23. Tie Your Mother Down (Queen-Live At The Hammersmith: 12/26/1979)

Here’s a concert that I personally have loved since I first discovered the unofficial concerts of Queen. This was in fact, the FIRST unofficial Queen concert I have watched on Youtube, and this was my VERY FIRST Queen bootleg! This is the famous Hammersmith 1979 gig, every Queen fan should know about. One of the nicknames for this gig is "Hammy 1979." The quality is fantastic, and it's 100% complete! With this concert uploaded, we have ALL the Crazy Tour concerts available on my channel! Now, pick your favorites! Haha! Despite being the last show on the tour, Freddie's voice is still in great shape: He pulls out top renditions of "We Will Rock You (both fast/slow)" "Let Me Entertain You," "Somebody To Love," "You're My Best Friend," "Save Me," "Now I'm Here," "Don't Stop Me Now," "Crazy Little Thing Called Love," "Bohemian Rhapsody," "Tie Your Mother Down," and "We Are The Champions." I personally believe that his best rendition of Don't Stop Me Now comes from this concert. However, although his voice is still tops--it's not quite at "Newcastle level": His voice isn't quite as fresh-sounding (his vibrato isn't as prominent as it was on the earlier gigs), and some of the higher notes on this gig, aren't quite as clean-sounding as they were earlier (AKA a few more cracks/breaks than normal). Overall, his voice is still great and this will shape up to be an epic concert! ENJOY!!!
