Actually I LOVED the Q+AL rendering of Dragon Attack. I loved the song before but I thought they had a freer rein on it this time around: Had more of the jam feeling (which is probably what it started out as).

The real issue with the Q+AL (and with most of the set) was that it was played too slow. It felt more intense when played as Q+PR which in turn felt far less intense than when it was played in the 80's.
It's a very good live track though and it's welcome in any set.

@j0ck3 I can see your point. Actually I liked the languid feel Q+AL's being slower gave it. But then I liked Staying Power being played at MK faster and furiouser than on the record. :-)

I don't think you will find many people who will deny that Staying Power is one of their best live songs despite being hopelessly mediocre on record.
The Milton Keynes version is probably one of the best live performances of a single song they've done as well which helps.

Always annoyed the mid8 mix live had the guitar to the for which was actually just playing the counterpoint to the coooooool brass melody on the keys. Apart from that, yes, it was a highlight when I first got the Magic Years back in 87.

i'm honestly trying to think what perverse world would put ANY hot space song as one of the "best live songs"
just don't see it, it was good, but nowhere near best

I would .
live, Staying Power was a very powerful song.
But then i am honest, and am not here to troll every point made for the sake of my ego.
