You try to come off as intelligent, but you don't have 1/100th of Sebastian's intelligence. Your inherent negativity towards the world doesn't help, either.

BTT, I've added a more detailed info on Let Me Live: http://sebastian.queenconcerts.com/f-lmlive.htm
Slowly, I'll be adding more and more songs in such depth. Next one is 'Days of Our Lives'.

in some way you want positives from me? positives toward the world okay let me - i have one. i am glad that the world is made so large that it puts a healthy gap between you and me. i just wanted of see how someone like sebsation would make to a very bold omition of songs from a discography when he says its nothing to do of personal taste but really came down to 100% personal taste. the penis eater was a joke and its only him who made repeat of it so many times that i dribbled soda over it... i wish he hadnt taken it to heart but in some way penis-eater is not a name he likes and i would apologize if he cared enough to read it, but it is my loss.

Sebastian, great site (as it has always been), very informative, keeps getting even better every time. Always a very interesting read, and although I don't agree on some stuff concerning personal taste (e.g. GDML), I totally see it as that: personal taste.
And it is also very refreshing to read something not stepford, as in fact not everytime they touched an instrument, god himself led their fingers... sometimes, maybe... :-) So thanks for sharing your immense work with us!
Now to my question: dunno if it's been discussed before (was a bit tired to read through all the usual QZ-discussions) but what about interpretations of live-renditions of the songs, with remarks about different instrumentation and changes in arrangement? Good example would be AKOM, I think? Just as a comparison, (of course the site is subtitled"Studio Info") to see how they managed to transfer the sometimes complicted and multilayered studio-arrangements to the stage.

Yes that's a very good idea and one I want (and ought) to put into practice soon. I'm particularly interested in settings: songs where John used plectrum or fingers or both (and the studio counterparts), songs where Roger added e-drums (or the other way around, songs recorded with e-drums or machines but done with acoustic kit on stage), Brian's guitar settings, specific synths and presets used by the auxiliary keyboard players, etc.
I'd also like to have the song structure for alternative versions (live, demo, extended), and all of that will be slowly added.
As for live things, some days ago there was a fantastic post (sorry to forget the author's name) about 'Father to Son'. On a much lower level of analysis, I'd like to have that as well.

About Brighton Rock:
You wrote : The legendary solo was first used in November 1973 as part of Son and Daughter.
This is a mistake. We know for sure that in concert it was already used in September 13. In studio it was used earlier. If we don't consider Blag(which was recorded in 1969, and has the germs of that solo), then we can say that it was used for the first time on July 25 for the BBC sessions.

Thanks, I'll correct that.

Another little thing that's debatable is the date of the picture with John with the Rickenbacker bass, from the debut album section. This picture is definitely not from 71-72 , but most likely from the Now I'm here Top of the pops appearance. Here is the link with other pictures from that show.: http://qliverecordings.tripod.com/unknow.html . There we can see the drum kit of the band Hello. They released a single called Games Up in February 75. Now I'm here had it's first chart appearace in late January. So it's the most logical conclusion is that the picture is from Now I'm here TOTP.

I noticed a typo on the Drums section of Let Me Live
"Amazing work on typical piano-ballad accompaniment, which is almost the same for the first to cycles"
I guess you mean 'two cycles'?
Sebastian · Member since
Indeed. Thanks. This weekend both the Ricken and the 'to' will be corrected.

Not a real mistake, but I thought it could be worth mentioning, that Roger is still hitting 880Hz soprano A 1981. He does so on Flash Theme choir (Flash! A-AA)
Keep going with the amazing work you are doing!!! Great!
Sebastian · Member since
Isn't that 1980?

about the Ricken pic, there is a debate in a separate topic. Some says it's from 74 Killer Queen.
