It's wonderful to hear Brian's solo spot after all these years - it's definitely one of his better ones.

And Mercury does a bit of scat singing at the end of Brighton Rock, just like he'd do in Dust at Knebworth 86. Great stuff.


Yeah, a great show from a great tour ;-)


Oh, I see what you did there !

On stage and off stage are two different things. Queen always stayed professional on stage amidst their off stage excess and turmoil, unlike bands like Zeppelin and Aerosmith.

Of course they sound great here, because they were always too professional to be even remotely bad. But in their minds they're about a week away from breaking up. Listen to Brian's heartfelt speech during the acoustic section of the last gig in Osaka if you're not convinced. This happened at no other show in their career.


Is that the "this stuff will never be seen again" quote? He might easily have been talking about the set -- the cogwheels etc. But I admit it does sound a bit elegiac.

Was this the concert that was filmed?

Whooooh!!! I guess someone is going to merge the two sources very soon and the show will be complete... I can't wait to listen this new source. This is a good way to start my lazy Sunday morning.

Nobody has questioned that after the Works tour Queen were on the verge of breaking up and that Live Aid brought back the energy to continue as a band. That has been documented for decades. The bone of contention are the reasons for feeling jaded.

But thanks for the reference to Brian's heartfelt speech before Love Of My Life! That is indeed an important document in Queen history.
