I was dancing to "Don't Stop Me Now" at a charity do the other night, it had everyone on the floor singing along and acting out the lyrics as literally as possible...
Don't - move your hand from your left to right in fast motion
Stop - stretch out palm
Me - point towards oneself
Now - move hand with palm facing upwards down from your shoulder
Perhaps I should be working as a choreographer

Well the new live CD is out Monday & it's supposed to be really good according to one reviewer, however still probably not as good as Live at Wembley 1986.
I have heard some of the old songs before live (Live Killers CD) However been from 1982 it is part on the HOT SPACE album tour (Live at Wembley 86 was the A KIND OF MAGIC album tour). I'm interested in hear some of those tracks live considering they were dropped from live concerts soon afterwards, expect of course Under Pressure.
By the way I discovered a great unofficial Queen Site which has lots of info about albums, singles, etc. also news on a future Rare & Unreleased Box set which was supposed to have been orignally released in November 2003 but will now (hopefully) be released sometime in 2005.

It's nice to have such a Queen fan on board, and so similarly named!
'Queen On Fire' is due to be released on Monday on both DVD and double CD. IMO, the greatest ever performance of any Queen song I have ever heard is in the Milton Keynes concert - get ready to be blown away by Freddie's dramatics (both voice and presence) during 'Somebody To Love'. I first heard this live version 13 years ago, and it still makes the hairs stand on the back of my neck every time I hear it, especially the middle section.
Johnny, are you a hard-core Queen fan, or a passing fan? If you are a hard-core fan, I can let you in on a place where you can get the rarest and most exciting Queen stuff around, for free!

Weirdly, Freddie spits on the microphone in the video during this lyric!
I make no comment!

I looked over at my bloke and smiled at him...
also during the "I'm gonna make a supersonic man out of you" part.
I won't tell you what I did when they played Christina Aguilera's "Dirrty"...

I'm a huge Queen fan (The only album I don't have is Flash Gordon but I have always been put off buying this album - is it any good), I have liked them ever since in saw the Queen Real Magic concert on Channel 4 in 1986 done by Tyne Tees Television's musi cprogramme, The Tube.(it was the heavily edited version of Wembley 1986).
I'm also a huge U2 fan as well, I was going to do a simular thread for that as well but the new album ain't out until 25th November 2004! Anyone know any good Unoficial U2 sites???

I have only listened to disc 1 so far & have to say it is a brilliant concert, however I still prefer Wembley 86, as it was the first live concert I ever haerd / watched
The three HOT SPACE tracks sound interesting live, especially ACTION THIS DAY which sound more rock than funk & the amount of banging Roger Taylor does on the drums in the song, must have made him knackered.

Have to say that I'm not surprised that Don't Stop me now is leading especially seeing as it was included in that great fight sequence in SHAUN OF THE DEAD
I'm not surprised about HEAVEN FOR EVERYONE, BREAKTHRU & HAMMER TO FALL didn't get a vote as although Great songs, not as well known as the other, However I'm surprised that THESE ARE THE DAYS OF OUR LIVES hasn't got a single vote, that was quite a moving song especially as it was Freddie's final good bye to his fans (on film)
