22. Radio Ga Ga (Queen-Live In Barcelona: 8/1/1986)

After getting some requests, I have finally decided on one of the BEST Magic Tour gigs overall (early, mid, and late legs): Barcelona 1986! This was Queen's first stop in Spain on the Magic Tour, and this is generally considered the best Spanish show on the tour: Freddie sounds unbelievably strong and SO FUCKING POWERFUL on all the songs (In The Lap Of The Gods...Revisited, Tear It Up, I Want To Break Free, Bohemian Rhapsody, Friends Will Be Friends, and We Are The Champions, are prime examples of his power). Honestly, I haven't heard him sound THIS powerful since the Stuttgart 1984 gig (I'm including the early Magic gigs as well)! Freddie is like a 5'9 Persian dragon on this gig--roaring out those high notes!

The rest of the band are on fire tonight, and Brian plays riffs from "Chinese Torture" for the first time (he will do this for the rest of the gigs). This gig is in great quality, and is almost complete (there's a few cuts).

ENJOY!!!
