Queen: Dallas 28/10/1978 - Full Audience Recording

Queen, Live At The Convention Centre, Dallas, Texas, USA. "Before the concert, the promo video for their new single Fat Bottomed Girls (directed by Dennis De Vallance) is filmed. This is the first show of Queen's tour supporting their new album "Jazz" (although the LP isn't to be released for a couple weeks), and their stage show has once again changed dramatically. Their new lighting rig has rows of lights that are so warm underneath that it has earned the nickname "pizza oven." At the beginning and end of the show, when the lighting rig rises and descends respectively, the intense heat from all the lights is felt by audience members in the first few rows. Five new songs from the Jazz album are heard tonight. Let Me Entertain You, If You Can't Beat Them and Dreamers Ball are new to the audience, but Fat Bottomed Girls and Bicycle Race were released as a single a couple weeks earlier. After the house lights go down, the show now opens with thunder being heard (as recorded by Brian May, and heard at the end of "Dead On Time" from the Jazz album), and Brian walking on stage first to play the opening chords of the fast version of We Will Rock You. This Dallas version of Let Me Entertain You is the closest to the record it would sound before it was developed into the blistering #2 live number. After the song, Freddie tells the audience that this is the first show of the American tour. "We have got a lot of new material for you, and you obviously are the first audience who are gonna listen to it. So anything might happen tonight, just about anything." Many older songs are dropped from the setlist to accomodate the newer material, but no other older songs are introduced or revived. For this first show, Let Me Entertain You and If You Can't Beat Them are performed successively, but soon Somebody To Love would be placed between them, as the band felt they should separate the new songs. Brian introduces Death On Two Legs after If You Can't Beat Them, but Freddie jumps in as there is a discrepancy with the setlist (perhaps even with the sound man as well, as Freddie's piano mic needs to be turned up a great deal after he starts speaking). "We're not gonna do that just yet. I'll kill you when I get in the dressing room!" he jokes to Brian. He continues, "We're gonna do a song... we're gonna do Death On Two Legs, don't worry, but before we do that, I'd like to do a song I like." This amuses the audience. "This is called Somebody To Love." - Queenlive.ca/queen/78-10-28.htm Recording Quality: B+ Lineage: Disc 1: AUD - AMPEX 90 normal bias cassette - cassette - PC - EQ - CDR - FLAC level 8 Disc 2: AUD - AMPEX 90 normal bias cassette - PC - EQ - CDR - FLAC level 8 Transfer: GE cassette recorder - Sony CDR-W33 More info here: http://www.queenzone.com/forums/76223... "For many years it was thought the recording existed only through Keep Yourself Alive. The taper shared the complete recording online in 2006 after realizing it hadn't circulated in full. His master copy didn't completely survive over the years, but fortunately a copy was made back in the day. The second disc is from the master, so it sounds a tad better. Before Spread Your Wings, the taper and his friend can be heard talking.
