Queen/Scotland,UK 12.1.1979

“CRAZY TOUR” is also known as the time when Freddie reached his peak. A valuable live album that conveys the scene is now available. This work was recorded at “Glasgow performance on December 1, 1979”. This is a vintage audience recording. “CRAZY TOUR”, which does not have an album title, may not be very famous in general, but it is a very important tour for collectors. Freddie’s voice changed over time, but the era of his strongest vocalization began on “CRAZY TOUR.” (Of course, each performance has its ups and downs, so it is impossible to make a definitive statement) The period from this tour to the European leg of the “HOT SPACE TOUR” (June 1982) is said to be his “peak period as a vocalist.” Masu. In particular, the “CRAZY TOUR” that opened the show was a series of tireless and explosive shows since it was a short-term intensive tour. It continues to be viewed passionately by collectors around the world as “the peak of the peak.” First of all, let’s look back at where such a climax tour was and the progress since the release of “JAZZ”. 1978 “JAZZ TOUR” October 28th – December 20th: North America (35 performances) 1979 January 17th – March 1st: Europe (28 performances) April 13th – May 6th : Japan (15 performances)《Production of “THE GAME” started in June》・August 18th: Appearance at SAARBRUCKEN OPEN AIR《October 5th: Single “Crazy Little Thing Called Love” released》“CRAZY TOUR”・November 22nd Sunday – December 26th: UK (20 performances) ←★Here★ This is the outline of “JAZZ TOUR” and “CRAZY TOUR”. “JAZZ TOUR” ended with a performance in Japan in the spring of 1979, but in fact there was no performance in their home country of England. After that, they started production on “THE GAME”, and along with the release of the lead single “Crazy Little Thing Called Love”, they embarked on a long-awaited UK tour. That was “CRAZY TOUR”. And, the Glasgow performance of this work was the 6th concert. This work recorded at such a show is also the oldest record on “CRAZY TOUR”, and it is a slightly maniac vintage audience. To be honest, it’s a little far away, and although it doesn’t reach the level of a roar, the sound is rough. It cannot be described as “excellent”, and it is the type that requires some familiarity with the audience in order to enjoy it. However, if you are used to it, there is no problem. Even though it’s stiff, you won’t have to search for a performance in the noise, and your ears won’t be irritated by the loud noise. It is also a live album where you can clearly see Freddie’s climax that cuts through the space and reaches it. In fact, the key to this work is the live performance itself rather than the sound. Speaking of “CRAZY TOUR”, the professional shot DVD “HAMMERSMITH ODEON 1979” reigns at the top, so let’s organize the sets while comparing them. SHEER HEART ATTACK (2 songs)・Killer Queen／Now I’m Here A NIGHT AT THE OPERA (4 songs)・Death On Two Legs／I’m In Love With My Car／You’re My Best Friend／Bohemian Rhapsody ( ★) A DAY AT THE RACES (2 songs) ・Somebody To Love／Tie Your Mother Down NEWS OF THE WORLD (6 songs) ・We Will Rock You (fast)／Get Down Make Love／Spread Your Wings (★)／Sheer Heart Attack／We Will Rock You／We Are The Champions JAZZ (3 songs)・Let Me Entertain You／Mustapha (★)／Don’t Stop Me Now THE GAME (2 songs)・Save Me／Crazy Little Thing Called Love * Note: Songs marked with “★” are not available on the DVD “HAMMERSMITH ODEON 1979”. …and it looks like this. The basics are in accordance with “JAZZ TOUR”, but the new songs “Save Me” and “Crazy Little Thing Called Love” from “THE GAME”, as well as “Mustapha”, are played well as well as touching. And Freddie’s voice singing such a set! This is already outrageous. The growth, tension, momentum, and power are amazing, and it’s in perfect condition. Speaking of QUEEN’s once-in-a-generation masterpiece, it is said to be “LIVE AID”, but it is a miracle because it is a short set. This work has that tension…no, it goes through the full show with even more vocalization. In fact, all the remaining shows on “CRAZY TOUR” are in great condition and there are no bad days. It is a live album where you can fully experience the ferocious show of such the strongest tour. Furthermore, there will be specials only for this day within the “CRAZY TOUR”. It’s “I’m In Love With My Car.” It is the biggest highlight that Roger, who knows, takes the lead vocal, but in fact, Roger on this day forgets the lyrics. At the beginning, I sang “With the pistons a pumpin, and the hubcaps so all gleam” as “When my holding your wheel…” and my mind went blank. He sings on behalf of Freddy, who can’t stand Roger, who is completely upset. After that, Roger also returns with Freddie’s rescue ship, but this work is also a valuable live album where you can listen to “I’m In Love With My Car” sung by Freddie (albeit only in part). QUEEN talks about Freddie’s ups and downs with each recording, but the pinnacle was definitely “CRAZY TOUR”. You can witness the scene where a rare genius vocalist reached his peak with real sound. That’s all there is to it. A live recording of “CRAZY TOUR” where each track is a valuable and treasured treasure. Please take this opportunity to enjoy it.
