I have seen this video http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WXFdKYAoE8k and I never heard before this unique version of "on my way up" so I was just wondering if anybody has a better version...
thank you Luca

Hi Luca
That link is not for on my way up?
· Member since
yes, is the studio version of on my way up, but it was sung and played live by brian with vocal melodies and guitar parts different than the album version
· Member since
I'm still confused.
That link is for too much love will kill you!
I do have a PAL VOB file for that one if you want it.
· Member since
You're right, I'm wrong!

I think I may have a vob file for that one.
Not sure of the quality, but I'll check tomorrow.

do you agree this is an unique version? instead miming as usual in tv appearances, brian sings (and plays the red special) live for this occasion!!

I'm not really sure.
Besides France, I have another three TV appearances of this song.
On Spanish TV he has the red special, in Italy and Monaco he doesn't.
The vob file I have of the French TV appearance is unfortunately not very good quality (See below)
They are all the same versions as shared here: http://www.queenzone.com/forums/1331937/announce-brian-may-live-solo-tv-performances.aspx

I'm trying to find out the exact date...
· Member since
That was fast work man, well done.
The date was 14th June 1998.
· Member since
Are you sure?
The uploader thinks it was the may 30th...

30.05.1998 France (Le Monde Est A Vous, TV2)
14.06.1998 France ("Dimanche Martin", Channel France 2)

in both occasion Brian played On My Way Up...

This is how I came by the date, it's a little bit complicated!

Check the comments for this clip, somebody mentions "Dimanche Martin"

"Live performance of On My Way Up by Brian May and band on French TV in 1998.
Only Brian's vocals are live, the rest is a backing track (due to the television show's preferences)"

This thread states the show show changed from being called "Dimanche Martin" to "Sous vos applaudissements"

The stage set for "Sous vos applaudissements" matches the one in Brian's appearance.

Which makes it 14th June 1998............Perhaps! : )
