OVERVIEW

An odd mix of Flash with some new material thrown in.



INSTRUMENTS

Brian on organ, piano and guitars, Roger on drums, both on synth.



VOCALS

Harmonies, slightly higher than on Flash.



QUOTES

For the record, as far as I remember. I played piano on the following:

- Doin’ Alright (on Queen I)
- Father to Son (II),
- Now I’m Here, Dear Friends (SHA),
- Teo Toriatte (ADATR),
- All Dead All Dead (NOTW)

Notably NOT on

- Sail Away Sweet Sister (The Game) – I got Freddie to learn it and play it with Roger and John for the backing track – I wanted his marvellous rhythm and percussive feel on piano.

But yes on

- Save Me
- Las Palabras de Amor (Hot Space)
- Flash and The Hero (Flash Gordon) (plus organ on the WEDDING)

This article’s been written and researched by Sebastian (sebastian@queenconcerts.com), with a lot of direct and indirect help from who knows how many people. As any academic work, it may have mistakes and it things that can be rendered wrong in the future (remember there was a time when scientists thought the earth was flat). All of the information found here has been carefully checked and verified as much as possible. It still does NOT mean it's a 100% error-proof research (even the people who were there make mistakes about what happened) but it does ensure that it's way more than mere speculation and guessing. Not being able to prove everything is not the same as not being able to prove anything.
