We Will Rock You & We Are The Champions (Raw Takes)

Q2: ?oncerts with Lambert is real rubbish

What rubbish,it's the basic songs with a bit of dialogue![/QUOTE]

From the ears that hear nothing. . . .

Is it true that We will rock you could be named We will beat you but Freddie didn’t like title and we will beat you turned to We will rock you ?

I do hope we will get a blu ray of wembley,what's happened to Brixton? Thought that was due this year.

^ Blu Ray of Wembley? Wtf? It's not even shot on film to be justified being put on blu ray given that we have full DVD's of BOTH nights released in 2011. And they're already as good quality as they can get given limitations of TV broadcast cameras at the time. Also, you're clearly deaf, mate. What did you expect, Freddie singing about gooses and cottage cheese being the champions of Mars? Brian playing an early incarnation of The Show Must Go On solo in WATC sessions?

By Blu-Ray release, you mean the footage that Do-Ro shot, because if so that would be fantastic. Otherwise, it's not worth the money to even consider that as Chief mentions above ^ I mean look at this, glorious footage: Of course, it's very unlikely the full gig was recorded. Likely they filmed the last few songs on the previous night and the first couple songs from the second night! -Chin

A while back I asked Rudi himself about filming Wembley and knebworth and I believe he said he filmed the whole Wembley show (not sure which night)

If anyone is interested also.. WATC and WWRY are available for download on iTunes

Have to say, I absolutely adored the ending to WATC.
Really would have left us with an entirely different feel, if that's how the song originally ended.

So these raw sessions are some sorts of mixes made of different takes and contain the polished backing vocals already? Of course I'd love to hear raw stuff, but I was still very pleased with this teaser.

Made a quick video for it. Those interested, head this way - http://www.queenzone.com/forums/1489712/we-are-the-champions-alternative-2017-montage-by-cm-.aspx?anchor=0 .

Lovely touches in there Chief.

RE the actual recording: I know the timing of the singing is out - compared to the finished track (Fred obviously feeling his way around it) but does anyone else hear quite jarring edits between the different sections? Not a criticism, but perhaps not as tidy as they could've made it?

To the earlier poster who says it's not as exciting as hearing live FFMS for the first time - obviously not, but I'd say for QP to OK this is on par with that especially considering all the goosebumps reported.

What about Hot Space? Those horrendous Rare Live edits? Greatest Hits III?[/QUOTE]

I'll rephrase to unpolished. Every release is subject to their idea of good quality - sometimes that idea of good quality will be unusual or out of touch. For what it's worth, Hot Space is a very well produced and well performed record for what it's trying to be. That style of song is just not where they're at their best.

and really I'm referring to content like outtakes and demos, which reveals their process in all its imperfection, as opposed to the finished product.

I've a feeling the last, backing vocals only chorus is a modern pro tools creation rather than a 1977 arrangement choice that was abandoned.

no I'm not deaf mister chief Mickey Mouse,it was a basic point about Wembley?you do get excited about issues on this forum,maybe you should take stock and look at you queen collection(I assume you have one??)and enjoy their music.
