Innuendo BTT experience

Really nice, thanks. David had told me ca fifteen years ago or so that he'd been the one who'd programmed the orchestra for that 3/4 bit.

Thank you for your additional info! Do you remember any more specific or approximate dates? Was there any discussion about the remaining songs? I'm especially interested in Bijou, Don't Try So Hard and All God's People.

thanks a lot for the info Ivan. This is is the stuff that makes a thread like this really interesting !

HI Chopin1985,
No additional info was given. I actually asked Justin about first or last song to be recorded for this album and he said he didn't know/remember.

For all your Queen questions, Sebastian know everything (at least he thinks)[/QUOTE]

Who the hell are you, and what research have you done on Queen?

Sounds like jealousy to me.

Grow up.

Wonderful to read the stories in this thread about the creative process in 1989-90.

And equally tragic that this audio won't be released on a box set or something. If they're willing to play it to a select group of people, why not release it? There is no logical reason.

No logical reason? It helped raise money for a good cause. I'd say that's a pretty good reason.

So Brian agreed on that on condition that nothing would be recorded, like he is afraid that people will hear non-perfected/work in progress Queen material.

Opinions about this material from people who were there?
- 'it was just amazing'
- 'The jaws of the room dropped including Justin and Noël when
this was played.'
- 'Astonishing'
- 'What musicians they were / are'
- 'Very very impressing stuff.'
- 'All in all a fantastic evening and I really hope that the demos we
heard get to be heard by others some day.'
- 'This was definitely one of the most interesting things Queen-
related in the last few years.'
- 'Amazing. Undescribable.'
- 'it would be great to listen to some music! What do YOU think?
Now, this is where my jaw started to drop…'
- 'My God… hasn’t this been an amazing day?!?!'

The best I can imagine is to release all of this and soundboard live recordings on the internet in digital form. This won't happen in the near future but when Q+AL will end it seems more possible.

Do you know what would help raise more money? Releasing them! Just wait until some sort of anniversary or yet another partial release from Queen Productions. They're hellbent on milking and re-releasing Queen's legacy and this will be no different.

When I realize, as a Jimi Hendrix fan, that they've yet to exhaust his archives and he died almost 50 years ago... In 2013, Eddie Kramer (the original engineer and main force behind new material released up to this day) mentioned that there were no more studio recordings left in the barrel, and they've already scraped two more albums since then. He's also implying on interviews that there's more studio releases to come.

Now, consider that what's coming out from Hendrix is mostly outtakes of already known tracks, and there's so much unheard and unknown from Queen...

I've enjoyed this thread, so I'll apologise in advance for side-tracking with GoldenS... GS, tbh, while I love to hear new/unheard stuff, I don't hold anything against the band for not releasing anything in bulk. But, there have been some nice official releases over the last few years, so, I see no reason to complain. In saying that, It's their music and if it annoys someone like you when you don't get what you want - good. Personally, when fans start demanding Queen release demos and out-takes, we're in a different place. I'll be more blunt... Sadly, some fans want want want and forget one simple fact, the band don't have to give you or I anything unreleased. Be thankful for what you get.

We all enjoy the music and enjoy reading and/or talking about the band, but, when it strays into selfish tendencies, for me, that's a big turn off. I want to hear those Innuendo sessions, but, I'm content knowing that maybe I won't get to hear them. This thread is filled with great posts by people who were there and it's fantastic to see how excited and delighted they were with the event. Thank you to those people who took the time to post their experiences! We are grateful for the info :)

Granted, they don't *owe* us anything and I've always known that, but there are so many long-time fans who have been waiting for so many years, and there's a real chance we won't be alive by the time someone decides to release what we actually want...

I really don't want to argue with anyone over that though, it's pretty pointless. I've been out of the loop for new Queen material for the last few years and in many ways I've moved on. However, the latest releases just make that itch harder to scratch. And then there are events like this one, which leaves us salivating for the smallest morsel they could possibly release.

It hasn't got to be 'those people are greedy bastards because they don't release what I want' - it can be 'oh, it'd be really nice if they did.'

Sure, they don't owe anyone anything and they're not bad people for keeping what they want to themselves, but still, it'd be really nice if they ever considered releasing those things.

Maybe they won't, but we thought the same about so much material earlier on. So no, it's not a guarantee that the same will happen with these 'Innuendo' things, but still, it'd be nice if some day, one day, they thought about releasing that.

Meanwhile, I'm obviously grateful to all those people sharing what they witnessed, and that'll be more than enough for now, but still, it'd be lovely if at some point in the future they decide to release all, most or some of those outtakes. It's not a demand, it's not a whine, it's not a threat. It's just a healthy, naive and hard (but not impossible) wish.

Well put, Seb :)

Great info.

However, I’ll add nearly irrelevant information. That album... Another Miracle. Alternative Miracle. It had Miracle in the title, but I’m not sure those were the correct titles.

Does anyone have copies of the old US version of the Queen fan club magazine in 1990? Someone from Queen Productions or whoever had forwarded the titles and descriptions of upcoming 1990 Christmas releases. It was written as if that album with Miracle b-sides and extended versions was a sure go, and the other listed product listed as upcoming ‘Live At Wembley ‘86’ which did happen. If I recall, it wasn’t a play on the titles for the album with The Miracle b-sides, they had released an action title.

If anyone has those old US Queen fan club magazines, that’d be great. I forget the name of the magazine.
