Today, November 18th, 1975 - Queen Story!

Bristol, UK, Colston Hall (two night)

'A Night At The Opera Tour'

This article chronicles the second show in Bristol.

🔸Sounds, November 29, 1975

Queen triumphant

Report by Jonh Ingham, pictures by Kate Simon

QUEEN ARE the type of group that make a man want to abandon rock writing. They pose questions and never provide answers. They exist in their own space-time continuum, visible and audible but keeping their secrets to themselves.

On the surface they couldn't be a nicer bunch of people, but they carry English reticence to an epitome. It isn't, as Geoff Barton said two weeks ago, that they're boring, it's just that they're reserved. Or in writer parlance, they don't automatically provide colourful copy. All my instincts as a writer tell me that there is a great story in that band, but after two nights with them I'm hardly any the wiser.

Skin tight

That their insularity has a lot to do with them being one of the most amazing heavy-metal and/or rock bands in Britain - with all the signs that they'll end up monsters on the order of Zep - is fairly obvious, but just how much bearing it has on the matter is hard to say. The enigmas they might pose mightn't even have answers.

Is there any logical reason why they present an image and persona straight out of the Beatles school of interlocking chemistry?

John is reserved, almost nonchalant on stage, as if it's all in a small, personal joke. When asked how he saw himself within the framework of the band he replied, with a small smile, "I'm the bassist".

Roger is his opposite, the cheeky sidekick in a Clint Eastwood movie, and attracting a lot of cheesecake attention in America and Japan.

Freddie is an original - one of the most dynamic singers to tread the boards in quite a few years. His attraction is obvious.

Brian is perhaps the biggest enigma of all. What is this seemingly frail, gaunt astronomer doing on that stage, striding purposefully and blasting diamond-hard rock? They're all equally strong personalities - like the Beatles there's no one major focal point. Ask four fans who their dream Queen is and you'll get four different answers.

Queen have been busy lads these past few months. Having disassociated themselves from their former management and joined with John Reid, the fourth album was seen to. Reid decided that a tight schedule wouldn't cause them undue harm, and figured on two months to record before embarking on this current tour.

Only Queen are driven to better each previous album - which at this stage of the game is obviously producing some excellent results - and 'A Night At The Opera' turned into a saga - culminating in 36-hour mixing sessions in an effort to allow at least a few days for rehearsal. In the end they managed three and a half days at Elstree with four hours off to videotape the promotional film for 'Bohemian Rhapsody'.

Their first few dates had not been without errors and the quartet were still not feeling totally comfortable their second night in Bristol, fourth night of the tour. You'd never know it, though.

Like all other aspects of the group, the stage is sophisticated. A black scrim provides a backdrop bounded by a proscenium of lights both front and rear. At each side the p.a. rises like a mutant marriage of Mammon and Robby the Robot. Amp power is readily evident but the most extraordinary is Brian May's subtle set up: nine Vox boxes stepping back in rows of three. The only packing crate visible is holding a tray of drinks, and you may rest assured that no roadie will rush, crawl or lurk across the stage while the show is in progress unless it's to rescue Freddie's mike from the clawing crowd.

As the auditorium darkens the sound of an orchestra tuning up is heard over the p.a. The conductor taps his baton on the music stand and a slightly effete voice welcomes the audience to A Night At The Opera. The Gilbert & Sullivan portion of 'Bohemian Rhapsody' follows, a brief glimpse of Freddie is allowed, and then in a blast of flares and white smoke the blitzkrieg begins.

Roger is barely visible behind his kit, just his eyes and tousled locks. John is wearing a white suit and playing the-man-who-must-stand-still-or-it-will-all-blow-away. Brian is slightly medieval in his green and white Zandra Rhodes top, while Freddie is...

Around his ankles his satin white pants flare like wings - fleet footed Hermes. Everything north of the knee is skin tight - tighter than skin tight - with a zip-up front open to AA rating. But further south, definitely in X territory, lurks a bulge not unlike the Sunday Telegraph.

