Growing old disgracefully

But I think, that it‘s more than time to release a live-recording:
I already heard „Under Pressure“ by QAL on the radio. I was told there was at least one other song regularly played on an Austrian radio-station (don’t remember, which one). Both must have been from the BBC NewYearsEve concert. It shows:The demand is there. And if they don’t release something, people find the songs somewhere else. Even if they are „crappy“ Youtube recordings..., as I have.
And I met several people at the merchandise stands of my last gigs, who where looking for a CD. They can’t have been longtime fans. But they just looked surprised and were disappointed, when they were told, that such thing doesn’t exist.

He just answered, that he already owns CDs with Mercury. He wanted a record of THIS show. And no, I don’t believe, he was a Glambert. More a casual fan, as most people at the gigs.
Edit: And I understand, when you won’t buy anything released by QAL. But saying, that people, who enjoyed this show, should go and buy recordings of old Queen live shows is just a nice suggestion. Most won’t do it, because they either already have them or it’s simply not , what they want. In the end it’s like apples and oranges. It’s simply not the same.
Sure, when you liked the show, many and younger fans do go home and dig deeper and find the old Queen. Some will love it -and that’s great- and some will just prefer QAL.
