Live Albums by Queen
Queen are a group that divides opinion quickly on whether they were ever any good or whether they started well but then went off or they started well and got better.
Studio Albums by Queen
In my opinion, Queen’s studio albums have always been patchy but the best are Sheer Heart Attack, A Night At The Opera and A Day At The Opera.
1973 – Queen
1974 – Queen II
1974 – Sheer Heart Attack
1975 – A Night at the Opera
1976 – A Day at the Races
1977 – News of the World
1978 – Jazz
1980 – The Game
1980 – Flash Gordon
1982 – Hot Space
1984 – The Works
1986 – A Kind of Magic
1989 – The Miracle
1991 – Innuendo
1995 – Made in Heaven
They were a great live band and Freddie Mercury was an astonishing front man and singer who commanded attention when he was on stage. This means that there should be some great live albums by Queen.

The Missing Live Albums by Queen
I have always wanted to hear a properly produced live alum by Queen from the tours to promote A Night At The Opera and A Day At The Races. That’s when Queen had most impact on me and when I saw them live.
On Christmas Eve 1975 when Bohemian Rhapsody was the #1 single, Queen played live at the Hammersmith Odeon in London and the show was broadcast by the BBC.

Live Magic is a live album by Queen.
It was recorded at various concerts in 1986 while the band were promoting their studio album, A Kind Of Magic. It includes songs recorded at Knebworth Park on 9 August 1986 which was their last live performance with Freddie Mercury.
It was released in 1986 and has been largely superseded by the better and more comprehensive Live At Wembley album.

A Night At The Odeon 1975 by Queen is one of the most wanted live albums and DVD releases.
In 1975, Queen raced to #1 in the UK singles chart with Bohemian Rhapsody while they were on their A Night At The Opera tour. The final show was at the Hammersmith Odeon in London and the show was broadcast as the Old Grey Whistle Test Christmas Eve special.
It has been frequently bootlegged but the concert is finally released as a live album and DVD on November 20th 2015, nearly 40 years after the original gig.
Return Of The Champions is a live album and DVD by Queen With Paul Rodgers.
It was recorded at Hallam FM Arena, Sheffield on 9th May 2005.
This was a tour and album that raised lots of difficult questions:
Well we know how the pair answered that last question in 2005. They tried a different approach and brought on board one of the greatest rock vocalists who has his own style and could never imitate Freddie.
This controversial album is admired by some as a brave new interpretation of the songs and loathed by others.

Queen on Fire Live at the Bowl is a live album and DVD by Queen.
It was recorded at the Milton Keynes Bowl in Milton Keynes, England on 5 June 1982 while the band were promoting the disappointing Hot Space studio album.
Perhaps Queen were trying to prove a point because this album rocks hard and the piano based ballads create a great contrast.
Queen Rock Montreal is a live album by Queen. It was at the Montreal Forum (in Montreal, Quebec, Canada) on 24 November and 25 November 1981.
This is the soundtrack to the film, We Will Rock You. It wasn’t released as a CD until October 2007.
The marketing department has been busy with this live album recorded by Queen from concert(s) in 1974 at The Rainbow theatre in London in 1974 but only released 40 years later. There are plenty of versions to choose from depending on how much you’re prepared to spend.
Queen Live At The Hammersmith Odeon 1975 isn’t a live album but I wish it was.
I remember this being broadcast on the Old Grey Whistle Test on the BBC on Christmas Eve in 1975, having been recorded earlier in the evening.
Bohemian Rhapsody was #1 on the singles chart in the UK. If I remember correctly, A Night At The Opera was #1 on the albums chart.
And Queen did a great concert which I really hope they turn into a top quality official release because I want to buy it and have done for more than 35 years.
Here is the video of the concert I found on YouTube. I don’t know how long it will stay available but I’m assuming that this has “unofficial permission”. After all Queen can afford to have someone policing their copyright and having YouTube take it down. Continue reading Queen Live At The Hammersmith Odeon 1975

Live Killers is the first live album by Queen, recorded and released in 1979 from concerts promoting the Jazz studio album.
Long terms fans have been wanting a live queen album from the mid -seventies on their tours to promote A Night At The Opera or A Day At The Races. Nothing has yet appeared, making Live Killers the best souvenir of Queen as a live rock band before they went soft.
