Personally, I would wanted Queen to use the guitar on the albums the same way they did on stage. I also think they should have used the synthesizers in a different way and that Roger should be as full of energy as he was in the early days throughout the years they played.

See What A Fool I've Been sang seriously is much better
White Queen with piano is much better
Spread Your wings from BBC is also better
WWRY slow/fast from BBC is also better
Son And Daughter from Session 2 is another better version...
Guitar in my Melancholy Blues also sounds cool...
Demos from Hot Space (Staying power, Back Chat, Las Palabras De Amor etc) sound better than actual album cuts... Staying Powe in particular sounded far better live...
THE WORKS should be without keyboards and electric drum... :)
Enough...? I think I prefer live renditions to album versions in most cases- less produced, more spontaneous and basically fresher and more powerfull...

I wouldn't change anything, but I'd like to add something: for instance - all songs that sung by Brian and Roger - with Freddie's vocals on it...

I agree with you about the tunes you wrote above.
yeah, Hot Space - remove all traces of funk and replace with rock
the works - get more power and drums into the mix

Son & Daughter (beeb) session 2. Alot better than original version.
Hot Space. I'm not too keen on the electric drum kits and synthesizers. They should still use electric drum kits but not as much as they did in Hot Space and the works.
I Don't mind Hot Space and i love The Works.

Action This Day should have a guitar solo, not a synth brass one.
Invisible Man needs the hi-hat turning down (or off).
Was It All Worth It needs guitar to replace the synth.
All Gods People should still be unreleased.

There are always bits you would like to change a little in songs. I hate 'A Winter's Tale' at the start because the synth just comes in and makes it sound very I dunno, old. And I wouldnt have the harmony parts (the dream of the child) quite so loud. Apart from that the song is wonderful.

I totally agree with you an that one.
I don't actually mind that song its just the synth solo i don't like. It wrecks it for me.

I would change the synth solo in I Want To Break Free to a guitar solo. It's always kind of ruined the song for me.
"Play The Game with Andy Gibb" - I would release it!
Umm...I wouldn't change anything, but I'd love a harder version of Prime Jive without the synth, just to hear what it'd be like.
More singing from Brian & Roger. In fact I would have liked if Queen instead of having a frontman had four instrumentalists, three of them splitting the singing. I prefer Break Free with Roger, for instance
the only song i can really think of is radio ga ga. i think it's just such a fantastic song but it sounds a bit too synthasised and not as energetic as it could be. i think they should have done it the way they did it at wembley, it is so much more energetic and freddie's vocals are really powerful. i think that it conveys the meaning of the song much better.

Definitely agree with AtD and AGP.
I would have shortened the Flash Gordon Soundtrack into an EP.
I would have had Roger and Brian sing more harmonies rather than Freddie only harmonies.
