Queen Live at the Rainbow 1974 pubblicato a Settembre in sette formati

Il primo vero album live dei Queen vede la luce dopo 40 anni di attesa!
Il concerto del 31 marzo 1974 è una pietra miliare nella storia del rock, il culmine del loro primo tour inglese da headliners. La pubblicazione era prevista per lo stesso anno, ma la forza creativa dei Queen in studio fece sì che il progetto, anche se completato, slittasse e venisse poi accantonato. A novembre fecero altri due show tutto-esaurito al Rainbow, il 19 e il 20.
Ora il tutto uscirà in CD, doppio vinile LP, DVD e Blu-Ray SD, in versione standard, edizione speciale limitata e digitale.
Queen, Virgin Records e Eagle Rock Entertainment sono infatti fieri di annunciarne la pubblicazione ─ lunedì 8 settembre nel Regno Unito dalla Virgin Records e martedì 9 negli USA dalla Hollywood Records ─ anche in quadruplo vinile boxato e in super deluxe collector’s edition, comprendente un libro di 60 pagine!














Ecco tutti i dettagli dei sette formati disponibili:

• 1 CD con il concerto di novembre
• 2 CD digi-pack, show di marzo sul primo e di novembre sul secondo
• DVD dello show di novembre, con 4 bonus track dallo show di marzo
• Blu-Ray SD dello show di novembre, con 4 bonus track dallo show di marzo
• Doppio LP in edizione limitata con copertina apribile: show di marzo sul primo (in versione "1974", cioè con il mix originale fatto in quell'anno in previsione dell'uscita dell'album live, pare contenga anche qualche ritocco fatto in studio; non disponibile in nessun altro formato) e gli highlights di novembre sul secondo
• Quadruplo LP in box in edizione limitata: due LP con le registrazioni non editate e non remixate di marzo e gli altri due con quelle di novembre, missaggio del 19 (in quota molto minore) e del 20 (stragrande maggioranza)
• Super Deluxe Box in edizione limitata: box contenente:
• 2 CD, uno con le registrazioni di marzo e l’altro con quelle di novembre
• 1 DVD / 1 Blu-Ray SD dello show di novembre con 4 bonus track da quello di marzo
• Libro di 60 pagine con copertina rigida, con tante foto inedite, riproduzioni di articoli dell’epoca dal The Times, da Disc e da Music Echo, inclusa anche una serie di 4 articoli successivamente pubblicati
• Riproduzioni dei biglietti del concerto di marzo, quelli effettivamente usati dai genitori di Brian!
• Riproduzione della cartella con le disposizioni del tour del concerto di marzo del promotore Mel Bush, inclusa una lettera con l'invito al gruppo di non sfasciare le stanze dell’hotel!
• Una riproduzione della brochure souvenir di 8 pagine
• Due spille-distintivo, riproduzione di quelle disponibili al concerto
• Riproduzione del poster color porpora e color oro dei concerti di marzo
• Riproduzione delle foto del The Telegraph Magazine, con il gruppo insieme a delle modelle
• Riproduzione dei pass adesivi per il palco del concerto di marzo.

Alcune note aggiuntive:
The Fairy Feller's Master-Stroke venne suonata dal vivo per l'ultima volta al concerto del 31 marzo!
Dagli show di novembre, Great King Rat and Modern Times Rock'n'Roll (from the first album), See What A Fool I've Been e Flick of the Wrist vengono pubblicate per la prima volta in un prodotto live dei Queen.
Parte dei concerti di novembre erano usciti nel Box Of Tricks in VHS, ma quello di marzo non era mai stato pubblicato ufficialmente.
Nella VHS del 1992 (Box Of Tricks), Liar, Keep Yourself Alive, Father To Son e Jailhouse Rock erano presenti solo in parte, mentre ora usciranno complete per la prima volta. Modern Times Rock'n'Roll, Flick Of The Wrist, Seven Seas of Rhye e Big Spender dagli show di novembre non erano nella VHS e quindi escono per la prima volta.
Queste 15 canzoni dei concerti di marzo e novembre 1974 al Rainbow non sono mai state pubblicate in nessun album ufficiale dei Queen: Procession, Father to Son, Ogre Battle, Son and Daughter, White Queen, Great King Rat, The Fairy Feller's Master-Stroke, Modern Times Rock'n'Roll, Liar, See What A Fool I've Been, Flick of the Wrist, In the Lap of the Gods (not to be confused with In The Lap Of The Gods... Revisited), The March of the Black Queen, Bring Back that Leroy Brown e Stone Cold Crazy.
