1980.09.28 New York - merge

Queen
New York, NY, USA
Madison Square Garden
September 28, 1980


This is a merge of two copies of the audience tape. The common copy that has circulated is the better quality of the two, but part of Now I'm Here and all of Dragon Attack were edited out for some reason, even leading many to believe Dragon Attack wasn't even performed. A few years back an inferior copy (labeled as a first gen, so perhaps mislabeled or transferred poorly) emerged, so this merge completes the show in the best possible quality. I've also removed the cut and repeat between Love Of My Life and Keep Yourself Alive.

The bulk of this recording is the best of the three nights at the Garden. It's a bit distorted, but well worth the listen as Mercury and the band are on fire, and at the peak of their success on this side of the Atlantic.
