Had this been the only Queen live
album, it would have been pretty good. It is actually pretty
good, it's just the fourth full live show on CD, basically one from
every tour they did from 1979 until Freddie Mercury's passing, so it
gets a bit monotonous. The set list seems remarkably similar to the
2004 release of a show that was only performed about six months later,
On Fire: Live at the Bowl, so it
really does seem a bit pointless.
What also drags this down, is it seems that crowd doesn't quite get into
the show like the band would like. Yes, they thunderously applaud after
every track, so they're obviously enjoying themselves, but during
the songs, it sounds like the band is trying to get them to play along,
and the Canadian audience seems a bit reluctant. There's a point in the
song Crazy Little Thing Called Love during the heavy bass-drum
part middle section, that the band always stops and lets the audience
sing it themselves, but here, nothing. So after the little section goes
on with no help, Mercury seems to kind of give up and sings it himself
anyway. At the end of the show, he says something like "Thanks for
being such good sports". Good sports? So.....probably the least
effective of the many many live albums out there.
