Queen | If You Can't Beat Them (Live Killers in Paris 1979)

[jpjw8843]

November 9, 1978 they played at Cobo Arena in Detroit. I was there. My first time seeing Queen. I am still hooked in 2011. 

[TAT2DJAX]

QUEEN r GODZ!!!!!

[jonnypkmn168]

incredibly underrated song- john deacon wrote some of the best

[oaiturriaga]

wow... yeah it's a great underated Queen song. John Deacon composed less songs for the band than the other 3 members, but all his songs are just great.

It's sad that he is retired from the business, but I guess he just deserves it. Anyway, it would be a delight to see him again playing with Roger and Brian...

[seamus2112ophelan]

...AND ON DAZZLING TIE AND BASS GUITAR...MR JOHN DEACON!!

[MrKaivalyapada]

Great song by the great Mr. DEACON!

[DiddlyDom]

How about that for timing @3;01? It dont get much better than that..what a band!!

[Canaveral305]

Has John ever written hard rock apart from this one?

[CRBjeep]

@Canaveral305 well I don't know if you would consider it hard rock,but he wrote another one bites the dust.

[Canaveral305]

@CRBjeep Definitively not hard rock, but yeah, I knew he wrote this one (actually I did before knowing much about Queen, only a bassist would write a song like that haha)

Oh well, John's song are awesome, rock or not.

[fbrjqueen]

@Canaveral305 Need your loving tonight :) check it out, great song!

[Canaveral305]

@fbrjqueen Oh my, I actualy didn't know that song, nice one! I like it, thanks!

[fbrjqueen]

@Canaveral305 no probs, you're welcome ;)

[rapsoddia1]

esa corbata de John ... que cacha!

[grentier]

One of the first rock songs that really made an impression on me when I was about ten, and it still knocks me off of my feet. Very good version, thanks for putting it up!

[xamethx]

Who could ever think that someone as shy and quiet as Deacon could write such awesome songs like this one?=] I was really surprised when i find out that he was the one who wrote this song... xD Cool stuff, John! And truly great performance of it. Thx for upload.=]

[Fizzerhit]

dont, run and hide.................even if it hurts you inside! Great lyric. Love this song, just a damn good rock song :-)

[DiddlyDom]

Just brilliant!! Are Queen the best band ever?!!

[dx1986bis]

Nice tie, John!

[RockNRollRanter]

4:05-4:25 = ooh, I just LOVE the way he flutters about the major scales so effortlessly like that! (Yeah, that's a perfectly normal statement...) What a talent. Actually, they all were talents...Awesome performance!

P.S. Nice tie, John.

[Spectroman10]

For me, Jazz tour and News of The World tour are the better ones.

[rekoonsghjkl]

@Spectroman10 the jazz tour was good just Freddie's voice was in really bad shape in most parts of the tour.
