Love of my life (Queen live @ Houston 1977)

** Someone requested for a copy- so here's a download link for everyone: rapidshare.de/f...
Earliest version of "Love of my life" that I have. I think Queen only started singing this song live for the "News of the World" tour. Live @ the famous Houston leg, 11/12/1977, Houston, Texas. Includes a short intro by Brian May.
My all-time favorite Queen ballad!!!! :-) Awesome vocals by Freddie (as usual).

Brian talks about his parents flying iver for this concert. it was the first time they had seen Queen live. his father was against him going off with a band, but backstage, after this show, his father told him "I get it now". Brian cried when he told that story and said "thank you Madison Square Garden".

It is so special to see this early version of one of the most beautiful songs ever written. To hear Freddy sing it all the way thru without any audience participation, is stunning. This was such a personal song for Freddy but he gave it to his fans and, in later shows, let us join in. Thank you Freddy

+ Anna BananasI did, in the 70's to Night At The Opera! It was wonderful! I'm now 63 and you should really listen to the editorial that was written about that album. It was done after Freddie died and if is really good. They (the band) thought that Bohemian Rhapsody should NOT have been the single, and they were really surprised when it made it! It really is excellent and I know you would appreciate it. I watched it on You Tube about 3 years ago, so it SHOULD still be here!

Hell, I dont think I can even go to the Fleetwood Mac concert without Lindsay Buckingham. I saw Stevie Nicks a couple of years ago. But I'd love to see Fleetwood Mac, oh well, same with AC/DC.

+Lemon Drops it´s not underrated, it´s one of the most famous and popular Queen song. There are many other songs which are really underrated like Great King Rat, Spread Your Wings, My Fairy King, Misfire, Jesus, Jealousy or Nevermore

[@emlynlewis2830]

Agreed, I think as far singing and a display of Freddie's vocal brilliance it's amazing and the greatest exhibition of it in it's simple splendour, but Bohemian Rhapsody is the greatest song ever in my opinion, like "Time" by Pink Floyd it's 3 songs packed into one absolute masterpiece.
