Did queen ever perform, Thank God its Christmas live?

Just curious......

Would be really cool if Queen Extravaganza did Thank God It's Christmas. But they dont have any upcoming dates to they...

As far as it's been documented, no. They didn't play any concerts between late October 1984 and January 1985, between July 1985 and June 1986 and from August 1986 onwards anyway, so it would've been absurd to perform a Xmas song in summer.

absolutely. but not unlikely.
i was at Castle Donington on August 22, 1981 when Slade performed "Merry Christmas Everybody" as the final song of their setlist :-)

At "Live Aid" 1985 in mid July "Band Aid" played a little ditty, I think it was called "Do They Know It's Christmas?" or something like that ;-)

At least Queen had some other hits (to play live) than the Christmas-song ; )

Wonder how they would have done it live?
Freddie at the piano with Brian playing small fills and chimes i imagine. Would've sounded better than the horrible 80's production that we have on the record.

THIS is a track that they should re-do for MIH2... a new backing track with Freddie's vocals would be great

This is all speculation, but I very much doubt they would've had Fred at the piano. The only 80's songs songs featuring Freddie on piano were PtG and IAHL, which had it as main instrument. Otherwise, he didn't play (e.g., Life Is Real, FWBF) or he only played on those which had been recorded in the 70's (Bo Rhap, Champions, StL).

My guess is Spike would've played synth and Fred would've sung it without playing any instrument.

Wham performed Last Christmas at their farewell concert at Wembley in June 1986.

the darkness..T IN THE PARK....xmas time....I have the video to prove it lol .

I saw "Roy Wood" at Birmingham NEC in the 80's mid summertime and he performed "I Wish It Could Be Christmas every Day" Twice in the same concert..

^ that's really pathetic. He may have thought that, since all of his songs sound the fucking same anyway, no-one would have noticed.

......see my baby jive.........
