It's already been a week since the release of "HAMMERSMITH ODEON 1979", the most classic sound source of the 1979 "CRAZY TOUR". The latest definitive version of the sound source that recorded Queen's last stage in 1979 with the best audience recording has appeared, but in the first place "CRAZY TOUR" is extremely popular among maniacs as a time when Freddie is consistently at his best. On the contrary, it is common knowledge among enthusiasts that it has a high energy performance that easily surpasses Hammersmith Odeon. Even when looking at Queen's career in 1979, the “CRAZY TOUR” period shined in a special way. It was one of the best nights during that peak period, and in fact, Freddie was probably the best in Queen's live history. It was at Newcastle City Hall on December 4, 1979 that they were in great shape. Every day on “CRAZY TOUR”, from the opening, the intense performance unfolded easily as if the excitement was about to explode, but on this day it felt like the climax had already reached the next level, and the performance was crisp. It's so spectacular that you can understand it at first listen. It is well known that "Somebody To Love" is the barometer for measuring how well Freddie is performing in the first half of a Queen live performance, but the level of enthusiasm with which Freddie sings here is definitely a "10" out of 10. Fierce. Immediately after the performance begins, Freddie is at full throttle, screaming as he pleases without restraining his voice. After that, he took control of the live performance, or the band entrusted everything to Freddie, who was doing well, and a tremendous performance was unfolded. When it comes to live Freddy, it's funny how he sings with the melody and key lowered to protect his throat. It's a specialty level, and it's not really surprising, but on this day he broke away from his usual pattern and sang an incredibly aggressive song. The excitement in "Now I'm Here" is even more intense than in "CRAZY TOUR," which is already high in tension, and it's so intense that it makes you shiver when you listen to it. In front of such reliable Freddie, the band will respond by taking up “Liar” on stage for the first time in a year. Seeing Freddie and the band in action, the audience got excited by singing "Spread Your Wings" (Freddie was the best here) and the recent hit "Crazy Little Thing Called Love." In particular, the chorus in the latter is a sight that was also seen in Hammersmith, but at this point, although it stirred excitement, it did not become a reprise, and instead started “Bohemian Rhapsody”. Such "Bohemian Rhapsody" is the best performance at Newcastle December 4th. After all, Freddie calmly sang phrases similar to the melody line of the album version, and in particular, the scene where he sang "So you think you can love me and leave me to die? oh, baby" without lowering the melody line was stunned. The impact is so impressive. The sound quality of this famous performance December 4, 1979 Newcastle is also the monaural quality of the 70s, common audience recording quality, and it is not at a level that is suitable for everyone. In the past, there was only a CD called "CRAZY IN NEWCASTLE". That in itself was enough to please enthusiasts, but when it was released, equalization was added (it was unpopular overseas because the sound quality deteriorated), and the pitch deviation was ignored. The significance of the release of the masterpiece that made a specialty magazine say, ``Bohemian Rhapsody'' is perhaps the best of all live takes, has faded. Because the sound image has a sense of distance, when releasing, do not add unnecessary equalization, but rather focus on adjusting the pitch. As I mentioned earlier, it is basically a sound source for enthusiasts, but it was still a very enjoyable item. As I have written so far, the performance centered around Freddie is a magnificent word. If you are an enthusiast who is used to audience recording, it is a series of scenes that will make you want to put effort into your hands and say, “This is such an amazing performance...”.
