Live At The Rainbow (Deluxe Edition) (Audio CD)

Customer Review

There is a lack not necessarily to live releases of Queen. Especially after the death of Frieddie Mercury were still some recordings on CD and DVD or even as song thrown as bonus material on new editions of the regular studio albums on the market. Now is "Queen Live at the Rainbow 74" came out. Is it worth it? Yes, resounding yes! This double CD (Deluxe Edition) combines two concerts the early phase of the band, which makes it rip here tidy. Therefore much more raw and edgier than in the 80's - Queen comes here - despite Wallender Stage costumes.

The recordings come from the time when the Queen stood before the big break. The first concert was recorded in March 1974 London Rainbow Theatre. At that time, especially of material was "Queen II" game, from which it later only managed "Seven Seas Of Rhye" on the set lists of tours or on the greatest-hits albums. Relatively unknown, however, are "Ogre Battle", "White Queen" or "The Fairy Feller's Master-Stroke". But there are great songs, in which a lot of energy and emotion stuck - and get very good effect on this live recording. Queen who then produced so many hits that pearls are like this probably just forgotten. That they sometimes live hears in the context of a concert, already worth the purchase of this CD.

At the time of the second concert (november 1974), the group had already gained international notoriety - by the third album "Sheer Heart Attack", which came up among others with "Killer Queen" and "Now I'm Here". These two classics you can experience at an early live version, as "In The Lap Of Gods" and pieces of the two previous albums (including the brilliant "The March Of The Black Queen" by Queen II, which at the March concert not to hear is).

The sound was as much refreshed that he is today Höransprüchen justice. He is typical opulent queen - bearing in mind: He was then "only" four people created, it was "only" from the votes, a lead guitar, a bass and piano. "Nobody Played the Synthesizer" as it is on all early studio albums in the booklet. This shows once again how exceptional quality had this band, in the studio as on stage.

Conclusion: Buy, listening, rock, revel.
