Editorial Reviews

Review

During 20 years as one of the world's best loved rock bands, Queen played a total of 704 concerts throughout the world. Their earliest documented concerts were at colleges in the Home Counties in 1970; their final show was at Knebworth Park on August 9, 1986. And then there was the Freddie Mercury Memorial Concert at Wembley Stadium. Queen Live takes the reader to every one of these concerts. Queen Live includes a full set list and report on virtually every show, the development of Queen's career traced over 15 years as a touring band, Queen's BBC sessions, Queen memorabilia (tickets, programs, passes, etc. ), song lists including a complete list of cover versions adopted by Queen (including a full live bootleg listing), what Queen did and didn't play -- and why, and a complete discography of live singles, LPs, CDs, books and rare live sleeves. Queen Live is a "must have" addition to any Queen fan's collection. -- Midwest Book Review

5.0 out of 5 stars GREAT COLLECTION FILE ADDITION, July 2, 1998

By A Customer

This review is from: Concert Documentary (Paperback)

This gives the band road history that can not be found in a regular QUEEN book.The road lacations and the song lists make the record of these great events come out for people who would not have gone to EVERY concert (AND THAT'S MOST OF US).The wonderful photos add to the experience.A VERY GOOD ADD- ON TO ANY QUEEN BOOK COLLECTION.
