Queen - Great King Rat (LIVE) - COMPLETE (May 1st, 1975)

[Baugin1]

OMG! An "Eargasm" to me...Never heard this song live before.

[rediscoverySX]

QUEEN GOES METAL!!!!!

[mathmss]

Very soon you gonna be the bible LOL

This song live represents exactly the masterpiece that Queen 1 is, it's a shame that the album version isn't that clear and heavy as this live rendition.

[MrRenealexis]

Too bad these concerts were recorded from the middle of the crowd and not from the sound board (a very few actually were) so to clean and improve sound would be impossible.

[marseu]

Great king Rat Live???....Perfect!!

[newc1531]

Reminds me of Lynard Skynard on the Old Grey Whistle Test (Free bird outtro)

[newc1531]

This is great. Much better than the version at the BBC!!

[queenlivesforever1]

This song just rocks!! Amazing!! Queen is truly a phenomenal band! A band all their own! Once you hear them , you are hooked! And once you hear Freddie's absolute amazing voice and see him perform onstage, you are in complete awe! Freddie had the most amazing voice and he was truly the best front man to ever be! He could captivate any audience! A true loss to this world when we lost Freddie! Oh how I miss him! ILY Freddie! R.I.P. friend. Forever missed and forever loved!! ♥♥

[celestegrl]

classic Queen at its greatest!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[Typhoon792]

That pic at 4:42 is awesome! I want it, lol.

[TheCollierylad]

I was so blessed to see them at Newcastle city hall 74 and 75, this is my favourite Queen song ever

[rekoonsghjkl]

They should have played it more live.

[exc123]

WOW Great, thanks so much for posting this...

[jorgeiramain]

queen rocks! like always...kick ass song

[GreatQueenFan]

1.36 brian was really hot...

[tdrider2008]

i hate how there are no/very few released recordings of Queen concerts in their 70's b4 Freddie voice got a little weakened and while they still played great king rat live

[OsCkArR1]

great king rat the best theme of their first album, with the night comes down, and doing all right

[hippymoonchild]

I doubt Brian & Roger will read this, but this is one concert that deserves an official release. I'd love to own a copy of this concert, as it seems the only way to own many of these 70's concerts is to obtain bootlegs. Please Brian & Roger lets have official releases of concerts such as this one, Rainbow'74, Hammersmith 24/12/75, Earls Court/Houston '77, Hyde Park 76.

[manuel86mi]

@hippymoonchild You're right buddy! This is, in my opinion, the best tour and the best concert ever! This DESERVES an official release for sure, but I have my doubts!

A great news is that Rog & Bri are working on 1975 Christmas Eve concert for an official release!!! Rog got nostalgia working on it, he said months ago :)

[hippymoonchild]

@manuel86mi Great news, about Hammersmith '75, let's hope Rog & Bri start to feel more nostalic about the 70's period. I must admit it was the 80's that got me into Queen, as a 12/13 year old Radio GaGa, I Want To Break Free & Live Aid, but Rog & Bri have concentrated on (re)issuing the 80's concerts. I was 15 in '86 and my parents wouldn't let me go to Wembley or Knebworth to see Queen cry, cry,cry.

[manuel86mi]

@hippymoonchild My God!! What a pity! Well, I'm just 24. I started to listen to Queen when I was 13 with Greatest Hits II, then I, and then Innuendo :) ehehe!

[manuel86mi]

@hippymoonchild Brian says: I don’t want to say exactly how we’re going to do it, but it involves somewhere between 150 and 200 songs. We just switched our record company for the first time in over 30 years. Now we want to make sure our complete body of work is avalaible in an accessible way. We plan some fun things for the anniversary, but it’s all secret at the moment.

[manuel86mi]

@hippymoonchild ...There will be no tour, since we have a bit of a singer-problem – we don’t have one! We had a good relationship with Paul Rodgers, but there will be no more gigs with him.

[manuel86mi]

@carooomargheee Queen have always said that every their concert was recorded but I have my doubts to think videos of this concert really exist! :)

[Typhoon792]

@manuel86mi Wait, really? And so little leaks? Where did you hear that? Why wouldn't they release more then, it doesn't make sense..

[WallAlfyan]

3:03, "very soon you're gonna be-in the Bible"? lol

[galileufigaro]

Queen no estado Puro! Sem espinhas!

[cuc321]

This concert would be great in video

[0xJUDASx0]

wow

[deep958]

classic metal

[flairfan101]

I wonder if I could get an MP3 of the show or a good DVD copy? thanks

[flairfan101]

could I get this show?

