Queen/Switzerland 1986

Is it because the official release of the Rainbow 74 video and the tour with Queen + Adam Lambert are a hot topic? Recently, newly discovered sound sources have been appearing here and there among Queen’s underground sound sources. The recording introduced here is one of them. Complete high-quality audience recording of the 11th Magic Tour performance in Zurich, Switzerland on July 2nd! ! There is a cut at the 48th second of Hello Mary Lou as in the past recordings, but I would like to use the word “complete recording” here! This day’s show, which until now was said to only exist until Hammer To Fall, is now available with the same source from Crazy Little Thing Called Love to God Save The Queen! Appears! ! That time is 26 minutes. Until now, it has been said that the second half does not exist because it was recorded on a 74-minute tape, but perhaps the tape dubbed from there was 74 minutes long…Congratulations, the complete version of the 101-minute take is now available. And! The sound quality is also good! You can listen to the end with a much better and stable sound than the sound source of the same performance that has been on the market so far. Well, as expected, it’s master quality! It is originally a monaural recording, and among the high-quality Magic Tour, the sound quality is “average +” even though it has been upgraded. Anyway, it’s great that the sound hasn’t deteriorated. Perhaps because of the appropriate distance, the sound doesn’t crack, and the stability of this texture is probably why it’s so easy to listen to. The musical tones and cheers are very beautiful and clear. The tone of Freddie’s voice is not good (A Kind Of Magic and a lot of fakes), so it’s rare that In The Lap Of The Gods…Revisited and Who Wants To Live Forever are not played. Therefore, after Freddie’s voice saying “OK Here we go!”, Seven Seas Of Rhye of this day, which starts sharply with a light piano prelude, is very fresh. Although the high range is harsh, the powerful singing in the mid range is at full throttle, making it a perfect listen. In particular, Impromptu’s scat singing, which reminds me of the Works Tour on this day, is the best thing to listen to. Freddy is also in high spirits during the speed part in the second half! It’s worth getting this album just to listen to this 2 minute Freddy song. There is no problem with the performance or sound quality in the latter 25 minutes of the first appearance. There is a momentary tape flip at 5:22 of Radio Ga Ga, but it is not a serious loss. The two minutes between songs of Crazy Little Thing Called Love ~ Radio Ga Ga are recorded without cuts, so you can hear the voices and chorus of the audience clamoring for an encore in real sound, which is irresistible as a document. The song gaps between Radio Ga Ga and We Will Rock You are long, so there is a cut about 10 seconds after the end of the song (probably due to a tape change), but from then on, the song gaps of more than 2 minutes are realistically captured. Around Friends Will Be Friends, Freddie’s throat seems to have recovered to a certain extent, and he sings with excellent control of the high frequencies. The singing in this part is also a big highlight of the second half. The first complete edition of Zurich 1986, a must-listen and must-have for fans.
