Since Queen's first official live album was 1979's LIVE KILLERS, many early Queen tours had gone by undocumented. Released in 1995, AT THE BBC collects eight tracks recorded live in 1973 for England's influential BBC Radio, while the band was touring behind their self-titled debut. Their sound was still in its formative stages--a cross between heavy metal and pop-rock. The band was still a few years away from composing such sprawling classics as "Bohemian Rhapsody" and "Somebody To Love." And since AT THE BBC was recorded by the BBC staff and not by a producer of Queen's choosing, the sound is not as consistently strong as that of their official albums. Still, AT THE BBC is a very interesting artifact for fans curious to hear the sound of early live Queen.

Although not a true live album (guitar and vocal overdubs are evident), AT THE BBC contains killer versions of Queen's early rock classics "Keep Yourself Alive," "Great King Rat," "Son And Daughter," "Liar" and "Modern Times Rock N' Roll." A track which would later turn up on QUEEN II--"Ogre Battle"--is included here, as are a pair of early ballads, "Doin' Alright" and "My Fairy King."

Recorded live on February 5, 1973 and December 3, 1973. Includes liner notes by Malcolm Dome.

Personnel: Freddie Mercury (vocals, piano); Brian May (guitar); Roger Taylor (drums).

Recording information: BBC Studios, London, England.

Queen: Freddie Mercury (vocals, piano); Brian May (guitar); John Deacon (bass); Roger Taylor (drums).

4 stars Really a treat, glad I got it.
This disc was a nice suprise. Given the reservation concerning sound quality on this site and the AMG to Rock. For what it is I think the engineering work is actually pretty good. The best part about this disc is you get more of Brian May's guitar work than you are likely to find elsewhere in the Queen discography. All the songs are good so I don't mind the 36 min. length.I never understood why Queen took the direction they did when they had such a great guitarist in May, this and Sheer Heart Attack are my favorites by them. Actually the last song on this disc has parts of the "Brighton Rock" guitar break on Sheer Heart Attack. Reccommended strongly for fans of May in Particular, but Mercury also delivers fine performances throughout.Reviewed by Chris Henrici.

5 stars A real pleasure to listen to................
over and over and over and over again!!!! At first (admittedly) I had misgivings about buying it, but once I popped it into my car stereo, all those apprehensions went flying out the window. It REALLY depicted the essence of Queen, in their formitive years. As a staunch Queen fan, who literaly owns EVERY Queen album, of course, all these songs were dupes, but they were great interpretations of those songs and a stunning and rare glimpse into early Queen, live. I would DEFINATELY reccomend it. It's Art Rock at it's Finest!

With their previous album (HOT SPACE) confusing many of their fans, Queen had something to prove on THE WORKS. The band definitely succeeded at getting back on track--THE WORKS was one of the best rock releases of 1984, featuring the worldwide smash "Radio GaGa" and reintroducing their fans to Queen's classic sound. THE WORKS spawned a total of four U.K. top ten singles, confirming that Queen had returned from their short hiatus in fine form. Almost all of the elements you've come to expect from a classic Queen release are present on here. "I Want To Break Free" and ...

There was a time when it all made sense. Everything. It all seemed to coalesce into an emotion, a philosophy, an understanding of what could be possible. Those idealistic days, they fade. And when they do, it’s as if you’re out in a frozen pond by yourself, just watching the ice schism beneath you, with no where to go but down. This is where The Change Up is to begin. It is at this time when desperation sets in, regarding the circumstance, ...