There have been sex objects and sex bombs, superstar potency and the arrogant presentation of this all-important area, but never has a man's weaponry been so flagrantly showcased. Fred could jump up on the drum stand and shake his cute arse, leap about and perform all manner of amazing acrobatics, but there it was, this rope in repose, barely leashed tumescence, the Queen's sceptre. Oh to be that hot costume, writhing across the mighty Fred!

Phallic

Freddie is not pretty in the conventional sense of the word; like Mick Jagger of '64, he is his own convention. Also like the Jagger of the time, his stage persona and action is unlike anything else. Although it borrows - like most of the group's plagiarisms - slightly from Zeppelin, in tandem with Freddie's supreme assurance and belief in himself - he always refers to himself as a star - it explodes into something that is a constant delight to watch.

He reacts to his audience almost like an over-emotional actress - Gloria Swanson, say, or perhaps Holly Woodlawn playing Bette Davis. At the climax of the second night in Bristol he paused at the top of the drum stand, looked back over the crowd and with complete, heartfelt emotion placed his delicate fingers to lips and blew a kiss. Any person who can consume themselves so completely in such a clichéd showbiz contrivance deserves to be called a star.

Freddie's real talent, though, is with his mike stand. No Rod Stewart mike stand callisthenics here, just a shortee stick that doubles as a cock, machine gun, ambiguous phallic symbol, and for a fleeting moment an imaginary guitar. He has a neat trick of standing quite still in particularly frantic moments and holding the stand vertically from his crotch up, draw a fragile finger along its length, ever closer to the taunting eyes that survey his audience.

Their show contains lots of bombs and smoke, lots of lights, lots of noise. They fulfil the function of supremely good heavy metal - i.e. you don't get a second to think about what's going on. When they do let up for a few minutes, it's only so you can focus in on the bright blue electric charge crackling between your ears.

Bulldozer

Dominating the sound is Roger's drumming, a bulldozer echo that bounces like an elastic membrane, meshing with your solar plexus so that your body pulses in synch with the thunder. Tuned into that, everything else is just supremely nice icing.

For three days rehearsal, after eight months off the road Bristol was extremely impressive. In speculative mood I quizzed people on how long they thought it would take to headline Madison Square Garden. I was thought a radical at a year and a half. John Reid smilingly assured me it would take a year.

That Queen should end up with John Reid is an entirely logical proceeding. Everything about Queen demands that the world eventually kowtows at their feet in complete acquiescence - so big that bodyguards have to accompany them at every step. Well, no - they found that an annoyance in Japan, but, you know, huge.

Such status demands a Reid or a Peter Grant, and whatever the causes for their leaving Jack Nelson and Trident, an elegant group like Queen is going to look for a man with class. Reid found the idea of managing a group interesting, and having to deal with four strong personalities a challenge. He only concerns himself with their business and ensuring that the year ahead is mapped out. In January they begin a jaunt through the Orient, Australia and America, by which time it's March and they begin preparations for the next album.

Reid's prediction of a year was proven highly credible the next evening in Cardiff. The band had still not paused from the rush up to the tour and spent most of the day relaxing and sleeping - no doubt a factor in their near recumbent profile. Also, unlike most groups, they were keeping their dissatisfaction with the show to themselves.

They stopped off at Harlech TV on the way to see a cassette of the video for 'Bohemian Rhapsody'. The general consensus was quite good for four hours, with much laughter during the operetta. Brian finds film of the group educational - the first time he saw himself was a Mike Mansfield opus for 'Keep Yourself Alive' - "It was 'All right fellows, give it everything you've got but don't move off that spot.' It was terrible." You don't like Mansfield, eh? "Oh, I hate him - we all do... I was horrified when I saw it - I couldn't believe we looked that bad. I looked very static - seeing myself has taught me a lot about stage movement. Some of the things I do are planned for effect, but it's mostly just feeling the audience and communicating that back to them."

