Recorded live at the legendary Hammersmith Odeon in Dec 1975, a complete GEM of a new album released 40 years later. Only a few verses of Bohemian Rhapsody, and the rest is faster, darker, heavier Queen. Mammoth recording here. I love the band's 76 forward output, but the first 3 albums will always be my favorite as they were a big part of the creation of heavy metal, I believe.
For decades, I didn't think there were any professional recordings of music from 1972 through 1975. Glad to see this and the BBC tapes seeing the light of day.
Hearing this version of 'White Queen' brings a tear to my eye. Even BETTER than the studio version.
This will be in regular rotation for the rest of the year. The rhythm section that was Roger Taylor/John Deacon so strong as always.
