12. Liar (Queen-Live In Houston: 12/11/1977)

Alright you wonderful subscribers! This is the FINAL upload for the NOTW Tour! After this concert is uploaded, this channel will officially have all the NOTW Tour concerts uploaded on it! Although this gig is all over Youtube (mostly in video format), I am not one to ignore gigs (and people requested that I should upload it)! This is the popular Houston 1977 concert from Queen's NOTW Tour. According to various sources, this is one of Queen's most bootlegged concerts (Hammersmith 1975, Earls Court 1977, and Knebworth 1986, are also highly bootlegged). For this upload, I admit that I had to "borrow" the audio from Lemonysnick123's video upload of this concert: White Man had cuts all over the place on the audio source; so I did some patchwork. With that action, the entire Houston 1977 concert is COMPLETE! The audio is also superb--taken directly from the 2005 version of the video feed. Lemonysnick123 has the entire 2007 version posted on his channel (without the cuts in White Man), so make sure you view that. Now, onto the musical and vocal business...

Freddie's voice is in good shape overall: While it's not nearly as strong as it would be on select 1978 gigs (Stockholm, Copenhagen, Stafford/London), and the earlier 1977 gigs (Philly and the New York gigs), he still sings very effective interpretations of the songs. There are many versions of songs that are awesome--and are highlighted on the NOTW Debate: "The Millionaire Waltz," "My Melancholy Blues," "Liar," an excellent version of "White Man," and "Tie Your Mother Down" are some of the highlights for this gig! The rest of the band are in top shape as well--including a very creative guitar solo by Dr. Brian May (I can't wait for the "Brilliant as ever Dr. May" comments-lol)!

ENJOY!!!

Well vocally, there's a couple: Newcastle 1979 has Freddie pretty much nailing the song--Rainbow 1974 is awesome, and there's a couple 1973 versions where he hits all the notes!

It might just be that Houston has the advantage of having such fantastic quality, but is there really any other performance of Liar that can rival this?

I'm mainly thinking about 5:00 - 7:00 , only 80's versions of Now I'm Here and Dragon Attack could rival such instrumental bliss
