Queen - Lazing On A Sunday Afternoon [Live In Tokyo 1976]

[sirArcticfox99]

I want the last riff as my ringtone!

[summi510]

I love how roger perks his lips when he plays the drums :3

[VictoriaaJadee]

@summi510 - Ditto :)

[summi510]

@VictoriaaJadee SOOOOO beautiful!!!

[rden94]

Were the harmonies overdubbed in the studios afterwards?

[Blaze1289]

@rden94 No, they're just that good.

[bregues]

@rden94 hey , they were only four on stage, lol !

[rden94]

@bregues I love how you and blaze are talking to me like I don't know anything about Queen. I'm a young American and the only way that I would even know this song is by being pretty deep into their catalog. It is possible that the harmony sounded this good, but its tough to believe. After all, some of their live harmonies were butchered once in a while. And later on they did have a back-up singer/guitarist/keyboardist, Sike Edney mainly. He can be seen at Wembley in '86. He really helped a lot

[bregues]

@rden94 sorry,I didn't mean to be sarcastic,but in the 70's, i think since 1974, they tried to emphasize as much as possible those tremendous back vocals by using pre-recorded tapes, i think this is the case on this one

[queenandi]

@bregues BS!! The only time Queen used pre-recorder tapes on stage were on the intro, the opera-part of Bohemian Rhapsody and with God Save The Queen. And on all those moments the band was off-stage. During Prophet's song live Freddie used the echoing technique Brian also used on his guitarsoli. But all was live. This song is also all live. In the a capella part you clearly hear 3 voices. Nothing pre-recorded here. If you listen to more liveconcerts there are times they fuck up.Cause it's live!!

[bregues]

@queenandi i never mentioned BR or GSTG, neither any brian's guitar performance, nor the 'a capella" freddie's voice soloing in PS

but , and that is a fact, they DID use pre recorded background voices for a few songs from their 3 earliest album: "now i'm here", "ogre battle", "in the lap of the gods", 'stone cold crazy" for instance,

they was an artistic choice in intend to get closer as much as possible to the studio versions from the albums

[bregues]

they stopped it , cos , obviously not satisfying enough , before the "night at the opera" tour in 1976, and then began what you called the 'fucked up" songs , so they decided to cancel some of them out of their show and keep others with shorter versions or with other arrangements

[raqa]

@bregues can you give me a link to the source of your info????....because its the first time i read something about pre-recorded voices in those songs.....get closer to the studio version of the songs???, Freddie himself said that Queen's concerts were a theatrical event, not a reproduction of the album

[bregues]

@raqa any link of my source info? DVD "queen at the rainbow" 1974 tour, open up your hears ,wide open specially on "now i'm here", ogre battle, and "in the lap of the gods", in the early 70 ' queen were not the only band to use tapes elements for backgrounds vocals, "the who" did so, and "the eagles" too.

it ain't no offense for one of the best rock band ever to tell what anyone can clearly hear on many tapes, recorded live between 1973 and 1975

[raqa]

@bregues i don't know why, but youtube never sent the email with your response to me....you're wrong, "Queen at the Rainbow" was a complete live show in terms of vocals but it was mixed and overdubbed in a studio.... that video no represent a real Queen show...... please listen some bootlegs and you're gonna realize that I'm right. Sorry for the late response.

[SuperGeorgeKaplan]

Best band on earth, darlings

[SuperGeorgeKaplan]

Best band on earth

[vladismael141088]

Freddie was a genius .... and even Roger, John and Bryian!!!!!

[nyto2]

OOOOOO MYY GODDDDD

FINALLY I HEAR IT LIVE!

ITS BEAUTIFUL!!!!!!!!!

There's just one song left to hear live, Seaside Rendezvous.. AND THEN IM READY TO DIE HAPPY :)

[sananda]

@nyto2 I soooo agree ! but seaside rendevous was never played live unfortunately...

but this one is really something special

[groenhvid]

WAAAAOOO I would have never imagined that I got to listen to this live!!! I quite understand all that girl screaming during the song!!!! Bloody genius!