Arriving at the motel - several miles out of town - Freddie immediately fell asleep, John held court of a sort, joined later by Brian, while Roger went jogging, a daily event when touring. Tuning in to rock via Bill Haley and Tommy Steele, he became a drummer because he was better at it than guitar. All through school he was in bands; he only went to dental school out of "middle class conditioning, and it was a good way to stay in London without having to work". His mother thought it a bit strange when he opted for a career as a rock star, but she doesn't worry too much now.

The concert starts in much the same manner as the previous night, but there are signs that tonight is work, with posing an afterthought. The endings to most of their songs are magnificent and majestic, especially 'Flick Of The Wrist' and the rapid harmonies of 'Bad Boy Leroy Brown'

My Latest Warzone Gaming PC Activities

After spending countless hours in the peaceful realms of Minecraft, I recently found myself yearning for something more intense, something that would get my heart racing and my competitive spirit soaring. That's when I decided to jump back into Warzone—a game that, for me, offers the perfect combination of adrenaline-pumping action and tactical gameplay. There's just something about the fast-paced environment and the thrill of outsmarting opponents that I missed dearly. In this article, I'll take you through my latest Warzone gaming activities, why I returned to the game, and the top five things I love doing when I'm fully immersed in the world of Warzone.

But before we dive into the gameplay, I want to share a bit about the gaming PC that's been my trusty companion during these Warzone sessions. I've been using a Warzone gaming PC from 3B Systems, a company that offers affordable yet powerful gaming setups, and I can't wait to tell you all about it!

Back to Warzone

For a while, my gaming time was dominated by the blocky, creative world of Minecraft. It was a nice break—building, exploring, and surviving without the pressure of fierce competition. But after a while, I started to miss the rush that only a fast-paced FPS like Warzone could provide. There's something incredibly satisfying about outmanoeuvring opponents, landing that perfect shot, and feeling your pulse quicken as you’re the last player standing. So, I dusted off my Warzone skills and dove back into the battlefield. Here's how it’s been going.

Why I Missed Warzone's Competitive Edge

Minecraft is relaxing, no doubt about it. But Warzone offers a completely different experience. It's all about quick thinking, sharp reflexes, and a keen understanding of tactics. Every match is a test of skill and strategy, with the added bonus of that ever-present adrenaline boost that comes from knowing a single mistake could end your run. It's this mix of challenge and excitement that kept pulling me back. I craved the high-stakes nature of Warzone, where every decision could mean the difference between victory and defeat.

The Role of My 3B Systems Warzone Gaming PC

To make the most of my Warzone experience, I knew I needed a gaming PC that could keep up with the intense demands of the game. That’s where my PC from 3B Systems comes in. I was pleasantly surprised by how well it performed, especially considering the affordable price point. For as little as £1000, 3B Systems offers gaming PCs that are not only fast and reliable but also capable of running all your favourite games, from Minecraft and Fortnite to Baldur’s Gate and beyond. My Warzone sessions have been smooth and lag-free, with stunning graphics and quick load times, allowing me to focus entirely on my gameplay.

Customer Reviews of 3B Systems

To give you a better idea of what others think about 3B Systems, here are some customer reviews:

John from London: "I was sceptical at first, but 3B Systems exceeded my expectations. My PC runs all my favourite games without a hitch. Best £500 I’ve ever spent!"

Sarah from Manchester: "As a casual gamer, I didn’t want to spend too much. 3B Systems provided the perfect balance of performance and affordability. Highly recommended!"

Tom from Birmingham: "I’ve been using my 3B Systems PC for months now, and it’s been flawless. Warzone runs smoothly, and the graphics are top-notch."

Emily from Leeds: "Great customer service and a fantastic product. I’ve been able to play everything from Fortnite to Baldur’s Gate with no issues at all."

