Dreamer's ball - live

I think it's great that they for once didn't release just the hits.

As somebody else mentioned, they really should release a live album from 1976 (or 1977), with the songs from the first 5 albums.

[b]
The songs I miss the most to have on an official live record and DVD are:[/b]

1. Doing All Right
2. The Millionaire Waltz
3. You Take My Breath Away
4. Teo Torriatte (yes, we allready got the DVD version)
5. My Melancoly Blues
6. It's Late
7. The Prophet's Song
8. Great King Rat
9. It's a Hard Life (only on Rock in Rio VHS and fake DVD)
10. Cool Cat

That's the first songs I remember that I really miss.


[b]Are these songs ever played live?:[/b] (I don't think so by the way)

-My Fairy King
-She Makes Me
-Misfire
-Pain is so close to pleasure
-You and I
-Jealusy
-In only seven days
-Machines (or back to humans)
-Keep Passing the open windows

[QUOTE][b]Are these songs ever played live?:[/b]  -Machines (or back to humans)[/QUOTE] Only this one was, somewhat, if you count the solo spots in 1984. Have a look at the 'Songs Played Live' section on my website, www.queenlive.ca, to see details on this subject.  There may be a few surprises for you in there.

Now I hope it works, let's see. :))

Check out Sapporo 6/5/1979. Wonderful performance of the song. The way Freddie sings several lines is just...impressive! Even with his voice not in pristine shape he manages to give a lovely performance. LOML sounds incredible too.

Oh. Thanks so much. That was lovely. I’ll check it out. Ah, the nights his voiced was suffering a bit are among my favorites - he used to circumvent it with so much creativity and phrased or modulated the songs in such a way as to make them sound fresh over and over again. It’s a delight to listen to. Some aspects of his singing are still so underrated or ignored, I guess.  And he had a delicious sense of humor, which does come out in such songs as Dreamer’s Ball.

My next stop is Sapporo. I’m curious to listen to it now.

Thanks a lot again.

Take care.
