What if Queen had played MTV Unplugged if Freddie hadnt died? What it have been like? Here is my setlist idea: 01. Liar (shortened version) 02. Friends Will Be Friends (opening guitar part done on piano) 03. White Queen 04. Drowse 05. Misfire (John on Guitar and Brian on piano for guitar fills) 06. Mad The Swine 07. Somebody To Love (shortened before Brians solo) 08. 39 09. Love of My Live 10. Some Day One Day 11. Cool Cat -encore 1- 12. Youre My Best Friend (Shortened) 13. Need Your Loving Tonight (would be great acoustic) 14. Radio Ga Ga (Keyboard parts are on piano) -encore 2- 15. Las Palabas De Amor (Taped Intro) 16. Dreamers Ball 17. Man On The Prowl 18. Crazy Little Thing Called Love -ending- Prossecion The setlist is different so that their are more acoustic songs |
| mooghead 02.07.2018 18:25 |
Realistically they would have pretty much played the hits. You have some fucking weird songs on there. Cool Cat??? Are you mental? |
| The Fairy King 02.07.2018 18:28 |
They would get the spelling right, that's for sure. :') |
| dysan 02.07.2018 19:52 |
Yes that seems a very likely set list |
| Kuijpy 02.07.2018 21:22 |
Wheres Hammer To Fall, Mother Down, Sail Away? What a douche.. |
| Dean_ 02.07.2018 22:32 |
Would've loved for Queen to do an acoustic show had things panned out differently. Such a tremendous catalog that you wonder how they'd have arranged some of the bigger tunes to fit that particular setting. |
| Haystacks Calhoun II 03.07.2018 02:14 |
They would have played a 47 minute version of Free Bird, followed by one verse of I Like Beer by Tom T. Hall. |
| Jimmy Dean 03.07.2018 04:39 |
i'll give it a shot: 1. Tie Your Mother Down (this would have been awesome as unplugged) 2. I Want To Break Free 3. The Miracle 4. '39 5. Dreamers Ball 6. Crazy Little Thing Called Love 7. Hammer To Fall (slow/fast) 8. Love Of My Life 9. Save Me 10. Under Pressure 11. A Kind Of Magic 12. These are The Days Of Our Lives 13. Bohemian Rhapsody unplugged (ie Layla unplugged) (encore) 14. Is This The World We Created 15. In The Lap Of The Gods...revisited 16. Spread Your Wings I don't think they would have touched the first 2 albums for an unplugged show and White Queen wouldn't work alongside most of their post 70s hits. They would have picked songs that *could* appeal to the MTV 90s crowd - ie. no opera and no Hot Space and no flamboyant tracks like Killer Queen and Don't Stop Me Now. And this would have likely taken place around 1993-1994... so BohRhap would be the showcase track due to Wayne's World. You can re-work BohRhap into a complete acoustic ballad the way Layla had been. They would have to drop the operatic section of course. |
| Dr Magus 03.07.2018 12:54 |
They would have played whichever songs from Wembley 86 worked acoustically plus TATDOOR. |

The only good thing about Freddie dying was that Queen never did any of these completely idiotic Unplugged things. Take your biggest hits, make them ridiculously boring, make them all sound the same and there you have it - a bigger collection of crap than Cosmos Rocks. Unfortunately, Brian did this and we now have the slow version of Hammer to Fall, which pretty much is the exact opposite of the awesome original version. |
| Sheldon 03.07.2018 16:00 |
My setlist: 1) '39 2) Love of My Life 3) Dreamer's Ball 4) Is this the World Then get out of there quckly before ruining any good high-energy songs. |
| Jimmy Dean 04.07.2018 01:27 |
guess you never got a chance to listen to nirvana's or clapton's set. |

Thank you for your sharing. Thanks to this article I can learn more things. Expand your knowledge and abilities. Actually the article is very practical. Thank you! link |