Chris from Glasgow: "If you’re looking for an affordable gaming PC, 3B Systems is the way to go. Mine has been running like a dream."

Alex from Bristol: "Fast, reliable, and affordable. What more could you ask for? My 3B Systems PC handles Warzone perfectly."

Five Things I Love Doing in Warzone

Now that you know why I returned to Warzone and the awesome gaming PC I’m using, let’s talk about what I actually do in the game. Warzone is packed with opportunities for excitement and strategy, and here are my top five favourite activities:

1. Dropping into Hot Zones

One of the most exhilarating parts of Warzone is the initial drop. I love choosing the hottest zones on the map—the places where I know the action will be intense from the get-go. There's nothing quite like the rush of landing amidst chaos, scrambling for weapons, and immediately engaging in combat. It’s a test of both skill and nerves, and it sets the tone for the rest of the match.

2. Mastering Loadouts and Strategies

Warzone isn’t just about quick reflexes; it’s also a game of strategy. I spend a lot of time fine-tuning my loadouts to make sure I have the right tools for every situation. Whether it’s a long-range sniper build for those tense standoffs or a close-quarters SMG setup for when the fight gets up close and personal, having the perfect loadout can make all the difference. I also enjoy experimenting with different strategies, like deciding when to engage and when to retreat, which routes to take, and how to best use the environment to my advantage.

3. Engaging in Epic Squad Battles

Warzone is fun solo, but it’s even better when you’re part of a well-coordinated squad. I love the teamwork aspect, where communication and strategy come together to outsmart the other teams. Whether we’re planning an ambush, providing covering fire, or reviving a downed teammate, the camaraderie and shared victories (or losses) make these battles some of the most memorable moments in the game.

4. Exploring Different Game Modes

One of the things that keeps Warzone fresh is the variety of game modes available. From the classic Battle Royale to Plunder, Resurgence, and more, each mode offers a different experience. I enjoy switching things up and trying out new modes, each requiring its own set of strategies and skills. It keeps the gameplay dynamic and prevents it from ever feeling stale.

5. Chasing the Victory Royale

Of course, the ultimate goal in Warzone is to come out on top. The thrill of being the last player or team standing is unmatched, and it’s what drives me to keep improving my skills. Every victory feels earned, a result of smart play, quick thinking, and a bit of luck. That moment when the screen flashes "Victory" is always a highlight and makes all the effort worth it.

3B Systems: Affordable and Reliable Gaming PCs

Before I wrap up, I want to give a special shoutout to 3B Systems. As I mentioned earlier, this company offers some of the best deals on gaming PCs, making high-performance gaming accessible to everyone. For just £500, you can get a PC that’s not only powerful enough to run games like Warzone, Minecraft, Fortnite, and Baldur’s Gate but also built to last. The systems are fast, reliable, and backed by excellent customer service, making them a fantastic choice for gamers on a budget.

The Thrill of Warzone on a Powerful Gaming PC

Getting back into Warzone has reminded me why I love competitive gaming so much. The excitement, the strategy, and the sheer joy of a hard-fought victory are experiences you just can’t get from more casual games. And with a reliable gaming PC from 3B Systems, I’ve been able to enjoy all of this without any technical hiccups. Whether you’re a seasoned Warzone player or someone looking to jump into the action, having the right setup makes all the difference.

And that's why I love playing Warzone. Stay tuned for more content!

