Queen/Sheffield,UK 1974

What an amazing live album. Half a year after the shock of “LIVE AT THE RAINBOW ’74” becoming official, I never thought I would be able to meet such an audience album on the same tour. This work is a wonderful recording of the “November 5, 1974 Sheffield performance” from the audience seats. The main event of “LIVE AT THE RAINBOW ’74” was “November 19th and 20th”, so it was a live performance two weeks before that. The master of this work suddenly appeared on the internet in recent years. It is a sound source that has not been on traders’ lists for a long time. And even though it is. The sound is very, very, very great. The sound is not like a soundboard, but is more like an audience-seat recording that fully absorbs the reverberations of the venue, but the musical tones clearly convey the subtleties of the performance, and the rich reverberation creates the space of the venue and the breath of the live performance. I’ll give it to you. Even with the reverberation, the musical tones are beautiful, and there is no sound cracking, tape twisting, or deterioration over time. It is exactly the ideal vintage audience. The rich vintage sound that resonates is the same “SHEER HEART ATTACK TOUR” as “LIVE AT THE RAINBOW ’74”. It is a piece that allows you to enjoy that live from the perspective of the audience. …However, there is actually a slight (but important) difference from “LIVE AT THE RAINBOW ’74”. That is, “November 5th” when this work was recorded was the night before the release of the super masterpiece “SHEER HEART ATTACK”. The release date of “SHEER HEART ATTACK” is “November 8th”, and the audience gathered at this venue do not know the full story of “SHEER HEART ATTACK” and are bursting with anticipation. It’s the excitement of a countdown to hearing the new album in a few days. Furthermore, the lead single “Killer Queen/Flick of the Wrist” was released in October and is rapidly climbing the charts. There are similar situations in later tours, but there is a feeling of expectation that has more than established the brand by folding up a number of masterpieces. On the other hand, the feeling of anticipation surrounding this work is one of anticipation for the unknown, wondering, “How amazing are these guys!?” The anticipation exploded from the opening song “Now I’m Here” following “Procession”. The result is a round of applause that makes you want to listen to it, asking, “Haven’t you guys really heard this song before?” Then, they combined “Ogre Battle”, “Father To Son”, and “White Queen (As It Began)” from “QUEEN II” to the hot hits “Flick of the Wrist” and “Killer Queen.” The audience listens attentively to “In The Lap Of The Gods” in between, and sings loudly at the hit single, and the feeling that “QUEEN is truly amazing” overflows with concentration. . Now that the memory of “LIVE AT THE RAINBOW ’74” is still fresh, let’s stop writing about the details of the show. However, this work has a different audience enthusiasm than that of “LIVE AT THE RAINBOW ’74”, and there is a QUEEN who will appreciate the reaction. And the sound of this work is wonderful as the subtleties are clearly conveyed. “LIVE AT THE RAINBOW ’74” is truly amazing. That’s why I want to enjoy it from the audience’s perspective. This is the best piece that responds to that feeling. Moreover, the excitement of anticipation exceeds even that of “LIVE AT THE RAINBOW ’74”. The value of this historical excavation is certainly overwhelming. But more than that, it’s also a superb live album that will tug at your heartstrings just by listening to it. To all QUEEN fans, and to those who can’t forget their admiration for England back then. We will deliver this ideal audience album.