Great question as something similar was slated to happen in 2001 but didn't thanks to the USA and "Osama Bin Laden" (and possibly Israel) But you have NO familiarity with setting up a show like that and a song list to run THE ARC necessary to catch (mirroring the marriage bit "something old something new something borrowed something blue") Something to be familiar something unexpected (probably up front *BUT NOT A LONG SONG) something cheesy something fun something mesmerising something quick an old standard that floors the audience a cover to diffuse things/if not a cover then a reimagining of a tried and tested song a standard a request from audience (via poll) A closer a surprise powerful performance that kids nobody about who they are (*as with songs 3-6) WWRY middle song WATC .....everybody leaves shocked and inspired and wondering who the hell they just saw *(this was the 90's if QUEEN did it most hip family of the studio kids wouldn't know who the fuck they are) **Unaired performances 8-11 Deep cuts |
| matt z 04.07.2018 06:37 |
Here's my bit. It requires assuming they did it in 1990 TYMD (banter) Who Needs You Killer Queen (tease: Freddie was alive they'd get away with it)/Crazy Little Thing. .. Big Spender (banter early days) I Want it All (tease/vocals)/Fat Bottomed Girls AOBTD (melodious and sparse) My Melancholy Blues (oh that's so boring. ....like movies etc. ... glitz glam the fascinating artists and the flash of the camera. ..') Flash (tease)/Save Me BoRhap (possibly with choir dropping in)/strings (Banter "it's just a song, some will think we've ruined it etc etc") One from Brian..." 39' Sweet Lady tease/I'm in love with my car (Fred at piano) End w banter "always wanted to get that on the radio"...."only wanted fat bottomed girls" Ooohh........I'd sit alone (piano/vox) Radio Ga Ga Medley (audience claps incorporated) Ding ding ding ding Death on Two legs.... up until, "of you own! " Lazing on a Sunday.../Good Old Fashioned.../ (dark part) March of the Black Queen (possibly just the ending) (Reminiscing: "we were once a big Rock band, now playing charity shows. ..etc") UNAIRED: FATHER TO SON, White Queen (aired) Spread Your Wings (unaired) Sleeping on the Sidewalk (unaired) Dreamers Ball WWRY You Take My Breath Away (to audience hamming it up) WATC End. |
| Makka 04.07.2018 07:07 |
It's actually a really interesting question. Would of been great to see them do it. |
| Invisible Woman 04.07.2018 07:46 |
If they were to play on MTV Unplugged I would like to hear versions of Innuendo, I Want It All, It's A Hard Life, Killer Queen, A Kind of Magic, Who Wants To Live Forever, I'm Going Slightly Mad, Friends Will Be Friends, Rain Must Fall, I Was Born To Love You... |
| bucsateflon 04.07.2018 08:11 |
all lists suck ass |
| OhioMustapha 05.07.2018 22:20 |
OK if you guys didnt understand, the setlist is a big joke. Some Day One Day, Cool Cat? Seriously. Im not that stupid. |
| matt z 06.07.2018 01:10 |
Some day one day is perfect for that kind of set up. Brian Freddie and John on guitars Roger on brushes and gong ride. Cool cat would be wonderful on a vibraphone or hell even a kalimba and guitar. I thought u were serious. It IS a good question. Maybe to be rephrased as which songs could survive the acoustic treatment/fit the classic acoustic set NIGHT/DATR |

OMG....... Its just come to me...I've just clicked!!!! (Yes, it was painful too!!!) Queen have already done an unplugged!!!! Albeit not an official MTV unplugged but it's as close as an unplugged that we will ever get.... It's called 'QUEEN BBC SESSIONS ......... ' All because of Spread your wings BBC session came up on my random play list |

' All because of Spread your wings BBC session came up on my random play listNo. it's not "as close to an unplugged that we will ever get'...because it was not UNPLUGGED! The closest we'll get to UNplugged (yes, technically plugged in but 'acoustic') is the 'You're So Square'/'Hello Mary Lou'/Tutti Frutti' medley from '86. (or even Brian's acoustic 'Another World' sessions). |
| MisterCosmicc 09.07.2018 03:28 |
I hope they wouldn’t have done that. |
| dysan 09.07.2018 07:09 |
The acoustic sequence on LK is fantastic and I can't be alone in thinking LOML / 39 and DB top their studio album versions. Also there's a word on ITTWWC on LM that sounds like it was overdubbed in the studio later by Kermit the Frog. There's quite a good comp right, there with YTMBA / MMB from Rare Live and the Wembley '86 stuff. |
| dysan 09.07.2018 07:11 |
Actually if they did that, I bet they'd still graft on 'Guitar Solo' and 'Dayo'. |

Prolly something like this: Crazy Little Thing Called Love (a must) Tie Your Mother Down (Duh) Fat Bottomed Girls (for Murica) '39 (Duh) I Want It All (could work acoustic) Stripped down medley of some hits (Bo Rhap, Killer Queen, GaGa, Innuendo, etc) Another One Bites The Dust (Duh) Led Zep cover (Something from left field?) WWRY+Champions (Super duh) |
