Queen/IL, USA 1978

From the American tour accompanying the album “JAZZ”, the Chicago Stadium performance on December 7, 1978 appears for the first time with amazing ultra-high sound quality and almost complete recording! Uses takes with incredible sound quality that have become available in recent years. It perfectly reproduces the stage of this period with a tremendous sound comparable to the official “LIVE KILLERS”. There is information that this take was recorded with a special microphone installed at the venue, and although it is unclear how true it is, it is true that the voices of the audience cannot be heard very close, and it is unbelievable when compared to a normal audience recording. It is true that it is a stable recording. In any case, there is no doubt that this work is one of the best recordings of JAZZ TOUR, along with the Montreal performance of the same period. In addition, the band’s overall mood is wonderful, and you can hear the best stage on a large scale, full of entertainment typical of this period. If You Can’t Beat Them, It’s Late, Fat Bottomed Girls, which were not included in the official live show, and Brighton Rock, where you can hear unusual guitar solos, are the best to listen to, but with this sound quality. A full concert that can be listened to at once will give listeners a greater sense of satisfaction than the official one. It’s definitely one that you can listen to for the rest of your life. Don’t Stop Me Now is played in the piano improvisation part of the intro to Spread Your Wings, and it’s a shame that there is a cut just at this part, but it is a very unusual development. Freddie’s condition is also good enough, and you can listen to a good performance like the band throughout the entire album. The drawback is the lack of ending in We Are The Champions, and the fade-out about 20 seconds after God Save The Queen starts, but other than that, as mentioned above, it is recorded with a stable and really wonderful recording.
