Queen/Manchester, UK 1974

This is a live album of the “Manchester performance on October 30, 1974” which was the first day of the valuable “SHEER HEART ATTACK TOUR”. On this day, several types of bootlegs were born from one recording, each with advantages and disadvantages. What has appeared this time is a combination of two of the best types by overseas enthusiasts, patching the overall image of the show into the best shape. Specifically, the source is from the opening “Procession” to 5 minutes 21 seconds of “Son And Doughter” (1), and the source is from 5 minutes 22 seconds to the last “Modern Times Rock ‘n’ Roll” (2) is. As expected, at the moment of switching, you can tell that “Ah, it has changed”, but since it is a master that originally started from the same recording, there is almost no sense of discomfort. Now, before we get into the details of the live album, let’s organize the schedule for now. The last day of the previous work “QUEEN II TOUR” was May 11, 1974, and after that “SHEER HEART ATTACK” was produced from July to September. The lead single “Killer Queen/Flick of the Wrist” was released the following day on October 21st. “SHEER HEART ATTACK” will be released on November 8th, so the first day of the tour, “October 30th”, is 9 days after the lead single and 9 days before the album’s release. Under such circumstances, the show is filled with the heat of the upswing and the excitement of the first day. In the new song, the performance seems a bit stiff, and the audience listens intently. It was a brand new live show for both the band and the audience to confirm each other through their new songs, but the single “Flick Of The Wrist” was released as a single, and the intro of “Killer Queen” caused a roar of excitement. It rolls around. Yes, the audience here isn’t confused by the new songs. Fans who have been looking forward to QUEEN’s new song are gathering, and there is a sense of excitement as they wonder what kind of song will pop up next. The sound has a muffled feel, and it is not a universal type like “SHEFFIELD 1974”, but a “first day record” type. However, it is never full of noise, and the nuances of such a show can be heard perfectly. QUEEN has started climbing the ladder of success, and we can’t wait to hear their album. It is a unique mood that was felt in “SHEFFIELD 1974”, but on the first day, it appeared even more strongly. A live album that fully captures the atmosphere that can only be found in England at this time. Live at Palace, Manchester, UK 30th October 1974 AMAZING/TRULY AMAZING SOUND (69;57) 1. Procession 2.
