Above, all 26 performances. As you can see, most of the shows have excellent recordings, and we have been collecting the best masters every day in the best condition. Under such circumstances, the Leiden performance of this work is the second performance in the early stages. Three performances were held at the same venue, and it was the first day of the concert.
This work that recorded such a show is a clear and realistic audience recording. The most wonderful thing is the experience of the full show. Some recordings are known on this day, some of which lack “Tie Your Mother Down” and some of which the encore is missing, but this work is a complete recording and the sound is “this day”. What is known as the “best”. It is undeniable that there is a little distance, but the feeling of air is clear whether the master is fresh, the stability without distortion and twist is wonderful, and the performance and singing voice jump straight in. Freddie is on fire as the biggest tour in QUEEN history has just begun, and you can feel the tension.
Furthermore, the point of this work is the heat of the audience. Although he is not the type who suffers from the screaming of the upcoming voice, he has picked up the enthusiasm of the scene widely, and the excitement is amazing. Needless to say, Freddie of “THE MAGIC TOUR” had a divine charisma, not to mention Wembley Stadium, but the technique of manipulating a large crowd at will is clear. The whole story is great, but especially symbolic after “Tie Your Mother Down”. It’s a song that is already exciting, but after that, it was fueled by the barking MC, and a soccer hymn “Ore! Ooore !!” That is one of the most famous scenes of “THE MAGIC TOUR” in the “Tavaszi Szel Vizet Araszt” performance in Budapest.
Of course, it doesn’t end just in the beginning. The show that burned up all at once was swelled by Freddie, who was in great shape, and rushed to the highlights. And the final stage is also a big point. This tour consists of a new song “Friends Will Be Friends” sandwiched between “We Will Rock You” and “We Are The Champions”, and that “Friends Will Be Friends” premiered on this day. Moreover, unlike the later shows, it will be played in the full version for about 4 minutes. The short version is tighter in terms of flow because it is changed to be shorter, but this long performance is only for Leiden 2 performance. You can experience such a valuable version in the field with wonderful sound. Then, the huge spectacle of “We Are The Champions” and the big circle of “God Save The Queen” are greeted when the excitement of “Friends Will Be Friends” that no one in the field expected. What a moving thing …
The glorious “THE MAGIC TOUR” was not only the largest scale, but also had more famous performances than usual in various places. It is a live album where you can experience the start dash in the early stages. Not only soccer hymns and the extremely rare “Friends Will Be Friends”, which are recorded by the audience once in a while, but also Freddie and the venue from the beginning to the ending, a masterpiece that stands in the middle of a burning masterpiece. One performance One performance is different, and the glorious scene is too fun because it is “THE MAGIC TOUR”. That’s why audience recording is irresistible … One that makes me feel that kind of emotion and never stops. Please enjoy it carefully.
