Queen Glasgow 1977 description

We close in on the end of the Races Tour! This is a recording of Queen's performance at the Apollo Theater in Glasgow. This recording is made up of two sources- a very good quality one for most of the show, and a slightly weaker (but still good) one for parts of "Keep Yourself Alive" and "Jailhouse Rock" and the full "God Save the Queen" taped outro. The combination is complete!

"Tie Your Mother Down" is excellent with Freddie hitting pretty much all the A4s, though his voice cracks on "put a STOP to all that", "Ogre Battle" sounds good, "White Queen" has Freddie rushing the phrasing in spots, but goes very good overall with nice embellishments, "Somebody to Love" is one of the best versions on the tour with Freddie acing the Bb4s in the first verse and singing the rest well (also getting the Bb4 in the breakdown section), "Killer Queen" sounds great with a playful vocal delivery from Freddie (who changes a line to "Perfume came naturally from Glasgow"), "Good-Old Fashioned Lover Boy" is very good, "The Millionaire Waltz" sounds great, "You're My Best Friend" has a bad crack near the end but is very good as a whole, and "Bring Back That Leroy Brown" sounds good.

"Death on Two Legs" has a bad crack on "overgrown SCHOOLboy", but goes good otherwise with Freddie getting the "All my money" Bb4, "Sweet Lady" is pretty good, with a neat start-stop ending, albeit with some intonation issues, "Brighton Rock" sounds good with a great guitar solo, "'39" sounds very good with Roger hitting the G#5, "You Take My Breath Away" is the typical lovely performance, "White Man" sounds good with Freddie going for a good amount of the A4s, though a few are flat, "The Prophet's Song" has some rough spots (the first vocal line is pretty flat) but goes decently overall with the typical scary improv, "Bohemian Rhapsody" sounds decent, with great audience participation, but with rough patches (Freddie falls flat on a Bb4 attempt in the second verse as well as the "Born AT all" Bb4, and Brian screws up some guitar parts in the rock section), "Keep Yourself Alive" has some intonation issues but mostly sounds great with Freddie acing the "BETTER every day" Bb4 and embellishing throughout, and Roger doing a killer drum solo, "Stone Cold Crazy" sounds great with a flying fast tempo, "In the Lap Of the Gods...Revisited" is a good conservative version with Freddie hitting a nice A4 in the second verse, though some of the harmonies aren't very clean, "Now I'm Here" sounds very good with Freddie going for both chorus A4s, though the second one is flat, and acing the "many a tear lives on in my EYE" A4, "Liar" is great with Freddie doing great A4 embellishments throughout and the band on top form, "I'm a Man" sounds great with Freddie hitting two B4s, and "Jailhouse Rock" ends the show with a great performance!

ENJOY!
