It´s been 19 years since Freddie died today :-( Thanks so much not only for the evergreens, but also for sublime live performances like this one. Play your songs in heaven, Fred!
The finest live performance I know., apart from Queen at Live Aid, of course...
The Bowl is in Milton Keynes, UK - not in Montreal! But buy the DVD if you can get it. The greatest Queen concert I know, and believe me, I know lots of them or at least all those that were recorded (with Freddie, not today´s crap). Listen to Roger and Freddie singing and complementing each other... pure genius! Unfortunately I´m too young to have seen them play live.
They sound so good and this is 1982, about 27 years ago. Today the bands use every technical equipments and never sound so good... you must know. Queen used a synthesizer the first time 2 years before on "The Game"-Album.
I find John deacon to be underated bass player ,but i know he so good ,i remember being inspired to pick the bass guitar because of his bass movements

i agree harrisfan010. this version pisses all over the album version. i reckon rogers vocals are much stronger and in a better style than on the album and it generally rocks more.
Production changes everything. Hot Space had a very 'hi-tech' production that doesn't fit Queen's music at all. But the stage was their real place - I LOVE Queen live, especially the early tours.
The European crowds reacted differently to Queen than the US and Canadian crowds. The crowd on the new mix of Queen Rock Montreal (especially the 20CD version) was more alive than the original mix Queen's 80s engineer Mack had to do for Saul Swimmer when Queen Rock Montreal came out as We Will Rock You. I thank the good Lord that Brian May and Roger Taylor re-acquired the rights to Montreal 1981 and with a wave of magic wand removed the overdubs and revealed a more energetic crowd.
I always preffred the way the hot space songs sounded live, alot more rock, gritty and energetic, on the album they are ok but stale compared to how good they performt he songs live
it was playing him up for the first half of the concert the pickups kept slipping back to their default phase settings so he was on the backup for awhile
On an interview Freddie says they're always tryin new stuff, and it's important to keep with the times I guess. They were voted best band of the 80's. Apparently their weakest album was Hot Space, which was released around the time of this tour.
guys this is second rate queen...was at this gig at the bowl..saw them also at earls court in 77..remember the earls court gig being much better songs...the first three albums.. had them all by 1975...were great.. among the best rock albums of there day up there with sabbath and zep ect much better when they were a kick ass rock band... white queen/prophet song..liar.ect compare those great songs to any of th later stuff..
I wouldn`t go that far. While my fav album is Queen II I can enjoy the later stuff too. You have to allow a band to evolve. If they don`t it`s gets very boring. There are bands, and I won`t name them here, that lack creativity in a way that when you heard one song, it`s like you have heard them all.
I absolutely love their Hot Space material played live. Because Brian never used his Red Special, it just didnt have that Queen sound to that album, but when played live, it brings about it more power and more of a Queen sound to it
