A 1970 live tape, maybe?

I have some 55 year old BBC radio broadcasts on reel tapes that sound as good as the day they were recorded.

BETA215, re:

>We can see that it implies that there must be a tape of it somewhere, recorded by one of the persons that attended the concert. That's what he's implying

No it doesn't. It states that the invite went to friends AND people that might record them. By record them, he means record companies - not fans with Grundigs and single mikes making audience tapes. Why would a budding band, with a singer that had already stated he was going to be a legend bother about being bootlegged........?

So something may or may not exist. If it does exist, no one knows who owns it or where it is, not even Brian May. And even if it does exist, there is no indication that it will ever be made public.

What a great story.

It's not a strange idea that the band recorded themselves at rehearsals and live shows. Most bands did and still do. It's a very important part of your learning process.

As for what the songs might have sounded like. I guess the way Doing Alright was played was with guitar, like the Smile version.
Stone Cold Crazy - Didn't Barry Mitchell say that the way the song was played when he was the bass player it was the same as the album version? And I think Barry was the bassplayer at this gig, right?

Brilliant, yep. Apparently, Doing Alright might have been played with guitar now.

Also leads one to wonder whether the lyrics were sung with vocals.......?

Precisely.

Ah well, one can dream.
