Queen
Houston, TX, USA
The Summit
December 11, 1977
This is the best and most complete copy of the Houston material I could muster.
Video Master > PAL VHS (2?) > DVD (0) > WAV (GoldWave fixes) > FLAC level 8
* The fast version of We Will Rock You mostly comes from the Greatest Video Hits 1 DVD. The quality change is noticeable when the two parts seamlessly cut out of that version are filled with the raw video source.
Included as a bonus track is the clip of Tie Your Mother Down from soundcheck, as heard at the Stormtroopers at Stilletoes exhibition in 2011.

Enjoy, and keep it lossless !
The Millionaire Waltz was one of the Absolute Greatest Streaming Video bonus and My Melancholy Blues was the B-side of The Miracle, it was a bonus of the Absolute Greatest Video and of the iTunes Video Download, I think the quality is much better on these sources
My Melancholy Blues was included on both the 2009 Absolute Greatest (this version sucks), and the 2011 iTunes bonus video (this version rocks), The Millionaire Waltz was included in the 2009 Absolute Greatest release, and (I think) is comparable to the VHS version :)

If you or someone else can upload an audio rip of these songs, I can merge them in.. :-)

Thanks for posting these. But I don't think I'm going to use them.
They're lossy, and you can really hear the digital noise, especially in the quieter moments.
And holy loudness war ... geez.

and what about my melancholy blues from the miracle cd single?
Bob thanks for being so generous, one of the best quality shows and most worthwhile from the NOTW tour, just a pity they didn't include "It's Late" in the set that night!

and spread your wings... it seems strange to me that neither of these two songs weren't played that night!

They weren't played in New York 12-2-77 either. But they played Doing All Right that night.
In Toronto they didn't even play Now I'm Here. And there were at least two performances of Sleeping On The Sidewalk.
There was a lot of setlist experimentation in late 77. We can only wonder what other goodies transpired on this tour...
Thanks a lot for sharing this.
Houston was a great concert by Queen, and "Love of my Life" was something special. It would later evolve into something huge, but i love it's inicial raw feeling of the NOTW tour.
