Queen - Spread Your Wings (1977 - 1979) Queen Live Montage - Live Killers
Music video for the Live Killers version of John Deacon’s hit-song “Spread Your Wings“ released on News of the World (which is probably my favourite) album in 1977, then as a single with “Sheer Heart Attack“ on B-side in 1978. This particular version comes from Live Killers - Queen’s 1979 live album, which was recorded during their European tour and later overdubbed in studio. Recording date is unknown. Video recordings come from multiple Queen live performances like Paris 1979 and Brussels 1979.
First Spread Your Wings performance took a place on 11th November 1977, but the only available complete video footage at the moment is Paris 1979, which is average-quality one-camera recording. The second most-complete is probably Brussels 1979, which emerged recently in a great quality.
Queen Live Montage is my own idea of making compilations. It’s similar to videos like “Queen Through The Years“, but not exactly. Those videos are usually quite random, poorly edited with multiple audio sources etc.
My Queen Live Montages series is different - it uses only one audio source per video, I don’t mix videos with different aspect ratios. The idea is to make a CONSISTENT and aesthetic compilations by using best available video feeds. And - the most important point - to show the most interesting moments and the best angles.
