September 1984 Venue : National Exhibitional Centre Arena C, Birmingham, UK Review from http://www.queenlive.ca It's only six shows into the tour and Freddie's voice is already starting to weaken a bit. He acknowledges this to himself while he fears the high notes at the beginning of It's A Hard Life. "If I don't get this first note, I'll kill myself!" He hits it, barely, and quickly switches to falsetto for the rest of the intro. After the medley of old songs, Freddie says, "It's nice to do some of the really early stuff, even though I've forgotten the words. I don't care, I'll make 'em up." He then does his rumour dispelling speech, saying, "If we wanted to break up, we'd let you know. But as long as you buggers buy the records we're gonna be here. Just to prove it, this is Staying Power." After Brian plays the guitar intro to Love Of My Life, the audience begin to sing without Freddie, and Brian stops playing. Freddie says to Brian, "They started it up before I even sang." He jokingly shouts at them, "How dare you sing without my command?" He then hands the microphone to a couple of people in the audience whom he thinks want to sing, but instead they shout out some gibberish for a brief moment. Freddie then takes the mic back and says, "Looks like we really attract a really intelligent bunch." He then asks, "Should we sing this fucker or not?" The audience indicate that they definitely want to, and Freddie says to Brian, "Why don't you give the introduction again?" Brian says, "No no no, we'll do this", and counts the audience into the first verse. Here's a classic Freddie introduction to what is probably their heaviest ever single release: "I think we'll try a song from an album called The Works right now. This is a Brian May tune and it's gonna be our next release. It's a light little number called..." and he suddenly shouts, "Hammer To Fall!" Tonight the song is called "Another one bites the balls, I mean dust" according to Freddie. "A song you can move your tits to." At the end of the concert, Freddie solidifies the casual atmosphere of the UK shows by saying, "Come back any time. You're welcome. " This was originally shared as "Real Dazzler", but people who have the bootleg confirmed that this is a better version.

pittrek Deity: 5812 posts	Posted: 20 Sep 08, 12:14 Date : 14. September 1984 Venue : Sportpalace, Milan, Italy Review from QueenLive.ca For more info check http://www.queenlive.ca/queen/84-09-14.htm This is the first of two nights in Milan. The last three pics could be from either night. Brian breaks a string at the end of Keep Yourself Alive, so Roger and Freddie do a brief improv until Brian gets a Red Special copy for Liar. The audience chant for Mustapha, and Freddie incorporates it into his usual vocal exchange with the audience before It's A Hard Life. Tonight is the last performance of Staying Power. It's dropped probably because it is so demanding for Freddie to sing, but this last version is a very good one! His voice is in pretty good shape after having played only one show in the last 5 days. About a minute of Tear It Up (unfortunately with a voice-over) was shown on Italian TV not long after the concert. The venue was far from full on both nights, making it an easy decision for Queen to skip out on Italy for the Magic tour in 1986. This recording comes from the bootleg "The Jewels" Download links : http://rapidshare.com/files/146259480/1984-09-14_Milano_Italy_d1_1.zip http://rapidshare.com/files/146259992/1984-09-14_Milano_Italy_d1_2.zip http://rapidshare.com/files/146260550/1984-09-14_Milano_Italy_d1_3.zip http://rapidshare.com/files/146261091/1984-09-14_Milano_Italy_d1_4.zip http://rapidshare.com/files/146261696/1984-09-14_Milano_Italy_d2_1.zip http://rapidshare.com/files/146265533/1984-09-14_Milano_Italy_d2_2.zip http://rapidshare.com/files/146266062/1984-09-14_Milano_Italy_d2_3.zip http://www.queenzone.com/queenzone/forumnew/forum_topic_view.aspx?Q=1109319

We are the champions/God save the queen Freddie doesn't sound as strong as he did a couple nights ago, but he still gives his all, particularly at the beginning of Keep Yourself Alive. This show was filmed from the audience as well, a bit closer to the stage than the Stuttgart video. Since the 8mm format was becoming less popular in the 80s, it's hard to know what kind of gear was used.

Yara Royalty: 1388 posts	Posted: 22 Sep 08, 01:39 Hi, Pittrek. Thanks a lot for the shares and the dedication. I can't download it right now - they have established here some download/upload limits - but as soon as I'm able to, I'll do it, I loved the selection and I admit that what I'm most curious about is the Birmingham gig. I hope you're doing fine. Take care! Would you like to share your personal opinion on which one of these you enjoy the most? :) I'd be glad to know. Thanks again! Yara
