Paris Theatre 10-20-73

I'm doing some research on the Golders Green 9-13-73 show, now officially released on "On Air".

I'm looking for a bootleg tape labelled as 10-20-73 Paris Theatre in London, which for ages has been known as a fake of the 9-13-73 show - but I've also learned that is the date of the first BBC broadcast of the Golders Green show, which means a tape labelled as such may be of the original BBC broadcast.

After ignoring this date on people's lists for ages, it might actually be kind of valuable, even to just have a track listing.

Does anyone have this in their collection on either cassette or CDR? It'd be nice to know whether or not they aired the whole show.

Thanks !

This cue sheet from a 2001 broadcast is almost certainly the same as a WMMS Cleveland broadcast in 1975, as it, too, was advertised as a split Randy Newman / Queen programme.

I wasn't able to find much info on the Randy Newman portion, but apparently it was recorded in 1975, which could likely mean the 1973 broadcast of the Queen material had different content.

...and the erroneous mention of the material having been recorded at the Paris Theatre not only indicates how bootleg tapes with this label first started to circulate, but the lack of quality control also suggests that the band probably didn't know the broadcast was even happening.

Mine has the first 4 songs only and SWAFIB cuts off near the end! Strange.
Terrible sound too.
On a positie note, I've found another, cleaner full version of the opening intro to Ogre Battle (BBC Session!)....

So what, will we compile our own BBC compilation ? :)

Cool ! Bring it on.

Can't help I'm afraid, my copy has the Paris Theatre gig on it.

Eh?

Queen never played the Paris Theatre.

See above re: explanation for why it has that label.

So if you have something labelled as such, it's precisely what I'm looking for !

Eh? They played three gigs in London in preparation for the Mott tour, the first being at the Paris Theatre on October 20th, followed by two dates at Imperial college on October 26th and November 2nd.

LOL.
That's SO 'straight', I'm not sure if you're being flippant or otherwise! ;-)

Is this another conspiracy thread, or has Bob lost the plot again?

Oh jesus, you're right. I always thought it was a fake date because the recording was a fake. You learn something every day.

But my original point still stands - the tape is almost certainly from Golders Green. It's just a matter of which version it is.

Queen were in London on that date and not Paris.

Eh? The Paris Theatre was at 12 Lower Regent Street, London. It was a converted Cinema, often used by the BBC for radio broadcasts.

I KNOW!

Just helping with the general sense of fail in the thread :)
