After over a year of filling up my harddrive with great concerts from Queenzone, it's time to start giving back. This isn't much, I know, but it's a start... 60-second radio ad for the Queen concert on November 4, 1978, at the Lakeland Civic Center in Lakeland, Florida. First few seconds of the ad are missing. The radio ad doesn't mention the year, but according to QueenConcerts.com they only played two shows in Lakeland and the 1978 show was on a Saturday. link 98Rock was (and still is) an FM radio station in Tampa, Florida, which is about 30 miles from Lakeland. Found this tape (with 3 others) about 15 years ago in the bottom of a box on the floor in a great record store in Tampa, FL. The other tapes had some Queen rarities (Larry Lurex, Smile, etc.) and some interviews on them recorded, I think, off the air, including a Midnight Special appearance from TV (audio only, of course). I haven't found the other tapes yet. Anyone else have any Queen radio ads? |

Thanks alot for the ad's! Nice quality! THANKS! |

Anyone else have any other radio/tv ads for Queen concerts, and/or any other Queen promos? |

The strange thing was the radio promoting a Queen 1978 concert with songs from thei first four albums with focus on QueenII. Is this really 78? Because it would make more sense to hear WATC or WWRY or the Rock songs. Thanks for sharing. Take care |

Wow these are awesome! Thanks for posting. I remember when 98Rock sponsored ARCA races at Daytona! |

I guess we have to take his word. :) As far as the promo with Killer Queen and others, this doesn't mean anything, that is what they were famous for at that point, why no BoRap is a good question, but i would think no WWRY or WATC because this was early 78 and WWRY & WATC didn't enter the Billboard in the US until 78. |

I'd say the given date is correct, because the 11-4-78 show was on a Saturday night, and the ticket price is correct (unlike the 2-20-77 show). link link Thanks for sharing this promo! I love hearing this stuff. The Midnight Special appearance you mentioned sounds incredibly interesting. Can you tell us something about it? |

I was really surprised Queen only performed in Lakeland twice. I did find the other interview tapes. As for the Midnight Special tape, it's not a live performance by Queen. Four or five videos were shown, some edited, and a brief history of the group was given by the great Wolfman Jack. I'll upload Wolfman Jack's narration tomorrow if anyone's interested (again, this is audio only, recorded from the TV's speaker). Another tape is labeled "Off the Record Part 1" from 15 Nov 1981, recorded from 95FM. The second tape just says "Freddie Mercury Interview Tape 2", but I suspect it's the following week's "Off the Record". The last tape is a compilation tape made by someone named Yvonne, who included a nice track list. Side 1 is rare songs (or songs that were rare 20 years ago): Man From Manhattan, I Wanna Testify, Turn on the TV, See What A Fool I've Been, and both Larry Lurex and Smile tracks. Side 2 is the interviews: -German interview with Queen 1979 -Dutch interview with Brian after "Crazy Tour" 1979 -Merry Christmas wishes -Interview with Roger after "Future Management" 1980 -Music Life wishes 1981 It ends with a very poor audience recording of 5 songs from "9-12-80 Wembley" (Imagine/Battle Theme/Flash/The Hero/Brighton Rock). This stuff is rather common now, as I was able to track down the German interview and Roger's interview on YouTube. The other three interviews are probably there as well. I'll try to listen to the FM interview tomorrow. |

I suspect they may be the same as yours. Could you give a brief description of what they talk about. Also, the Dutch 1979 Brian interview sounds new to me, though it may be that I have it listed as something else. Any further info is greatly appreciated. |

Thanks for taking the time to post all that, Bill. But I do have most of what you mention. Sure, you can upload the Wolfman Jack narration if you feel it offers anything interesting. :) |

Also, the Dutch 1979 Brian interview sounds new to me, though it may be that I have it listed as something else. Any further info is greatly appreciated.This is a very short interview of Brian in what sounds like a night club. Don't know if it was originally a TV interview or not. Can't find it on youtube. He's first asked about the "quite a different record (Crazy Little Thing Called Love) than the other Queen records. Why is that?" Then asked if the rest of the album will sound like that? "We have 6 or 7 tracks in the can... they all sound quite different... next single will be a little bit back to the original Queen style... called "Save Me"... going back into the studio in February... album out in early summer, hopefully" Flash Gordon "under discussion at the moment... we hope to do it, I think it will be exciting" One more question, when will Queen perform in Holland again? "It's hard to know, buy we're talking about putting another European tour together..." "Thank you for giving us another gold, uh, platinum disc with "Crazy Little Thing". That's amazing, we appreciate it very much..." Interview ends with Brian saying "Thank you Dutch folks, you're great to us, we'll be back soon." |
