1. One Vision [the 'God works in mysterious ways' tape is the extended album intro on Magic] - 5:14
2. First two lines of It's A Hard Life, with the piano going into the first two verses of Doing All Right - 1:40
3. Play the Game, but with the first 17 seconds of piano from Death on Two Legs to open it - 3:36
4. Princes of the Universe - 3:30
5. Party & Khashoggi's Ship medley [no onstage drum programming for Party] - 5:15
6. Under Pressure, with John doing intro bass for 26 sec. instead of usual 13 sec., before Brian comes in) - 4:13
7. Breakthru - 4:04
8. Killer Queen [extended solo from Brian] - 3:16
9. Keep Yourself Alive - 3:51
10. The Invisible Man - 4:07
11. I Want To Break Free - 4:25
12. Brighton Rock [incoorperating bits of Let Me In (Your Heart Again), SWAFIB and Ogre Battle] - 6:53
13. Friends Will Be Friends - 4:14
14. Now I'm Here & Tie Your Mother Down medley - 6:36
15. Somebody to Love - 5:17
16. Seven Seas of Rhye, but the 'seaside' bit is replaced by the last verse of The Miracle - 2:54
17. Love of My Life - 3:36
18. Bohemian Rhapsody - 5:30
19. Crazy Little Thing Called Love [with Polar Bear guitar intro] - 2:59

25. God Save the Queen [Originial ANATO track on Tape] - 1:20

While the list might seem haphazardous at times, it's a good brainwave, so I hope its appreciated

I noticed you added the lengths of all the songs. Do you have asperger's?

All lame ass jokes aside, it's not the first time people have asked this, but I don't see any sense into letting my mind slip away and imagine a tour that hasn't happened and couldn't have happened, for the simple reason that Freddie would have dropped dead halfway through on the first night. It's just not my thing.

LOL.... yeah, i hadn't considered it upon the initial reading (skim through while looking for something interesting)... but damn right!... that's something extremely exact and unusual. What surprises me is that Crazy Little Thing would be performed at only 2:59 and that's WITH the Polar Bear (highly unlikely) intro.

....i'd imagine it clocking in at somewhere along the lines of 7:58 (giving account for the time Fred would have to pick up his tele....and the ensuing jam that CLTCL becomes)

Aspergers lol.... Assburgers more like it. Anal Retention breeds assburgers.

(i dont know exactly what that means but it sounded like the right thing to say at the moment)

Setlist

1) Party (obviously)
2) Khashoggi's Ship (bit)/Hammer to Fall
3) I want It All
4) Tear It Up
5) Break, Intro Retro medley Seven Seas Of Rhye/Killer Queen/Crazy Little Thing Called Love
6) I want To Break Free

 (Break)

10) Now I'm Here/Dragon Attack/Another One Bites the Dust/ Reprise/Solo
11) 39'
12) Love Of My Life
13) Somebody To Love
14) Breakthru
15) Keep Yourself Alive
16) Chinese Torture
17) Who Wants To Live Forever
18) The Miracle
(break)
18) Radio Ga Ga
19) Friends Will Be Friends
20) Was It All Worth It
21) Bohemian Rhapsody
22) We Will Rock You
23) Jailhouse Rock or Stone Cold Crazy
24) We Are the Champions

(rushed list... they'd probably have more old school songs in there like FBG)

I am 99% sure that Princess Of The Universe wouldn't be played live - Freddie just wouldn't have been able to handle it. It's more demanding than it sounds, really.

Of course Princess Of The Universe would not be played live - there is no such song.  Freddie only wrote Princes Of The Universe :-)

LOL... right oh.

I always loved the intensity of that song, just didn't like how "off" the "born to be kings, princes of the universe, fighting and free eee... got your world in my hand, i'm here for your love and i'll make my stand" part...

sounded kinda rushed or forced...

like they couldn't figure out something better...

sounded like "Survivor" or something...

I'm just saying...

the rest of the song tears donkeys to pieces.

On that note, Princess of the Universe wouldn't have been played.... not even 99% probability... more like 100% cause that song does not exist.

Other examples of songs by known artists that do not exist:

Van Halen - Animal (Panama)
Chi Lites - Abesina (Have You Seen Her)
Clash - Rock the Dance Floor/Youre really gonna like it, Block The Taskbar, Rock the Cash Bar, Block the Asphalt (casbah)
Aerosmith - Do It Like a Lady
Adele - Chasing Penguins

If PotU wasn't played on the Magic tour and it wasn't really a big hit at the time, it's unlikely to have been used on any prospective 'Miracle tour.

By the way can we have a discussion on the name as I think it may well have broken the tradition and been called the 'Breakthru' tour. Just sounds better, to me anyway.

Preposterous.



Let's ask Brian.

Performing 'One Vision' again at the intro would be far too much like the Magic tour. I doubt it would have been the introduction track in '89.

A little known fact is that shows were planned to support The Miracle album. The band were looking at playing multiple nights at a select handful of European cities, including London. The show was going to be billed as A Night at The Miracle pavilion. Stage and lighting designs were drawn up and some dates were booked, though not officially announced.

It is believed that during this time Freddie decided that he either didn't want to or couldn't commit to any live shows so the plan was scrapped.

Second time I've read that here. What's your source? Interview? Magazine? Film? Biography?

Interview with RT in the Daily Mirror just after the album's release. He goes into some detail of what the show would be and calls it A Night At The Miracle Pavilion and also says that they are looking at venues. Although the main part of the interview wasn't about the shows, the headline was Queen in million pound world tour! Even though in the interview nothing was said about shows outside Europe and RT never called it a tour!

My other source is from within the industry, who confirmed that stage plans were drawn up and a lighting rig was almost at the stage of being put together. And some European venues were provisionally booked.
