I've just bought 'Live Magic' for the first time and it's not a bad little album. They could have made some smoother transitions.
I was wondering if we can confirm the venues for that disc, while we're at it.. is this correct?
01 One Vision (5:07) (from Knebworth)
02 Tie Your Mother Down (2:59) (from Knebworth)
03 Seven Seas Of Rhye (1:19) (from Knebworth)
04 A Kind of Magic (5:31) (from Budapest)
05 Under Pressure (3:48) (from Budapest)
06 Another One Bites The Dust (5:50) (from Knebworth)
07 I Want To Break Free (2:40) (from Knebworth)
08 Is This The World We Created (1:31) (from Wembley)
09 Bohemian Rhapsody (4:40) (from Knebworth)
10 Hammer To Fall (5:20) (from Wembley)

Yes, this is exactly correct! Just note that track 8 is from the first night, July 11, while track 10 is from the second night, July 12.
Sir GH: It was a short snippet in a "patchwork documentary" on german TV, a DoRo kinda thing. Thomas Gottschalk was shown interviewing the band on the steps of the drumriser, and short sequences from the concert were integrated. One of the snippets included the audience shouting "Mustapha" and Freddie responded. I'm pretty sure that I remember it right, although I've recorded accidentally over my videotape of that documentary - so not 100 %, apologies for that.
Is there a common video from that show out there ? That was the first time I've seen anything from munich.

Yeah, that sounds like the Munich 79 footage and interview to me. That's a pretty common video now, so don't worry about taping over it!
Thanks very much for the info GH, and for all the time you've invested in analyzing this stuff :)
I have another question: Has there always been a little 'click' in the left channel during the Mustapha intro to Bo Rhap on 'Live Killers'? It's about 20 seconds into it. Just wondering whether or not to correct it for my playing copy. :)

I think it's just another sound coming from the audience. Nothing worth getting the scissors for!
Glad to help. :)
KISS re-recorded everything for Alive! except the drums.
Wow, I can't believe that... but again, I guess I'm gonna have to. :P
...No, you don't have to, because it's not the case. Yes there were overdubs done on Alive, as is the case on most live records (which I don't agree with -but understand- by the way) and one of the areas that received the MOST work was in fact the drums (to which Peter Criss himself feely admits). On the whole though, it is indeed considered to be a live album (just not too live!)
Thanks again :)
Yeah, I think it's the sound of one hand clapping.
:-P

Ah yeah, there's a Simpsons reference to anything.
For those who are interested:
After doing some more bootleg listening, and carefully reading through the 1979 section of Greg's book, I've updated my Live Killers analysis. I've especially updated WWRY fast, Death On Two Legs, Get Down Make Love, and Brighton Rock.

This is indeed still a fascinating thread. Perhaps Queens best ever tour, and finding out what has officially seen the light of day by now.
Anyway, another question: in Bycicle Race the vocal harmonies on "Fat bottomed girls, they'll be riding today" are just so damn perfect, I listened to them several times and I am pretty convinced that they added an "additional Freddie". One can clearly detect Rog, I am not sure about Bri, but it sounds as if there is a nice third sung over, and it sounds like Fred. Any comments ?
If there is no overdub it' s a very impressive sign that they could outdo any other band vocally on stage. Even if it is overdubbed I still think they were almost perfect on a good day.
Speaking of harmonies: I have the '39 version from Seattle '77 (or '76?) and that was NOT a good day... ;-)Especially Rog did not hit the high notes exactly, so I assume that the quality of their singing really changed during a tour.

During Freddie's presentation of Love of my live (in the LK album) you can hear someone from the public saying in spanish "Qué guapo eres!" (how beautiful you are (?).
Does it means this is from Barcelona or Madrid?

Yes. More than you.

I just listened ultra-carefully to the Frankfurt bootleg and Live Killers side to side at this point for about a minute, and I assure you, they're identical. Sometimes their harmonies on stage really were that good!!

Interesting observation! Are you talking about the faint female voice at :14? Although the song seems to be from Frankfurt, the spoken intro is not, so you may very well be right by suggesting the intro could be from a Spanish concert.

If it didn't matter, then there wouldn't be four pages of replies, would there?
