This is the earliest Queen show you can get. Well, when you're surfing the web you may come
across a Marquee gig from 1972, but that one is probably fake. There are also rumours of recordings of the last concert that
Barry Mitchell played on bass, but that's said to be in his private collection. Anyway, the earliest Queen gig, in superb
quality! This was recorded for the BBC and you can clearly hear that Queen didn't have as many fans at that time as they
have now. Nice to hear how the commentator announces Roger as "Roger Meddows Taylor" and John as "Deacon John".

My Comment:
This is the second gig that can be found on the "Master Of Sheetkeeckers" bootleg. This one
is from march '74. Another great early Queen gig. The sound quality is superb if you look at the era it's coming from. It's
nice to hear Freddie's vocals on "Modern Times Rock 'N' Roll", but I prefer Roger's. Great early show.