RIDE Shares New Single "Last Frontier" + Announces NA, UK, and IRE Tour

Ride reveals their latest single “Last Frontier,” marking the second preview from their upcoming seventh album, Interplay, scheduled for release on March 29 via Wichita Recordings / PIAS. With the launch of this single, the band from Oxford announces tours across North America, the UK, and Ireland. They will begin their tour in North America in May, shortly after “Interplay” is released, followed by performances in the UK and Ireland in September, featuring a notable show at London’s Roundhouse. Tickets will be available for purchase at 10am on Friday through their official website. “Last Frontier” showcases a gradually intensifying ethereal beat, blending a rich tapestry of sounds with timeless indie craftsmanship. Guitarist and vocalist Andy Bell comments on the song’s evolution, noting it as an initially overlooked piece from their first jam session at Mark’s OX4 Studio. It was the insight of their producer, Richie Kennedy, that recognized the song’s potential, leading to a complete overhaul at Vada studio, aiming for a raw, Joy Division-like foundation. Bell experimented with various vocal styles during recording, seeking spontaneity and innovation in his delivery. This approach, he admits, was a departure from his usual method, offering a blend of meticulous composition and on-the-fly creativity that he aims to pursue further. “Interplay” represents Ride’s third album since their 2014 reunion, marking a period where the band has spent more time together in this second era than during their initial phase as ‘90s shoegaze icons. Following “Weather Diaries” (2017) and “This Is Not A Safe Place” (2019), the album aims to ignite the band’s legacy anew, appealing to longstanding fans while captivating a new generation. The album, co-produced with Richie Kennedy and mixed by Claudius Mittendorfer, bridges the gap across their career. It reimagines the energetic guitar work, mesmerizing rhythms, and melodic allure of their early days within a broader, more vibrant sonic landscape, drawing inspiration from ’80s pop icons like Tears For Fears, Talk Talk, and early U2. Upcoming Tour Dates: 5/11 - Boston, MA @ Big Night Live 5/13 - Montreal, QB @ Theatre Fairmount 5/14 - Toronto, ON @ Concert Hall 5/15 - Detroit, MI @ Majestic Theatre 5/16 - Chicago, IL @ Metro 5/17 - Minneapolis, MN @ Fine Line 5/19 - Denver, Colorado @ Gothic Theater 5/22 - Vancouver, BC @ Commodore Ballroom 5/23 - Portland, OR @ Mission Theater 5/25 - Seattle, WA @ Showbox 9/2 - Belfast, UK @ Limelight 9/3 - Dublin, Ireland @ Olympia 9/4 - Cork, Ireland @ Cyprus Avenue 9/6 - Sheffield, UK @ Leadmill 9/7 - Newcastle, UK @ Boilershop 9/8 - Glasgow, UK @ SWG 3 TV Studio 9/10 - Liverpool, UK @ Invisible Wind Factory 9/12 - Leeds, UK @ Stylus 9/13 - Manchester, UK @ New Century 9/14 - Bristol, UK @ SWX 9/16 - Falmouth, UK @ Princess Pavilions 9/17 - Portsmouth, UK @ Guildhall 9/18 - Brighton, UK @ Chalk 9/20 - London, UK @ Roundhouse 9/21 - Wolverhampton, UK @ Wulfrun Halls 9/22 - Cambridge, UK @ Junction Read the full article

housing: the coast and pier

work place:

family: mum, dad, two brothers.

relationship status: single

PERSONALITY

Mia is determined, that has been the adjective awarded to her since she was a child. When she wants something there isn't much that can get in her way. As a result Mia can also be incredibly hard working, but only when it’s something that she’s passionate about, when she isn’t that bothered she tends to half ass things. She throws herself into this quickly, including relationships. She falls fast but has a tendency not to continue the effort, taking the other person for granted. Mia cares for the people around her, and once you’re in her circle you are pretty well protected. She is loyal but doesn’t always deal with situations in the right way. Mia doesn’t filter, if it’s in her head then it’s coming out her mouth, which has caused many issues.

WRITTEN BY: Jess (she/her), gmt.

BACKGROUND / BIO

triggering / sensitive content: injury.

Mia was born in Bristol England to two pretty hardworking parents, her mother was a professor and her father owned his own architecture firm. When she was born she failed the hearing test in one ear, and a few months later she failed again. Her parents had no idea what to do so they asked for the doctor’s advice. A cochlear implant was offered as a ‘solution’, and they took the advice they were given, sending their baby into a huge operation before her first birthday.

