.. except for Roger shouting ROCK N ROLL!!! at the start. And the most ridiculous ALL RIGHT!! from Freddie.
Can't say I ever liked SHA live, absolutely loving the studio version.

Vocal harmony
Live Killers captures the raw energy that the band produced which was often lost, to some degree, on studio recordings. At the time I remember friends who hadn't seen them commenting on how tight and powerful the album sounded.
Yes it didn't seem to gain much favour with the band, but the perceived rough edges, to me add to the expereance. Listening to it today in the car I could almost feel the heat coming off Brian's AC30's valves!

It just rocks. It's also ridiculous. It kept me company for a long time when I was little. The fast WWRY still blows people's minds whole aren't sold on Queen.

... When On Air came out, I saw FB friends whole I would consider being very musical but not Queen fans sharing the video and other pals going MIND BLOWN. Stupid proggers.

For me, it's the best live version of the song. I knew heavy metalers at school who laughed at me when I said I liked Queen but who nevertheless loved the Livekillers version of WWRY.
In fact, despite all the bootlegs, I prefer the livekillers versions of the following songs to any other live version: Death on Two Legs, You're My Best Friend, Now I'm Here, Dreamer's Ball, Love of My Life, 39, Keep Yourself Alive, Don't Stop Me Now, Spread Your Wings & Brighton Rock. (maybe it's the overdubs!)
If they re-released it and added It's Late, If You Can't Beat Them and Somebody to Love it would be a perfect live album.

Personally, I'm looking forward to QUEEN: THE PIZZA.
with cookie cutter types for each of the 4 characters on the live killers photo and a grill above for simulated lighting rig.
the best thing they've ever done!

Brian: It was Freddie's favourite pizza.
Roger: Why don't you take another little pizza my heart? And can I have a big slice please?
John: I want a big slice too - of the profits.

the only pizza guaranteed to blow your mind.
Freddie would've wanted it that way

Well, I must say that I look forward to the 3D book. The book is very interesting since it's from Brian's hand. And those 3D pictures... [/QUOTE]
Exactly my thoughts.
I love looking at stereoscopic pictures even on Google, or watch short stereoscopic videos on Youtube. You don't need any device. Only your eyes.
I'm not entirely happy because PR and AL pictures are included. I would expect this book to be only Queen, but Brian said it's only few pages so I can live with that.

The book, I'd imagine is as close as we are ever going to get to an autobiography from Brian.
Having got, and enjoyed, the in depth Red Special book I'm looking forward to looking at and reading Brian's view of the band. if the photos ended with the tribute concert, or before it, it would feel a little unfinished as we are all aware that Brian continued taking photos. Including the PR tours and the current line up brings the book up to date as it is a photographic documentary of his involvement as a member of the band.

2018 is the 20th anniversary of the recorded (visuals and music) but never released Brian May concert at the Royal Albert Hall. I had tickets for seats close to the front but was then told the seats had been removed because the show was being filmed and the band wanted a standing audience because it was more visually appealing. So I had to stand like all the other dupes! Good show though. Maybe it will finally see the light of day.
Interesting how not 1 single second of this has come to light?! I was there that night too. I do remember thinking it wasn't a great performance that night. Apparently Brian felt the same!!! Hence no release.
Might be nice to include maybe 5 or 6 songs as bonuses on the Brixton Blu-ray. If it ever happens that is!!
