Innuendo BTT experience

I find this extremely interesting. That suggests that the assumption that Roger was the original author of Innuendo would stand up to scrutiny.

It's been long known that Freddie started off the lyrics as he was singing along to the jam, and then Roger wrote the rest of them.

So, Roger was the principal lyricist of the song, but not by any means its composer. Musically, that piece is way out of his league.

PS: It'd also been long known that a demo of 'Innuendo' sung by Roger existed in the archives. What's new (and, of course, fantastic) is that some people were finally able to hear it.

Someone in the audience mentioned Africa By Night but Justin wasn’t really in the mood to talk about that track. [/QUOTE]

I only saw what happened at Mountain but most of the Innuendo sessions were at Metropolis so how could I know this?[/QUOTE]

That could explain it - 'All Imaginary-Skydaddy's People' was chiefly tracked at The Town House before the 'Barcelona' project (as opposed to 'for the "Barcelona" project') and then some work was done on it, most likely at The Town House again, for 'The Miracle'. So, there's a strong chance little (or none) of 'All Ridiculous-Fictional-Character's People' was done in Switzerland, therefore Justin wasn't (too) involved with it.

Why? Why they are always shows something only on any conventions but officially release not in the pipeline ?
How long they will be mock the fans?
They want more money but not making any eagerness and desire. They're doing "easy money" from Wembley, Montreal, Queen on the Fire but instead of releasing what is truly rare product , they begin to bear nonsense

Great to hear the feedback for this event - it would have been if such interest to me but sadly I couldn’t justify the spend at present.

Great to see Justin’s post crediting David Richards with his work ei H the band too.

Intriguing to hear that Roger’s drums on TSMGO has no click track - I thought that on top of the acoustic take there was an accompanying drum machine part, which Id assumed would be synced to a click, and Roger then played to that.

I’d have liked to hear different versions of I Can’t Libe With You as there were working versions with acoustic drums and Brian’s programmes parts.

anato I'd have been flying from Cork too if this was within my price range but alas not. It sounds like it was an amazing experience. Would love to have heard the drum track fro Innuendo alone.

Damn, take it easy there Sebash, you'll be alright - I promise.

The stems do have a programmed basic beat, IIRC, so the plot thickens... Roger said (AG AC, 2009) he hadn't been there for the genesis of the track so who knows? Perhaps at some point Brian did a demo with programmed drums and then later on Rog replaced (most of) them with a live performance (playing to Brian's synth rather than to a click per se).

"Recording was prohibited and I hope no one recorded to preserve the integrity of this event"

I hope for the exact opposite.

Hi John,

I understand you wish for the opposite.
The fact is that QP is very careful about their legacy. Those unreleased outtakes of Innuendo from last saturday will not be released. Deal with it, live with it and accept it. So the only way we will get to hear these recordings are with special events like this or at fanclub days and the like. If someone recorded anyway, QPL will not host such an event ever again and we will never hear anything like this anymore.
I think we need to be a bit more humble to have all these demands that the outtakes should be released.

Very wise sunshine ;-)
But this not what want .
It should fair every one can hear some of these raw sessions
I am looking forward to the alternate innuendo.....

Up until three years ago, we'd all think or say that about a live version of 'Master-Stroke' (no - we'd say it never existed); up until 2011, we'd say that about a synth-less 'Football Fight' or a 1980 take of 'It's a Beautiful Day'. So things change ... don't be so pessimistic.

We're on the same page about one thing, though: if we ever want even a slight chance of any of those recordings ever seeing the light, sneaking recorders and bootlegging the outtakes is definitely not the way. On the contrary, it will destroy any minimal odds of them even considering issuing those gems, not to mention thwarting the possibility of future 'BTT' experiences for that album or any other.

PS: I don't mind those events being 'flooded' by technical questions. That's what they're for! People more interested in Frederick's underwear or how Deaks liked his tea can go to other events, which are focused on those details.

Totally agree on this point Sebastian!! These events are absolutely for the musicians, gear 'geeks' etc

Somehow i am not able to quote anymore on this site. Anyway.

@Sebastian
I hope you will be right. They have literally every note ever played for the Innuendo album. And we heard only 5% of that, maybe even less. So there is plenty of material left.

Glad you agree with me regarding bootlegging, it is disrespectful of Br

I also didn't like the technical questions. I really don't give a shit what type of microphone Freddie was using or what kind of mixing desk was used.
It is about the music. I rather hear a new take on Innuendo than getting to know what presettings on his amp and what cable Brian used on Delilah.

Noel Harris also underlined that the source is the most important factor if something sounds good or not.

@cmsdrums:
No they are not only for the musicians and gear geeks.

Its about the music.
