"We Are the Champions" sounds *completely* different to me without "We Will Rock You"'s lead-in.


yes! maybe that's the ticket, gub!


Nifty segue from Queen into Zevon:  "Freddy gettin' ready, rock steady..."

VHM to Mr. Zevon. Dave has several songs he plays off this record, but I'd love to hear Tenderness on the Block just once.

i suppose it's all about how you sneak in "we are the champions." normally it sounds overplayed. but it sounded great right after miss tyler.


Probably the best use of Brian May's tone in any Queen song...


hmmm.......i could think of several others, including "mustapha." there is also an early works cassette i used to own that had great tone, but, unfortunately, i don't own it anymore, and i can't think of any of the songs on it, at the momtn.

Just look at the track list for Excitable Boy:

Johnny Strikes Up The Band
Roland The Headless Thompson Gunner
Excitable Boy
Werewolves Of London
Accidentally Like A Martyr
Nighttime In The Switching Yard
Veracruz
Tenderness On The Block
Lawyers, Guns And Money

What a solid effort, eh?

I was gonna say that nowadays it's hard to hear MJ signing about a 'dirty feeling' moving him.

WOS to Cars for killing the momentum.

And is it just my cheap speakers, or does KFOG overdo the bass absurdly in its web simulcast?

Well, it's 1978, Dave could play "Shakedown Street!"

Exactly--and we've heard at least five of those in various sets over the years: Johnny, Roland, Excitable Boy, Werewolves, and Lawyers. And maybe Nighttime in the Switching Yard too--can't recall. All of those got FM airplay when this came out.

I remember seeing Zevon play as the second band (Les Dudek opened, if anyone remembers him) at one of those Mountain Aire festivals up in the sierras that summer--great band--Warren on keys, Waddy Wachtel on guitar, Stanley Sheldon (see Frampton Comes Too Fast) on bass, can't recall who the drummer was. All of them looked incredibly hung over--they went on around noon and it was about 90 degrees out. I can still smell the essence of Hawaiian Tropic in the air from that day...
