Comments: |
My first conclusion when I saw this 2cd promoted on internet to be
released, was that it's the Tokyo May 11th. 1985 concert, since the
cover say's 'radio broadcast'. When I saw the track list, I know
it's the Osaka May 15th. concert. Queen's last concert with Freddie
in Japan ever. The recording is a audience recording. Probably
the best audience recording you can get actually. But, it's not
from a radio broadcast. This is a pure bootleg audience recording.
So info on cover being from a radio broadcast is fake information.
Even this is a bootleg release, you might find it for sale in
regular mail order music shops. This concert is well known on
bootlegs (vinyl & cd's), but if you want a nice recording from 1985,
this might be a good solution. The Elton John cover of 'Saturday
Night's...' is a improvisation version. Freddie only sings the title
several times.
I don't have this 2cd, so I actually don't
know the quality of the production. Price on internet in October
2020 (pre-order) is € 10.99
