Compilation of Tours

I have compiled a file of songs which are considered the best version of the songs performed by the band.

The songs are mainly those suggested by The Real Wizard in this thread:

In addition to the above, the selection also includes the following:

a) songs which had been highlighted in the reviews in [url=http://www.queenlive.ca]www.queenlive.ca[/url] for the above mentioned concerts and those suggested in the various threads on the best live gigs,

b) songs which have been regarded by various qz members as the best versions of the songs,

c) songs which I think are good.

The songs are taken from the bootlegs downloaded from here. Thanks to all those who have shared their collection for us to enjoy.

I hope you find this enjoyable. If you have other suggestions, please let me know, and if there is sufficient interest, a new list could be compiled and shared.

Thanks for your effort. This is great! :-)

thank you very much

Sorry, only Hangman from Liverpool '73 was included.

I relied a lot on Bob's review for any good performance of a song in a concert. This track was not particularly highlighted in his review of the Tokyo 75-05-01 concert in www.queenlive.ca and therefore it was missed.

I will bear this in mind for any future compilation.

thanks a lot :)

I gues the tokyo 75 version of hangman was excluded because at the time of the threat this wasn't released? Well not sure I. Have the young nobles cd for more than 3 years I gues.


Would be nice to keep this updated !

Would be nice if we have 2 of these 1 the best sounding 2 the best performance of each song regardless it's quality!

We need more people to give us their suggestions for best songs. I can also plough through all the pages in Bob's website to pick up more best songs in the rest of the tours.

I made a similar kind of compilation for Depeche Mode live tracks the last month and I thought about doing the same with Queen - but nope... I think it's impossible to catch all great songs of Queen in one compilation!

many tks for this share !

already downloaded and enyoying it very much :)

Opera Omnia in a good way.
Thanks for doing this. Was thinking about it too. Saves me a lot of time.

Again, thanks.
