all tracks played live from HS sound a way better than the studio versions.. esp. back chat, staying power and action this day.. body language is also quite good live... haven't heard life is real live yet...

Hot space is a terrible album. Queen were always essentially a hard rock band who liked to experiment but the dance pap on hot space is awful. The tracks sound better live because Brian was not tied down and his guitar took over from synths and the drums are real not drum machines. GA GA and Break Free from the works sounded better live too when they were rocked off. btw Love Kills rock mix is amazing should have been on made in heaven/
Hmm... I just realized in Under Pressure on like... the third or so "do do do do do do doo"'s of the song john hits the wrong last note.
Quite alot of stuff goes wrong in Live At The Bowl too. Apart from Freddie changing various lines, Brian's lead comes out of his guitar during his solo, and John trips over a wire during Under Pressure! It's still a great show though...
Haha, I loved it when the lead came out of Brian's guitar! I got a kick out of it. It added to the magic because of the reactions from the audience.
I believe that the Hot Space songs were much better live than in the studio. My favorite live Hot Space song was Action This Day song by Roger. This was a nice change from I'm In Love With My Car that he probably did hundreds of times in previous tours.
I think that 'live at the bowl' is one of their best concerts. I love 'action this day'. Anyone agree?
Yes yes yes i so agree! Body language is cool though! The video clip is hilarious.. when the lady falls into the cake.
