Is Houston 1977 really that good ?

I have just watched WWRY on the GVH DVD and I think it is awesome, when the sound is mixed and the crowd are loud it changes this show dramatically. A loud audience can 'make' a show, dont judge soundboard gigs when they have not been mixed like Houston and Earls Court, belive me if these were to be released and the sound mixed they would be awesome.

They sang very out of key (especially Roger) in WWRY.

That is true. Soundboard sources are usually very dry and lack atmosphere. A show is much more enjoyable to listen to if the audience is prominent in the sound and you can actually hear them participating.

So true. Did Mike Millard tape any Queen shows? What's the 'Listen To This Eddie' of Queen boots?
Anyway, is this show only available on MP3, or is there a lossless version in circulation?

BTW the great sound is remixed by King Rick I.

That's true. But I didn't share the remixed version, it's the orginal version. To avoid complaints ;-).

Of course not... I'm referring to Hammersmith 1979, THE KAMPUCHEA CONCERT, not the HAmmy 75. Which songs do U believe have wrong notes?? :P

And I agree with you about Hammy 1975, there were some wrong notes... But the Bohemian Rhapsody performance, at least for me, is one of the best of all queen concertography :p

Bye! Saludos!

You did mentuion it, and I was referring to that one. I mean that show just isn't one of their best. And Bo Rhap was really false.

Yes, it is that good! I've seen it once and heard it twice. I can't say it's my favorite for sure but it is definitely the one I most covet.

Far better than Live Killers, Live at Wembley or On Fire at the Bowl.

Earl's Court and the Montreal We Will Rock You dvd are the other two shows I put in it's category.


Freddie's Prophet Song vocal solo and Brian's guitar solo are particular highlights. The best thing about it is that it's a great show with great quality that took place during the News of the World tour. I think they dropped a lot of great tracks from the set list on the Jazz tour so the NOTW tour is the one for me.

IT is definitely the Holy Grail of Queen concert videos for me. Brighton Rock the song and the solo are seperate(very cool to me) in this show.
