Queen- Live in Milwaukee, 3/2/1976

We finish up another tour leg! This is the last (known) recording from the ANATO Tour's American leg (The tour closed out 10 days later), at the Milwaukee Auditorium. The quality is good, and doesn't have much major flaws. Unfortunately it's incomplete ("Lazing On A Sunday Afternoon" is missing, much of the improv section of "The Prophet's Song" is cut, and several songs are missing bits at the beginning.)

It's still a great show. The band's performances are excellent this time around, as they seem to give a little extra (Particularly in terms of tempos) and sound very aggressive. And despite it being near the end of the leg, Freddie's voice is in good shape.

The rock section of "Bohemian Rhapsody" is great, and close to the studio, "Ogre Battle" has some odd conservative phrasing in the bridge, but sounds good overall with Freddie hitting A4s on "The ogre men are STILL IN sight" similar to Boston, "Sweet Lady" is good, "White Queen" is great, with some nice sustains, "Flick Of The Wrist" has a mic drop-out in the second chorus, but sounds pretty good as a whole, the verses of "Bohemian Rhapsody" are good, "Killer Queen" is the typical great version for the time, "The March Of The Black Queen" is excellent with Freddie acing the A4s, the reprise of "Bohemian Rhapsody" sounds very good, bar a flat note on the first "Nothing really matters" and "Bring Back That Leroy Brown" is good.

"Brighton Rock" has Freddie cracking on "I say fareWELL" but is pretty good overall (The solo is top-notch too), what we have of "The Prophet's Song" sounds good, "Stone Cold Crazy" is lightning-fast and sounds great, "Doing All Right" is great, and then we hit a surprise! "Hangman" makes a rare, one-off appearance, in a shortened form. It's quite good, with nice A4s from Freddie. But if that wasn't enough, we then get the last performance of "Modern Times Rock And Roll"! The tempo is blistering, and it sounds great! Overall, these two are a nice surprise.

The rest of the show carries on normally. "Keep Yourself Alive" sounds good, "Liar" is very good with Freddie embellishing in spots and great instrumentals, "In The Lap Of The Gods...Revisited" has Freddie switching the lyrics around, but sounds good, "Now I'm Here" is great with Freddie acing those A4s, "Big Spender" is also great, with Freddie nailing the A4, and "Jailhouse Rock" is another strong energetic performance.

ENJOY!