[PicKPiT]

@AntichristUtubeStar yeah plenty, man

Just write the name of the song and you can find right away 3 vids with the studio version

[davidetero]

Forse è più bella che sul disco...

[troutmask1970]

wow

[dubbly1]

The Japanese girl that screams at 0:53 kinda halts the song a bit.They were in japan...I love nintendo.

[flaillomanz]

And I thought that was part of the song. (the pause, not the scream.)

[Lawen78]

Made my day (night) never heard it live before, good shit!

[oOoKhaledoOo]

did they stop because of that girl who screams at 0:53 ? lol ... freddie's voice is fantastic here

[mtsn]

Of course not, the song is like that.

[flaillomanz]

uh, no, the pause is in the original

welll, in the copy thAT i have on mah ipod :P

[annanulla]

do you know if the live version of seaside rendezvous exists?

[teo2712]

no it doesnt, they played every song from A Night At the Opera excluding Seaside Rendezvous and Good Company

[dimitrifabien]

@teo2712

About Good Company, the original song was strictly written and played with voices and guitars,

Supposed playing a Dixie Band, reproducing and simulated woods and brass instruments. Very amazing and beautifull. unfortunately, this is why they didn't do it on stage.

[cuc321]

@dimitrifabien There many good songs that would be great if they ever performed them, such as jesus, the fairy feller's master stroke, nevermore (which I think Freddie could do that perfectly on 74 gigs) seaside rendezvous, you and I, all dead all dead , etc etc....

[Priestking1000]

Noel Coward meets Led Zeppelin..classic English camp.

[jordenC16]

this song is wierd queen at their best.

[MaKaylaMayMercury1]

haha i totally agree

[windowsandglobes]

i love this.

they sound amazing here... <33 wish the video went along with the audio.

[feiscool]

One of his countless piano masterpieces

[buffaloidiot]

Wow, I never knew they performed this song live! =D

[droz1000]

but they need to go into 'Love with My Car' straight after! :)

Love that they would even do this live. FM awesome.

[BowieGlam]

Oh god, I agree.

The change from this into "I'm In Love With My Car" is quite possibly the greatest change in music history. Well, maybe not, but hey, its bloody fantastic.

[alamierdaelnicky]

perfecto, k gran voz!

[mooghead]

29th March 1976. The day I was born! Immense!

[Robotdrummerzzk]

Freddie sounds young here

[Civiprotection]

@rhyeguy1 no freddy was 29 or 30 it's 1976 and think in 1986 he turned 40 so he is either 29 or 30 either way he was really young

[TheBLOODLINEmusic]

Lol

[28if]

Wow , did you all get beat up a lot in school?

[classicrockrockz]

They should have kept it in the setlist. It's not like it's too long or anything :)

[tommyhills2]

never heard this song performed live, thanks for posting!

[azjeff1971]

Great Song!!!

[youngelvisnightowls]

"Strange" in that distinctly Queen manner. One of my favorites.

[giggy28]

the thing i really love about queen is every time they preform their songs it's always different :)

[torus18]

how do you got this record?

[CM3006]

nunca la habia escuchado en vivo. k grande!!!

[ahorayya]

me encanta esta bandaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa­aaaaaaaaa

[GinnyWeasley94]

anche a me!!!

[DMusta1ne]

Brian would love a inteligent harmonizer in those days, even without it he did an awesome solo. John as always, the perfect bass line. In 00:48-53 Brian, Fred and Roger made they vocal harmonies perfect. An in the falsetto part (00:42-48) Fred did a nice melody to replace the falseto in live.

As you guys I'd never heard this b4 and I'd no idea about the existence of this live performance of this song.

Awesome

[youvebeenthunderstru]

WOW indeed. I never knew they ever played this live.

[rock708]

WOW  I had never heard this song live!!!! magnifico!!!
