OH! And I should point out that Brian performed today as a part of his SAVE ME campaign for wildlife in the UK. His SAVE ME group put on a festival of sorts called Wildlife Rocks with vendors, speakers, and a short acoustic set by Brian with Kerry Ellis. Setlist was: Born Free I Loved A Butterfly I Who Have Nothing Life Is Real Puttin' on the Style (with Joe Brown) Crazy Little Thing Called Love Some vids have surfaced...and it seems the second two were from an Adam fan so again I am grateful :D I Loved A ButterflyI Who Have NothingLife Is RealIt also seems that Brian and Roger are going to do a short set at the FREDDIE FOR A DAY charity in the UK on Monday and Marc Martel will be singing with them (Adam's busy with something else it seems... )

She's a West End Star who was in We Will Rock You as well as Elphaba in Wicked and in My Fair Lady and Oliver Brian developed a very special liking of her to the point where he's become her mentor. They did an album together (which I will get to MUCH later :D) and a tour. In fact that tour is where Queen picked up Neil Fairclough from!
And thank you! IT will be a good time!

Interesting thing you learn from this forum :D Cromartie High SchoolMercury - one of the characters An associate of Yutaka Takenouchi while he was a leader of the Mafia in New York. He has an uncanny resemblance to Freddie, and his name is another reference to Freddie Mercury of Queen. Unlike Freddie, however, he speaks. He also knows about Takenouchi's motion sickness. He also knows a lot of Japanese sayings despite claiming to never have been to Japan. He appears once in the manga, and does not make any appearance in the anime.

OK! After a wild drunken helluva wedding last night where I got dragged up on stage with the New York Players to do my own rendition of Crazy Little Thing Called LoveVids!! What kind of material was at these early shows? I know the setlist is just ? for most but did they do all original material or a lot of covers?

LOL. If a vid appears, I shall give it an upload! It might be a bit though...I think the videographer got it but that won't come back for a bit. I was told though that people wanted to iphone tape it but got so into it they forgot Regarding the material...Yeah there are a lot of ? And before I get into the specific material...I wanted to point out I don't assume anything so I have gotten all my setlists from either: - Newspaper reviews - First hand reports - First hand knoweldge/Bootlegs If I don't see the song listed in one of those categories I don't put it down even if I'm fairly sure it was there. Specifically that will mean more as we go forward with actual Queen/Solo tours. For each actual tour, I am going to list a General tour setlist...which will basically be what a typical show from that tour would have been. So if there's a ? or a seemingly incomplete set list you can infer that the rest of the show was probably made up of that general set list. I will also give a list of songs that were known to definitely have made appearances during that tour. Then I will still list the specific show's setlists as well if I have confirmed them in some way With that being said, generally for: All of the bands, save Smile they were made up mostly of cover songs. As far as I know The Reaction may have done one original. 1984 as you saw did do Step On Me the Brian May/Tim Staffell original. But generally they were also 95% covers. Art/Opposition seemed to have about one original between them. Freddie's bands seemed to be a few more originals as Freddie was a bit older. Certainly there were some covers as well but I know Freddie tried to inject a few more originals. Smile though was the first time one of the bands really stepped forward and tried to do original material. It was probably around 60% originals or so. But they definitely threw some covers in. That was actually one of Freddie's biggest influence on Smile even before they became Queen. He started pushing them to write original material! That's why Queen began doing a ton more original and then some kind of cover medley to close it out.

Question re: unreleased Queen songs ....
1. Were these songs recorded but not put together or included in any unreleased albums?
2. Were these songs recorded when FM was sick or was recorded before he was sick but these songs didn't fit the theme of the finalized album?
3. How did Queen fans know about these songs? Did BM and/or RT talked about it after FM died?
