The Brian & Roger Cover Collection

Hi folks!

I always wanted to compile every non-album cover track recorded by Brian and Roger. They have done plenty of them over the years, some of which aren't easily available - so here you are! This is the criterion I followed:

- [b]No main solo album or box set tracks.[/b]
- [b]It must feature a Queen member on lead vocals.[/b] This excludes "Runaway (Crime Story)", among many others.
- Studio versions and professional live recordings only.
- Chronological order according to Brian and Roger's timeline.

I may have missed some tracks that fit the rules I followed, so please feel free to suggest them. Also, some of my sources aren't lossless - higher quality recordings are welcome!

Fantastic!

Thanks!

Thanks a lot

Oooohhh! Fantastic collection!
Super, total and many thanks!

I would add Since You've been gone (Brian with kerry ellis), live at the Sunflower Super Jam. He signs, also. Is really a great one!

Is Brian deaf or have deaf friend?

Excellent compilation! Several corrections: 2004 Brian May + Cozy Powell - (Marie's The Name) His Latest Flame (unreleased cover) (by Doc Pomus and Mort Shuman, based on Elvis' version) Cozy is no longer with us since 1998. This cover was demoed sometime around 1997 for 'Heroes' album "F.B.I." (Brian on guitar only, instrumental track) As far as I remember everything was played by Brian May on this track except two guitars by Francis Rossi and Rick Parfitt form Status Quo.

Fantastic..many thanks

Fantastic job, Golden Salmon! Your collections are pure gold! Thanks a lot!

I tried to remember if there would be something else to add and all I could come up with was Brian's Grand Coulee Dam, which seems to be unavailable online, and this:

Of course, Cozy died in 1998, shortly before the AW tour. 2004 is the year the track surfaced on the [url=https://www.discogs.com/es/Cozy-Powell-Alive-In-Studio-II/release/4634684]Alive in Studio II bootleg[/url]. So "2004" is sort of a release date rather than the actual recording date. Sorry for the confusion.

Yes! Thank you a lot for the suggestions!

I would love the DVD source for the original 46664 show, it's hard to get hold of. Could anybody share it or point the way to it? PM if necessary! EDIT: "Cosi Celeste" is not from the same show, but my request - for both - stands... :-P

I just realised I have "Grand Coulee Dam" on a mislabeled MP3 file from 2002! The links here on queenzone are down but I can still include what I have. Does anybody know the station and date for the radio broadcast?

I definitely missed this, so I'll be updating it ASAP :-) I would appreciate the best quality available, mine is just a 128 kbit source but maybe that's all there is.

Roger has also performed 'Jealous Guy' by John Lennon and 'I Am The Walrus' by The Beatles, but these were not professionally filmed as far as I know so these don't fit your criteria..

I'm sure I've seen a multi camera shoot of Roger also singing Zep's 'Rock n Roll' with the SA Band, but not sure of the origen of that.

As for "Rock n Roll", you've got my attention: I don't suppose this performance (or a similar one) is available in pro quality...

dream is over (John Lennon cover) live performance by Brian
