Comments:
Complete soundboard recording of the legendary show in Hyde Park.
Unfortunately, the recording is muddy so the sound is not perfect as there is some distorsion and some tape hiss but it is still enjoyable.
This concert was short because Queen were threatened to be thrown in jail if they played an encore after In The Lap Of The Gods... Revisited.
The performance is not great as they all sound very nervous, especially Freddie and Brian and there are some technical problems during the gig. In particular, the echo delay did not work during The Prophet's Song. Freddie tries desesperatly doing something right during the vocal improvisation but it is really difficult to him.
In spite of being one the worst performances of Queen, it is still nice to have a complete decent recording of this legendary concert.