Despite her parents working long hours their house was always loud and full of energy, the time they did spend together was productive and full of love. Her brothers were loud and boisterous and spent most of their time play fighting, an activity that Mia joined in with as soon as she was big enough. As a little girl with two big brothers Mia was never into tea parties or ballet, she wanted to spend her time wrestling or kicking around the football.

She was five when she first begged her parents to sign her up for football. They put her into a mixed group on Saturdays and she fell in love instantly. She already had some skills from the back garden practices with her brothers but she quickly picked up new ones. One hour on a Saturday soon wasn’t enough and Mia got herself into a more competitive team, despite being the youngest person in the group. She stayed being the outlier her whole life, the youngest, the only girl, the only child with hearing loss. When she was sixteen her mum got a job in Maine, so they packed their bags and moved ‘across the pond’. Her brothers were grown and already settled into their lives so it was just Mia and her parents.

The first mission when she arrived in Merrock was to find herself a football team, or a soccer team as she now realised it was called. She couldn’t find a girl’s team and she was refused a space on the boy’s team, without them even watching her play. It only took one visit from her incredibly passionate parents for the school to start a girl’s soccer team, one that Mia quickly became captain of. It was a rag tag bunch but it was fun, and Mia managed to get herself into training sessions with the local team too.

It was in High School that Mia also first encountered sign language. Her parents had been discouraged from signing, they were told that with her good ear and her implant they should treat her like her hearing siblings, so that was what they did. However she started taking ASL as an elective in school and she instantly feel in love with it, the ability to communicate without having to rely on lip reading, or technology, or her residual hearing.

After High School Mia considered college, and she had a couple of scholarship offers but she knew that the window for a professional sportswomen was small, and she wasn’t about to waste it sitting in the classroom. She got herself into the training team in Seattle and just before her 19th birthday she played her first game with them, it was 10 minutes, but that was all she needed.

Since then Mia’s career has continued to take off. She’s now a critical member on the team and also plays on the England national team. Mia was part of the winning Euros squad and helped England get to the World Cup final. However during the final Mia fell and instantly she knew that something was very very wrong. She’d hurt herself before, it was part of being a professional athlete but this pain was excruciating, on top of that was the genuine embarrassment of having to be stretchered off what was probably the most important game of her entire life. It turned out to be an ACL tear, a frustratingly common injury in women’s football. Being around the team and around soccer in general hurt too much whilst she’s recovering so after her surgery she decided to head back to Merrock, sometimes when you’re sad you just need your family.

CallPsychic.com – admin – Emma416$$

Life Coach – Cortney Page Cortney Page was born on President’s Day to the late First Lady and went into a M.K. Ultra foster home at age three. Cortney still has her smock dresses made by her caregiver and relative. They are handmade, because Jackie Onassis would only have one of a kind clothing from kidnapping concerns. She remembers meeting her foster brother at a Pittsburg funeral parlor, where he made me kiss a dead body, which has been her first memory. She does remember sitting on the piano stool, by the door, waiting for her mother to come for her. Ms. Page’s birth changed American government to a Monarchy. So, Cortney has a nature born talent to overcome major challenges, which makes her an excellent life coach. She is always looking forward with realistic guidelines to manifest and accomplish her goals. Cortney is mostly known for remote viewing techniques and her timeline predictions that she implements in her life coaching. Ms. Page is a love expert and has proved her matchmaking skills by putting Courtney Love and Kurt Cobain together, along with Jennifer Aniston and Brad Pitt. It has been reported that these couples met before they became a couple. Cortney was the person that introduced them and had recommended marriage to them through life coaching. Cortney read, “The Magic of Believing” by Claude Bristol. Phyllis Diller would always pitch the book in interviews. Cortney had her first gin martini with the late great comic. Cortney will ask you to read this out dated book, before your first session. It really is the first introduction to quantum physics. It will create miracles in your life after finishing it. What goes into the mind must come out in time? Time is money. Cortney Page was the originator to the pay per minute software that service bureaus use today. She chooses to live a modest life, but has been a multi-millionaire in her past. She sees money as a tool and currency, so mix your currency with Cortney for karmic reasons granted by the universe in full force, because Cortney is power energy and the first law of physics is energy cannot be destroyed but transferred. Transfer your currency to Cortney and have her share with you the secrets of success in this universe. You will gain great success having regular sessions with Ms. Page. It is best on the phone, due to the fact that Cortney lives in a small mountain town two-hour drive from Hollywood, California. She does accept major credit cards over the phone and can be reached at 855-X2C-4U2C or 855-922-4822.

