This record was arguably their peak as a live band, and the Game songs fit in very well on tour, but as a record itself, it doesn't offer much beyond the tracks you'd find on a greatest hits collection.

Although I'm not a hardcore Queen-fan I remember George Michael singing on Live Aid, replacing the deceased Freddie Mercury. He was the best replacement possible to my ears. Both gone.

Freddie was very much alive and kicking on Live Aid?

"I never got Queen or understood the attraction. If I was a spy/secret agent or high ranking government official and was captured by any of my sworn enemies or evil doers. All they would have to do is lock me in a room play Queen at an excessive volume for an hour or so and I would give up all the Top Secret information they wanted. I would rat out all my friends and colleagues I would even give up the codes to the Nukes.
Since I am not a niether of the above and just an insignificant nobody I will put it in simpler terms. I would rather have a Root Canal performed with an oyster fork than listen to Queen because the pain is on the same level."
Makes it 2 of us mate!

Almost all the decent stuff is on the first five albums. Songs like Seven Seas of Rye, Killer Queen, Bohemian Rhapsody etc. I loved Queen then, but I loathe the bland stuff they made later on like Radio Ga Ga, I Want to Break Free etc, Its such a shame that people think those crap songs define Queen.

A friend turned me on to them and my first live show was just as A Night at the Opera was being released.
I swear to you, and I know this sounds strange in the internet age but I’d never heard one song and never even seen a picture of them.
They were doing the theaters, 2-3000 seaters.
If a spaceship had landed in my backyard and aliens walked out I couldn’t have been more shocked.just the sound, the sheer talent on display,I couldn’t believe it.
They were doing everything off the first three albums,Now I’m Here , Killer Queen,
They played a song called White Queen many people may not know, it’s an old one but I’ll never forget Freddie singing “so sad, her eyes,as it began” I was thinking how can this fckng guy actually sing that great,it was like it was not even real.
A couple of years ago I saw the late Foo Fighters drummer Taylor Hawkins swearing that in fact Queen were the greatest rock band ever.i don’t agree but I can sure understand how he felt that way.