[flairfan101]

Greatest pure rock band EVER! EVER!! EVER!!!

[teo2712]

This is Queen at Budokan 1975, their best concert EVER

[fabhomer]

my favorite queen song ; specially the guitar solo at 4:36; the album version of the solo is orgasmic!!! the 70's is queen best period. songwise and freddie's look wise( or at least my favorite)

[dennisqueen81]

WUOWOWOWOW!!!!!! Great,thank you!.

[ImKevin15]

What lots of people don't know is that Queen actually is metal too. How dare some call this a popband? Like, what the fuck.

[manuel86mi]

Eheh yes I agree with you, althought songs like Dancer or Radio Ga Ga are not properly rock :)

Queen rule forever!

[jorgeiramain]

metal but with more soul and melody...like a queen style

[SeagullsDiarrhea]

(((METAL)))

[themanunseen]

The tracklist of the whole concert is orgasmic.....

[ilovecoskillas]

great!! absolutely great!!! it just can´t get any better than this...

[MassiveQueenFan]

amazing!!

[shaggy592]

wow just wow

[Lawen78]

Ah thank you very much, haven't heard this full piece live before. Do anyone happen to have any audio from Queen II tour? Would very much like to hear doing all right live from that era.

[manuel86mi]

I have this whole concert in mp3. It's from Sheer Heart Attack tour :-)

[Lawen78]

Can you upload doin' all right : - )? or why not the whole tracklist

[manuel86mi]

Added ;-)

[flairfan101]

@manuel86mi could I get a copy?

[manuel86mi]

@flairfan101 What about? The song or the whole concert? :)

[petra15478]

Absolutely f***n FAB!!!

[Peneck]

muy weno!

[Olliemets]

Very Cool- These guys were metal gods in the beginning. Awsome. This was always my favorite album of theirs.

[depreciousMODE]

bloody awesome!!

[Terencehill]

this is pure epic

[androgineharlequin]

oh por Dios , Gracias por darnos esto en Vivo!!!

[gdsc4]

sí gracias!!! increible!!!!

[mkj0914]

Manuel86mi - This is great. you post more, and/or can I buy a copy of the entire concert from you.

[manuel86mi]

Perhaps soon I'll post other songs from it. Let me know your favourite ones.

[Reissdorf77]

This is GREAT!!!!!

[thebiggestqueenfan]

can you upload the audio of this whole concert?

[harrybrandy]

epic song

great version

[manuel86mi]

hi guys, my dream'd be having this concert released from Queen Productions complete and with fantastic audio, but I think it remains a dream...

[NightmareGanon]

Wait, they made it even better than the album ? Just incredible.

[ben5leto]

my friend has never seen freddie in his early days with long hair and no mustache.

so i showed him this video and he saw freddie and he was suprised of how different he looked.

[QUEENSTINA]

He was GORGEOUS when he was younger!

[ben5leto]

i know huh

[NightmareGanon]

Wait, you mean he's never seen the Bohemian Rhapsody video?

[ben5leto]

no he didn't he only saw freddie with short hair and mustache the whole time but i already showed him the video. he loved it

[kingb212212]

freddie is the best

[elcritico21]

Nunca habia escuchado esta canción en vivo, ¡¡¡ Grande QUEEN !!!

[mercury2mx]

yo tampoco la habia escuchado, excelente,

[jomparot]

Oh God , I MIss MY life ! As John Cleese said ; Give me another !

[oien106]

Mais c'est trop puissant QUEEN!!

[Eduranzoni]

4:33 The beginning of powerful solo

5:31 The Top, the climax!

6:06 The devastating end.

Ladies & gentlemen; The inimitable Brian May.

[CHRISFREEMAY]

You're right!!

[AmsterdamAction]

Best band ever! Hearing this, I wonder why did I ever sell my Queen bootleg collection?????

[louisejbjb]

There is no way that I can stay in a bad mood when listening to Great King Rat.

Thanks Freddie for this precious jewel.

[dserur1983]

Dedicated to the stupid magazine (actually the people who voted) that put Freddie Mercury at number 18 in the list of 100 greatest singers of all the time.

[Litterio2009]

It has nothing to do with it. Listen to the lyrics properly..

[lovegunII]

hahaha, he means they should had put him in first place!! he is ironic. Of course is not dedicaded to the magazine!