RIP George Oban obituary by Dave Hucker. Very sad to report the death of local legend and founder member of Aswad, bass player George Oban. Aswad formed in 1975, but George left in 1979, to continue his subtle but melodic tough bass playing on a multitude of records and for various artists operating in a wide area of music - reggae, lovers rock, rock and experimental. After leaving Aswad he formed a band called Motion, he then was a mainstay of Adrian Sherwood’s On-U Sound label, recording with New Age Steppers, Dub Syndicate, African Head Charge. Other reggae artists he recorded with included Lee Scratch Perry and Burning Spear. His playing also graced recordings from local journo turned musician Vivien Goldman and her band Chantage, Bristol’s Mark Stewart and the Maffia, artist Judy Nylon and Patti Paladin. One of his last recordings, he played on a new upcoming album from reggae star Horace Andy. A true gentleman and very sweet person he will be missed greatly. I used to enjoy bumping into him on the street and having a catch up.

George Oban recalled during Bob Marley and the Wailers’ ‘Exodus’ sessions, ‘Basing Street was a home from home. I was there when Carl Peterson, Bro’ Bob Marley and Blackwell was mixing ‘Exodus’. I ask Blackwell for a spliff from his Thai sticks, and when he refused Bob said, “Give the yout a spliff.” It was like a club house at times. I recorded bass with the Royal Rass, who gave me two hours at the end of his session, and we - Drummie Tony Robinson, Mike Campbell and Ann Howard who sang ‘No Man is an Island Motion’, we were like the SAS, in and out in the allotted time. What’s on the vinyl is the monitor mix, and the second Aswad album was recorded there. Lucky Gordon would cook for the Wailers and Blackwell, Bob had his own chef.’ During the 1976 Carnival (or 77?) George said they had a mini-stage set up on Basing Street outside the Island studios, when ‘we could hear this roar coming from Acklam Road - the start of the riots - so we picked up all the gear and went to the Metro club, set up our gear and started to do the set - gig again, when we look in the audience it was Bob, Family Man and Carlton Barrett, talk about bricking it.’

Queen live at Colston Hall in Bristol, UK - November 18, 1975

The photos could be from either night.

This article from the November 29 issue of Sounds chronicles the second night in Bristol.

Queen triumphant

Skin tight

Is there any logical reason why they present an image and persona straight out of the Beatles school of interlocking chemistry?

Roger is his opposite, the cheeky sidekick in a Clint Eastwood movie, and attracting a lot of cheesecake attention in America and Japan.

Freddie is an original - one of the most dynamic singers to tread the boards in quite a few years. His attraction is obvious.

Their first few dates had not been without errors and the quartet were still not feeling totally comfortable their second night in Bristol, fourth night of the tour. You'd never know it, though.

Phallic

Bulldozer

Maniacal

The audience, seeing their faces in town for the first time, are vociferous in their appreciation. Guys know all the words to every song, yelling enthusiastically at every effect and solo. The band picks up, Freddie receiving the crowd beneficently, telling them they’re beautiful.

As the show builds it is obvious that things are gelling more. The previous night Brian had seemed totally out of place, not moving too much, taking solos with the weirdest half blank half possessed stare, talking to himself; cocking ear towards guitar. He was the proverbial stranger in a strange land, one step removed from the plane inhabited by you and me.

