Thanks for sharing.
This isn´t Silver Salmon, not even an alternative take. Can someone says the exact name of this demo?- It seems to me that it was recorded from a convention.
This song ends where Silver Salmon begins in the tape, that´s why so many people says this is an alternative version, but to me this is something new.
Take care

As far as I know there are two silver salmon with VERY noticiable different lyrics.
Thanks for posting, Serry. This is actually the version I already had - but no matter. It looks like everybody else is having fun with it : ) And the recording's not that bad, actually...
[QUOTE][QUOTENAME]Serry... wrote: [/QUOTENAME]I'm so high right now, I have no idea what's going on... But Freddie himself could hardly remember lyrics and chords of SYW just 5 years after it was written, recorded and performed for a million times. So saying that Rog, Bri and Fred remember the complete song while John didn't know it at all... I don't know but it's weak argument, IMHO.[/QUOTE]
In 1977, Freddie could remember the lyrics to a 5-year-old song. By 1982 however (which is the one-off Spread Your Wings you mentioned), Freddie had done a hell of a lot of drugs, and that surely had an effect on his memory.
The folklore of Silver Salmon points to 1971, and the evidence points to 1977. Is there some way we could get more people to see this? I wish we could debate this at QOL, but most people there don't believe in bootlegs.
[QUOTE]I don't know guys... But Seven Seas Of Rhye (Q1) intro in the end of the song....[/QUOTE]

Freddie could also be joking that he didn't knew the words/chords of Spread Your Wings.
I believe he said "I only remember the chorus!"

Oh no... he didn't know them. He didn't know the chords, either. He was doing D G C D. It's kinda close, but not nearly as pretty as D Em Gm6 D. The chords he chose on the fly are simple and can work easily.

I don't think he properly tried to play the song really.
I think he was just playing some chords and tried to sing the lyrics to it with a different melody.

But he even said, "I've forgotten the chords", or something to that effect.
But Bob, you know how Freddie was. He was fooling around all the time, especially in the 80's. I still think he was joking and especially teasing the audience.
Yeah, that's possible... either way, we're not going to find the answer. :P
I don't know what to think, but i think it is from the NOTW sessions, the Vocals, & the Drums give it away. :P Look at Freddie's vocals in the early 70's, then look at NOTW, in 77 his vocals had more of a raspy sound on heavier songs. So if my opinion and observation counts for anything, i believe that SS is from NOTW sessions.
I was listening to this track this morning for the first time in a LONG time, and reminded me off this discussion from a good year-and-a-half ago.
I've got two version - one just kicks in with the song (3:00 long) and the other is the one with Freddie saying how "I know he doesn't know it etc" (3:10) - although I know these are probably exactly the same take just different cuts/quality.
BUT... it still seems implicitly obvious that this track was recorded at the NOTW sessions in '77. For example, outside of the fact that Rog had NEVER used timbales before NOTW (although had experimented with higher-pitched rack-toms during ANATO/ADATR stuff, I think anyway), Freddie's voice is far more developed than anything from the very early 70's (compare his speaking tone at the beginning of the Polar Bear demo to him speakign at the start of Silver Salmon...).
Just wondered what peoples thoughts are, or whether my attempts to bump a an actual decent one of my favourite - topics up in a forum littered with questions about peoples favourite Queen songs will be shot down. Maybe people dont even care anymore!
