I would love anything from the Hot Space US tour. I truly believe that was the last time they took a chance, and when it backfired they played it safe; even the set lists were rarely varied up after ‘82, and when they were it was the odd song or two. I wonder how many chances they might have taken on some of those dates we haven’t heard yet...

I would love to Hear Put Out The Fire in Toronto 1982 as it was apparently played as a standalone song instead of a medley version

I have also spoken to someone who attended the first night, but had friends who attended the second night and recalls them saying they played it.

The only show the original lineup played in my country - Auckland 13/4/1985. I'd assume Freddie sounds more fresh than the following Australia shows. I've spoken to a couple people who were there and neither can recall him appearing intoxicated. The band beg to differ though, and they supposedly had a cracking night at the office. This would be the one for me too. Compared to most of you I'm relatively new in that I've only been obsessed for about five years now. In the beginning I used to search for this concert in every possible source before I finally realized it wasn't out there. The stories of Freddie's intoxication from the band and from Hince's book have made me curious to see for myself. This is the same for me . I’m intrigued by this one so I would love to see for myself .

For me it must be Gothenburg 1982. The EU Hot Space Tour is my favourite leg and I pretty much like every show for various reasons the main one being the very interesting setlists! And Gothenburg has the chance of featuring another '82 Liar and that wonderful Keyboards solo and who knows what else!

If I could add anything, it would be:
- Sunbury 1974, preferably a good audience tape with all the MC talk intact, to hear how it really was - anything from The Hectics, to hear Freddie's piano playing and what they were playing - Smile at the Royal Albert Hall 1969, their biggest gig and apparently they did See What a Fool I've Been. Additionally the audio could have been synced with the available footage - Blackpool 1974, opening show of the Queen II Tour, which means the very first Queen gig with the piano on stage. They probably did The Fairy Feller's Master Stroke, and premiered Seven Seas of Rhye and White Queen. Every recording with White Queen is significant to me, as I adore this song. - Memphis 1974 with Mad The Swine - Stafford 1977, very important and memorable show - the rest of Inglewood from December 1977
If I had to pick only one, it's Blackpool 1974.

I think Blackpool could be one of mine as well, especially that The Night Comes Down was rumoured to have been played too. Canvey Island would be a great listen too with Freddie playing the electric piano. I wonder whether he would've acted on stage with his swearing like he did at pretty much every show in the 80s!

Anything from March '74 would be fine by me, really, as so little is known about that tour.
But I highly doubt Sunbury was taped - the crowd was there to hear the local Aussie bands, and if anyone was taping they almost certainly wouldn't have wasted their tape on the one British band they'd never heard of.

Unlikely. It wasn't until 1977 when he started to swear on stage. I'm pretty sure that he was trying to make the best out of it. But Roger recalls that it was the worst Queen show, so there must be a strong reason for him saying that.

Yeah, I can hardly imagine Sunbury tape popping out suddenly. I agree that anything from March 1974 would be fine, that period is fascinating and I'm sure they were experimenting a lot.

I can't pick just one so here's my list of stuff intriguing me: - a very early Queen show, the 1970 concert Brian mentioned or anything else from 70-72 - a march 1974 show; we're very lucky to have Rainbow as an official release but this is actually even more reason to also hear something else from that month! - Leeds 2-11-74:all 4 Queen members were great Who fans; I'm sure Leeds University inspired them to give an awesome performance. Also, Freddie sounded awesome in Liverpool and I think also in Leeds. The rest of the band had 1 more show under their belt and were now probably really rocking - Edinburgh 1-2/9/76: great setlist and Freddie's voice sounding absolutely beautiful and stunning - the soundboard recording from Columbus 15-1-77: very curious to hear what Freddie sounded like 3 nights in the tour - a soundboard recording of Bristol - Southampton - Glasgow, to be able to do the comparison with Earls Court; that said, a release of Earls Court is long overdue! - Boston 12-11-77 and LA 22-12-77 soundboards both complete - whatever soundboard tapes they have from NOTW 78! - Oakland 16-12-78 soundboard (if it exists of course) or anything from that LA run (if only we had the recordings Millard made!) - 3 nights in Paris '79: the raw audio and video; imo pure rock 'n roll (the band is wild and Mercury is giving his all with a damaged voice) - Liverpool 07-12-79 and London 22-12-79 soundboard audio and of course the complete Hammy '79 show in glorious quality (audio and video) - something from the LA 80 run in great quality (getting San Diego recently was AWESOME!) - something from early august 1980 in great quality - LA 15-09-1982; I'm sure this is - just like the second NY '82 show - one hell of a show... - Soundboard recordings of the 3 Leiden 1986 shows and Knebworth complete with whatever footage there is all available

I forgot South- America 81 (how could I??): - Complete and great sounding audio from Buenos Aires 8-3-81, Sao Paulo 21-3-81 and Monterrey 81
And they should rerelease Montreal with the same film cut but also the commplete audio from both shows (I know this will never happen, don't worry about me!)
