Hmm, what's the source? Definitely not a live broadcast, as Brian's solo in Somebody To Love is clearly overdubbed @ 3:27:03. |

"Yes, you read that right. This is the FULL version of this concert, featuring the acts that were cut from the official 2013 DVD. I had to add a double screen in a few places to stop the video getting blocked." |

I remember watching this as a kid when it first aired on Finnish TV in the spring of 1992. I seem to remember that they also showed Breakthru video at some point. I haven't seen this repeated in any of the versions of this show since. Maybe It's a false memory. |

Thank you, regardless of overdubs, I've never seen the COMPLETE show I hope it stays up because I want to download it. having purchased the vhs AND dvd of this, it's been easy to be disappointed. thanks! |

A real shame that they didn't try to play Innuendo again after that concert. Musically, it didn't sound too bad. |

I remember listening to an interview Brian did on BBC radio I think it was, when he was promoting Another World, the DJ kept asking him about Queen and he kept changing the subject back to his solo stuff! I think in the end he was getting quite pissed off! I'll see if I can find a link somewhere.... |
| musicland munich 09.03.2017 01:18 |
For sure Deacy wanted to keep Queen alive for his purposes. Wonder if that Philips Camcorder was in use later that night, when he surprisingly showed off some serious triple neck bass skills ;) |

And it's a shame that John also then cut him off from Roger too - they could have worked together on separate things, even if Roger and Brian were being 'Queen'. I feel sad that John just stopped playing altogether (certainly publicly) as he would have been great forming his own soul/Motown/pop outfit and really showing what he could do bass-wise in that scenario. |

It seems like he's just trying to be a regular guy with no acknowledgement of his past whatsoever. Of all the reclusive rock stars, he as by far the biggest of them. Even Grace Slick does the odd interview. There is literally one video of the man in the last 20 years, and it looks like he's having a panic attack because ten fans wanted an autograph. Something definitely happened to the poor guy in the 90s. |

I've heard that Brian and Roger continue to ask John to play with them every time they tour, and they always receive no response. Heartwarming, if true. (the asking, not the radio silence.) Brian coming back in may well be entirely coincidental. Things still managed to hold together for about three years before Deacon left. |
| scottmax 14.03.2017 06:57 |
When did John actually 'retire'? Was it around the time of the Robbie Williams thing or before that? |
| Saint Jiub 14.03.2017 13:16 |
I suspect that the Bejart Ballet performance in 1997 was the "turning point" ... I recall that Jacky Gunn speculated at a North American Queen convention (in the early2000's), that John might have been averse to performing without "Freddie to hide behind". I wonder what John thought about "getting the racing car out of the garage" LOL link |
| Chrisallstar 14.03.2017 13:44 |
It is an interesting period in Queen's history. I remember reading an article written by Jacky Smith of the fan club and she visited Brian, Roger and John who were all in Roger's studio (along with Spike) - she went there to get merchandise signed to give away at the next convention. Anyway she said as she walked back to her car she could here the opening bars to Innuendo being played live and she sat and listened for a bit. This always fascinates me that the three guys were in the studio around 1997/98 for some reason and that they were rehearsing tracks. Also interesting that they would choose to play Innuendo. Then in one of the fan club magazines in the news section it was reported that John had a small studio built in his house and he had remixed 'there must be more to life than this'. So it seems he was keen to keep active up until 1998 when after Brian and Roger's solo albums he decided that enough was enough. Maybe it was the beginning of these ridiculous collaborations with Five and Robbie Williams that made him realise that their best days were behind them. Maybe had Brian and Roger not embarked on solo material and tours in 1998 and instead had worked on Queen as a three piece then John would have continued for a little while longer. I also remember a fan club lettter than Brian wrote around this time stating that he, Roger and John frequently talk and that they almost decided to do a Queen tour..."but there were problems..." In any event we'll never know why John retired but I don't think Brian or Roger can be blamed and perhaps it is someone said above that he didn't feel confident that they could do it anymore - his reaction at being asked for autographs after the WWRY premiere is difficult to watch. Or maybe his wife was annoyed at his obsession with lap dancers and grounded him... |

According to your 2013 QOL alterego, the Innuendo incident and the remix both occurred in 1996. From QueenOnLine ... Re: Deacon/Mercury Postby Chrisallstar » Fri Aug 30, 2013 10:20 pm I remember reading a few fan club articles in 1996; in one Jacky Smith was describing visiting Roger's studio with some merchandise for the band to sign, she said that Brian, Roger and John were there and as she was leaving she heard the opening bars of Innuendo drift across the car park. S they were obviously rehearing for something and John was happy to take part. This was also the year that John had a studio built in his home and remixed "There Must Be More To Life Than This". link Also per Adam "U": It states in the Autumn 1996 issue of the Fan Club Magazine: "John had a small studio built in his home and will concentrate on remixes, some production and other projects. He in fact did a remix of a Freddie track, There Must Be More To Life Than This for possible use on a future Queen compilation album." link ... The Bejart ballet performance by Queen & Elton John was in January 1997 link ... By March 1997, per a "Queen Rocks" interview, John Deacon dropped off of Brian and Roger's radar and was doing "secret Deaky things": What about John Deacon? Was he involved in the compilation of the album? Where is he today? Roger: Great question! (laughter) Brian: These are very difficult questions. Roger: He's a complete mystery to us, I mean. Brian:He's generally involved at a distance. He's very much involved, but he doesn't get involved in the "day-to-day" bits of pieces, I guess Roger and I do that really. Where is he today? He's at home, I think. But he does secret things, secret "Deaky things". Base players do that. (laughter) Roger: But he's never been seen spending money though. link link |

I recorded the concert as I watched it live in 1992.I was loved how they inserted clips of Freddie /Queen in amongst the Live performances, although it was tinged with sadness it was a great celebration of Freddies life and work. I remember welling up a bit when Extreme performed Love Of My Life, I wasn't quite sure what on earth to make of Spinal Tap(at that time I hadn't seen the film), and I was spellbound as the remaining three members took to the stage and played their hearts out. I especially enjoyed hearing the Live renditions of I Want It All, Innuendo, Days Of Our Lives and Las Palabras De Amor (a personal favourite). One thing I noticed - when Zucchero appeared, did I hear the keyboard intro to A Kind Of Magic (live version), which ended rather abruptly, or was I imagining things? |
| Chrisallstar 15.03.2017 19:31 |
Apparently Chris Thompson was meant to perform A Kind Of Magic. Chris rehearsed with Brian, Roger and John to make sure they were familiar at playing all the hits before the guest vocalists turned up to rehearse |
| beemack74 16.03.2017 07:10 |
Thanks, Chrisallstar, I wasn't aware of that. I presume it was dropped at the very last minute, hence the short intro on the night? |

The best of moment of this concert is John talking in front of a massive audience. You can see he's feeling uncomfortable but still delivers. Especially the "METALLICA!" part. |

Enough years had to pass before he could talk openly about this, I guess. It's long past the point of ever working with any of these people again. He did the gig like a champ, but I can't blame him for being sour about it even 20 years later. Zucchero and Lisa Stansfield were given precedence over him - that's gotta sting. |

Sucks about Chris Thompson, he would have done a great job of AKOM. Manfred Mann's Earth Band were best with Mick Rogers on vox though. |