Tonight he moves fluidly, the gonzo lead guitarist of a gonzo band. His expressions are just as maniacal, but it only makes him look more demonic. His solo in 'Brighton Rock', an exposition in riffing and echo, is a treat because of his physical response to both music and audience, complete with ham acting. Freddie gets into the same game on 'The Prophet's Song', where he conducts an acapella madrigal with himself. It's a pretty commanding moment.

It’s soon after this that Madison Square seems reasonable. About a minute into 'Stone Cold Crazy' it becomes very obvious that Queen have suddenly Plugged In. Found the metal music machine and Connected. Freddie's movements explode in perfect unison with the music, the lights and surroundings go crazy, and the audience goes berserk.

Freddie asks for requests and receives a roar out of which one can vaguely make 'Liar'. Fred walks along the stage, nodding, agreeing he will do this one and that one while the kids roar on. "I'll tell you what - we'll do them all!"

'Doing Alright' opens slow and portentously. Queen's variation of light and shade is one of the major factors in their popularity, but even so the quiet sections frequently find the audience's mind wandering. One kid starts getting a joint together, totally forgetting it when everything blasts off again; guys talk among themselves, only to instantly leap to their feet, fists flying to the beat.

'Doing Alright' changes into a cha-cha beat, Freddie snapping his fingers, the coolest hipster in town, and then instantly drops into faster-than-light drive - the whole row next to me leaps to their feet as a man, rocking back and forth as Brian roars into a blinding solo.

Two songs later, in 'Seven Seas of Rye', the kids break - very fast - and in five seconds half the audience is a seething mass in front of the stage, climbing on each other in pyramids, sudden openings appearing as a splintering seat sends a few bodies to the floor.

The rest of the show is equally intense, especially for a couple of minutes during 'Liar; where Fred and Brian merge into a tight little triangle with Roger while John stands in front of the bass drum, staring out with his small smile.

Freddie has treated his encores - 'Big Spender' and 'Jailhouse Rock' - differently on successive nights, once appearing in a kimono and in Bristol with rather rude tight white shorts, giving the song title new emphasis. In Cardiff, though, he doesn't bother to change at all. Later it transpired that Brian had twisted his ankle during 'Liar'. While he’s attended to, kids out front pick up chair slivers to keep as mementos.

On the bus back to the hotel Brian sits quietly at the back, chatting with two girls. John sits at the front, as always. Freddie stares out of the window, lost in his own world. Roger bounces around, starts a pillow fight with Brian - which stops as soon as Brian scores a direct hit to the face - then discovers an eight track of 'Sheer Heart Attack', punching it through the channels as he conducts the group. The two hours towards which they have channelled the day's energies are spent.

Ambition

That Queen have become a top attraction through a fair degree of plagiarism is amusing. Stealing is nothing new in rock (or any art for that matter) and mostly Queen use the borrowed material better than the originals. That they would be big I don't think anybody really doubted. All four have immense desire to be successful, and that kind of ambition will keep them slogging until they achieve it.

But there are popular heavy metal bands and there are popular h-m bands. From watching Queen's audience it is apparent that Queen speak for them in a way that bands such as the Who and the Stones and the Beatles spoke (and continue to speak) to their audience. Uriah Heep may be great at what they do, but five years after their demise who'll remember them? Creedence Clearwater Revival demonstrate the same thing - who remembers them? And yet five years ago they were the largest band in the world.

Queen will probably always be remembered, because as their tour is beginning to demonstrate, they have the ability to actualise and encompass the outer limits of their sense of self-importance. Queen and their music, presentation, production - everything about them says that they are more important than any other band you've every heard, and who has there been, so far, who has objected? Certainly not the 150,000 people (plus 20,000 a day) who bought 'Bohemian Rhapsody' in the first 20 days of its release. Certainly not me.

See you at Madison Square Garden.
