The two recordings are from the same venue, but it my opinion, Hammy 79 recording seems to be very echoey compared to the 75 version. Anybody either have a version that isn't echoey or can anyone shed any light on the matter?

Probably just recorded from different locations in the venue. Personally, I prefer the '79 concert, which remains something of a bootleg 'classic'.
I prefer the '75 version, the sound quality certainly is better compared to the '79 one I have. '79 was more energetic though.
Hammy'79
Hammy'75 really sucks IMHO. It's just an average show. Weak setlist, where are all the gems, like Flick of the Wrist, Sweet Lady, The Prophet's Song, Doing Allright etc.???? The highlight of the show is Brighton Rock + solo.
Hammy' 79 is just a rocker, great audience, great setlist, Freddie in superb shape, just brilliant.

The only good thing bout Hammy 75 is its quality. The performance isnt very good, just average, Bo Rhap sucks, and the setlist is boring. But the extravagance is cool!
Hammersmith '75 ws amazing, Freddie's vioce was just awesome that night, and the set list is amazing! Now I'm Here, March of the Black Queen, White Queen, Liar, Keep Yourself Alive....how can you go wrong with those?
Hammy 75 all the way. Queen were on all 4 cyliders that night. I personally never heard a better version of Brighton Rock,BoRhap (even though it wasn't the entire song)and especially Liar. They had a great flow to their playing that night. Over all it was a solid set.
I converted a lot of Zeppelin fans to Queen fans when I used to blast the concert on my Boom box during Lunch break in High school.That's a tough thing to do when your talking about another great band like Zep.

75 is a soundboard recording, and 79 is an audience recording. So of course 79 will probably be echoier (is that how you spell that?!))
The 79 soundboard from the video isn't echoey at all.
I can't choose between these two concerts. They're both fantastic.

Sweet Lady & The Prophet's Song had only just been released, it's hardly suprising that Prophet's wasn't ready to do live yet, plus it would have taken up half the broadcast.

Yeah they only had a limited amount of time or something?
I think they are both great performances, but 1979 is a little bit better.

Wrong. They were already in the set before this gig. The A Night At The Opera tour started, I believe, on 15 november 1975 in Liverpool. Even in the first concert were those 2 songs. But since this was a special concert, I guess they had dropped those 2 songs, since they weren't very popular at that time. And that's a shame really.

It has some very nice harmonies, and the headbanging bit is just stunning. One of the best Brian, John and Roger ever have done on a record. It is a great collaboration, musically spoken.
And the song sounded very strong in the beginning.
And by the way, it's my opinion, if you don't like it, fine.
