QPR thing, but keep coming across interesting bits and pieces that I'd forgotten about coz they're not on a physical release yet. Here's what I've come up with, and please let me know what I'm missing -
Studio -
Runaway
Live -
Under Pressure
Red House
Little Bit Of Love
Take Love
The Stealer
Warboys
Time To Shine
We Believe
Voodoo
Las Palabras De Amor
Surf's Up, School's Out
Dragon Attack
thank you! Yes! Totally forgot about that.
Long Away ?
I read somewhere that QPR tried "Take Love" in the studio (a natural choice, given it was finished before TCR was started), but weren't satisfied with how it sounded, kind of like "Mad The Swine" off [i]Queen.
[/i]Of course, I also read a Paul interview where he said they didn't record it, so who knows. I have to believe they at least *tried* it in the studio.
Yeah, I thought about Long Away, but how much of the song was done? Do I remember Brian doing 1 verse on 2 nights on the 2005 European tour?
As for Take Love, yeah, I think Brian said they started it but didn't think it was working. Paul also said there were songs they left off the album, which I interpret as at least one more unknown track. I assume it wasn't a Brian one given he was unhappy with his ability to contribute - given he sang, played guitar and bass I can only assume he meant he wanted to write more than 3 tracks.

Yeah, you're right. Pesaro and Budapest. He later played it again in Yokohama, Nagoya and Fukuoka and there's where I thought it was a more complete version but ... nah, just a couple (but really appreciated!) verses.
A live version of "Take Love," from one of the North American dates, would have been a great B-side track for either "Say It's Not True" or "C-lebrity." It's sort of become the QPR equivalent of "Hangman," played live a lot, but never finished in the studio and given a proper release. Now both are sitting in a vault somewhere. At least I can say I heard "Take Love" live and in person.
And if anyone at Queen Productions is reading this, making "Take Love (Live from [insert venue here])" available at the Queen Online Download Store would be a very appreciated move. Not to mention, it would cost little to master and post, but the fans would definately snatch it up and QP would reap the financial benefits (wink, wink).
That gives us -

For all the complaints of the set list being too static, there was a hell of a lot of variety really.
Wasn't [i]A Little Bit Of Love[/i] on one of the USA Tour releases of the special Live CDs? There were three in all. They were physical releases.
And the hungarian song Brian played on the last tour?

The USA Tour special Live CDs of....what...exactly?
Return Of The Champions...?
There was no edition with bonus tracks.
The three CDs were given away when you bought the Gold and Platinum tickets on the USA tour.
I have uploaded them here to view.
They all featured the live tracks that were available via queenonline at the time.
Here's the gold cover CD
And the Platinum cover
So, if you bought Gold or Platinum tickets (on the North American Tour), they mailed you the CDs which contained the previously downloadable tracks from the European Tour?
