Dear All,
I was having a Facebook chat with someone a couple of days back in response to an official Queen post reminiscing about the Marquee Club performance on 9th April 1973 under the title 'Doing All Right: Queen’s London Marquee Club Launch Of 1973' with a link pointing to

I commented that I clearly remembered one Saturday or Sunday afternoon way back in the early 1980's (say between 1982 and 1985) one of the Marquee Club concerts being broadcast by BBC Radio 1 MW and had taped it off the radio. Unfortunately, as it was only recorded off a poor Medium Wave transmission, the quality wasn't good so I recorded over the tape much later, hoping that one day the concert would be rebroadcast on an FM frequency which would be far better. However, that rebroadcast never happened and there now seems to be no reference to this specific concert recording in any concertographies I can find.
Someone else (MT) then responded to say that he too remembers the broadcast on the 'In Concert' series and he also recorded it off the radio, but like me his tape no longer exists. But, nevertheless, I was delighted to find at least someone else who clearly remembers this concert being broadcast by the BBC and it was this venue and NOT the Golder's Green BBC recording which is much better known.
Therefore, this begs the question...
DOES anyone else out there remember this specific broadcast of one of the Queen Marquee Club concerts on Radio 1 back in the early 80s?
It would be great to hear who else recalls this, especially if they too remember taping it and maybe still has that dusty old TDK stuck in a draw somewhere with this concert on it that unfortunately was never, to my knowledge, rebroadcast.
Thanks!
