Session 2 (7/25/73): One of the deepest cuts found in the set as a whole, is a non-album track. “See What a Fool I’ve Been” is a traditional blues number and Queen display their abilities to rock, what seems to be a work in progress. Later, “Fool” would be released as the B-side to “Seven Seas of Rhye”. Hard core fans can compare the two versions and would certainly note the various differences in the lyrics and composition. Queen certainly recorded blues oriented songs, but none so forward as this blistering rocker. “Son and Daughter” also stands out. It’s raw and filled with a slew of interesting quirks. At one point, it sounds as if motion picture laser gun sound effects are sharing space with the rhythm section, but it turns out that the band had been fiddling with overdubs of May’s noodling and liked what they heard, thus deciding to keep the errant squeals for good measure.
Session 4 (4/3/74): Taylor’s “Modern Times Rock ‘n’ Roll” (Queen) offers up alternate lyrics and a slide whistle to boot! May’s guitar work is amazing. There are more layered riffs and fills than recognizable on the original album’s recording. Taylor sounds great on lead vocals and could easily be mistaken for a young Rod Stewart from his early days in the Faces. The change in tempo, slower than the original and in Session 3’s, offers a bit more breathing room for the listener to really hear what’s going on between all of the instruments. Taylor’s and Mercury’s back and forth at the song’s conclusion is just plain fun too.
Session 5 (10/16/74): “Now I’m Here” (Sheer Heart Attack) offers up slight variations from the more widely known version. It’s just slightly more laid back and it has a bit more of a groove that supports Mercury’s vocals are far sexier than what’s found on the album. The band was clearly locked in with each other and on a mission to rock and roll.
May’s “It’s Late”, which initially chimes in like a ballad, soon punches in with a distorted six-string-vengeance and fury. Queen must have been having a grand time experimenting with this take, as they decided to augment this track with close to three minutes of echoing vocal improvisation akin to their live performance of World’s “Get Down Make Love”.
This final session ends with a deep cut, Mercury’s “My Melancholy Blues”. It’s somewhat similar to the original version, except that May offers up a subtle series of bluesy guitar fills not heard on the original album cut. This version also ends with Freddie singing the last line and substituting the last two words with just a flippant laugh. It’s a fun and fitting conclusion to the last of the BBC recordings.
And finally, for the Queen collector, there are three more discs of interviews with each member of the band, dating back to 1976 and up through 1992. In the 220 minutes of interviews, the band works with Britain’s best known presenters and broadcasters as they discuss their band’s genesis and history, musical heroes and influences, touring, fans, recording, life on stage and off, and most momentous, the last ever interview with all four members together.
After a recent rash of impressive releases from Queen, none can top this collection. On Air culminates a most eclectic combination of studio recordings, live concert recordings and interviews that, once again, demonstrate how and why Queen became one the greatest bands in rock and roll history. This royal package should not be overlooked!