Great song, been listenting to it since 1978!!!

[sirboredboy101]

hes 17 isnt he?

[GooGajoob224]

I found this whole grand concert online a few years ago{ in audio form of course} though i've seemed to have lost it. By any chance, would you mind telling were you found this one in particular? Please let me know if you have the concert in whole, that's probably one of quen's best live early performance.

[classicrockrockz]

This is Live in Osaka, Japan 1975, if that helps

[manuel86mi]

No, this is in Tokyo. Last concert of SHA tour.

In 1975 Queen never had a concert in Osaka, neither in SHA tour nor in ANATO tour.

[classicrockrockz]

I was thinking of the 76 concert by accident. I didn't think that sounded right. I've got Hangman from this concert uploaded here on youtube...

[sgrimbol]

Che capolavoro!!

[coltino1911]

Grandi i Primi Queen! Sono davvero fenomenali!

[napaccadenoie]

WOUKDN'T YOU LIKE TO KNOW!!!!!!!!!!!

Grandi!

[manuel86mi]

Thanks guys for all your comments!! They're very welcome! ;-)

[Pukrysa]

Very very rare,thanks!

[louisejbjb]

tI have not work on any song by queen and written by either Brian, John or Roger that I had to learn to like. This music is not only entertaining. moving in that I cannot sit still when I turn on favorite guys. And of course Freddie put magic within his composition

[rediscoverySX]

Great, man. People was excited when Freddie introduced the song. When you become a true fan of Queen and you learn to love songs like this, that nobody on the "outside world" knows, it´s really great when you hear people reactingt like that on the show.

One of the first heavy metal songs of all time. One of the best of Queen on the 70´s

[sebagiovinco92]

now listen all you people...

put put the good and keep the bad

FREDDIE LEGENDS

[exekuter666]

good song....

[alanr5682]

according to the queen concert file, japanese tv filmed this concert in full. i hope it turns up one day and released. wonderful!!!

[mamatiazi]

Oh God!!! I love this song!!! I love this band!!! Wonderfull!!!!!

[FrankOlgaILoveU]

amazing in live :)

thank you !

[franstrano82]

raro veramente

bravi

[Sportymcdouglas]

This song is so good, Their first two albums and Night at the Opera contain some of the greatest rock songs ever written in my opinion.

[erwue2]

jajajajaj .. DIOS BENDIGA youtube ... WHEN this was and where??? is the one that they play in vienna??

[exc123]

Much clearer than my may 1st 1975 Budokan version, thanks

[olalexandre]

Fantastic !!!

[elcritico21]

excelente aporte, ya la habia oido hacia muchisisisimo tiempo, y que bien oir una joya como esta.

[8leen8]

Thanks manuel86mi!!!!

[manuel86mi]

[Domplum]

[Domplum]

definetly an underrated song and album from queen

[classicrockrockz]

Was this a remastered bootleg?

[rock708]

FANTASTIC DRUMS!!!!!!!!

[ytsename]

Show me!

[crowman1979]

Oh yeah! A 7+ minute version. Music is always better when it's unedited and uncensored.

[strikedn]

Dedicated to all the Queen fanboys who think Queen is only Radio Gaga and I Want to Break Free...get this! Sheer heavy metal heaven! Queen Rocks!

[Eduranzoni]

Perfect comment!

[Eduranzoni]

I totally agree with "strikedn"

[brightonrock74]

Ditto to that! Great comment.

[Eduranzoni]

Brian; Guitar God!

[FRocker93]

Great!!! I'm was finding some live version of this song. Thank you!!

[Freddiestillalive]

[trueminds2007]

FREDDIE.. VOCAL GOD!

[9540525]

This is from the Tokyo 1975 concert. The last concert from that tour.

Did i send this song to you?? :) i have the whole this concert...it is more that 2 hours. :)

[manuel86mi]

Yes I know!

You did not send me anything at all :)

I own the original bootleg "Young Nobles of Rock"! ;-)

[TiranossauroBataar]

Do you have a video of this song?

[TiranossauroBataar]

Do you have the video of this song?

I'd really love to see Freddie Mercury and Brian May in this song?

Thank you

[manuel86mi]

Unfortunately not! I do not think a video recording of this concert exists :)

The audio recording comes from a very RARE TKD chrome audio tape recorded by a fan that night!

[manuel86mi]

PS *TDK tape, I made a type error!

[LuisII2]

god bless tdk crome

[dragonsagoth666]

Really!
