God Save The Queen
Does anybody else in here like Queen ?
I personally think that they were simply FANTASTIC, amazing, innovative, fresh, unique and landmark.
While their 70s were Rock at the finest level of composition, their 80s were experimental, adding new sounds, more keyboards, pop influences, etc, etc. I love every Queen album, except for Hot Space.
Moreover, I really believe they were a better live band than U2, because since their first LP tour until their last gig at Knewborth 1986, they were fantastic performers as well showmen, specially Freddie.
I haven´t seen no other band that can make sing every single song in front of 250,000 people (Rock in Rio 1985) as one, and every gig was an event, just remember Hammersmith 1979, Sao Paulo 1981 (130,000 people attended at Morumbi Stadium, biggest attendance for a single band concert at that time!), Live Aid 1985 (sorry guys, but the kings of that event weren´t U2, were Queen) Wembley 1986, Knewborth 1986, etc, etc.
Also I haven´t seen no other band with more Stadium anthems as Queen. "We Will Rock You", "We Are The Champions", "Tie Your Mother Down", "Radio Ga Ga", "Love Of My Life", "Save Me", "In The Laps Of God", "Friends Will Be Friends", "A Kind Of Magic", "Spread Your Wings", "39", "Is This The World We Created", "Under Pressure", "Somebody To Love", etc, etc
Good news for you, Queen fans.
This is more than just a rumor, because in August it was posted the the results of a poll with more than 1100 votes on the official Brian May site (www.brianmay.com). And fans voted for the new Queen concert on DVD...
Houston, USA, 1977 (a 70s gig at last !!). In case you don´t know, the release of "Queen On Fire - Live At The Bowl" was because of another poll, in which the famous Milton Keynes 1982 gig was voted as the next Queen release on DVD !!.
As what happened with the Milton Keynes concert, so far there isn´t a complete video version circulating among collectors, so it will be more exciting to see it complete for the first time.
Here´re the results:
What should the next live Queen DVD release be?
Houston (USA - 1977) 27% 311
Hyde Park (London, UK - 1976) 15% 172
Rainbow Theatre (London, UK - 1974) 14% 165
Concert For Kampuchea - Hammersmith Odeon (London, UK - 1979) 12% 138
Hammersmith Odeon (London, UK - 1975) 10% 113
Rock In Rio (Rio de Janeiro, Brazil - 1985) (Both nights seperately) 9% 104
Budapest, Hungary (1986) 6% 67
Tokyo, Japan (10-04-1979) 4% 42
Yogishi Auditorium (Tokyo, Japan - 1985) 2% 22
Seibu Lions Stadium (Tokorozawa , Japan - 1982) 1% 7
total votes: 1141

All can I say is WOW!!! the Houston 1977 was truly outstanding, with every member in top form, specially Freddie´s voice and Roger´s drumming. It was the first time they performed their anthems "We Will Rock You" and "We Are The Champions", and it´s so amazing to listen to them almost as studio versions, with Freddie in excellent vocal shape.
It will be the first time that songs as "Death On Two Legs", "The Millionaire Waltz", "You're My Best Friend", "39", "White Man", Stone Cold Crazy" or others will appear on DVD.
Peace
