Queen live at Oakland Coliseum Arena in Oakland, CA, USA - September 7, 1982 (Part-1)
Tumblr media
(x)
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
The band are in great form tonight, full of vitality and passion. Only the intro of Rock It is performed from now onward. When the vocal is expected to re-enter after the rhythm section joins in, the band jump into the first verse of the fast We Will Rock You. John Deacon's bass solo after the second chorus is aggressive, and overall the band are clearly happy to be playing the longer version of the song again - although they do have a bit of trouble getting out of the middle section together, but they recover well. Freddie offers a great version of Play The Game. After the song, he has a word with the enthusiastic audience. "So here we are, back again in Oakland after a long time. Has everybody been keeping okay since we've been away?" Naturally everyone says "yeah", and Freddie replies, "Bullshit!" He continues, "Anyway, we have a lot of new songs for you since we were here last, and this next one is a song for all the girls here tonight, you know what I mean? The real girls. If you've got tits or if you haven't got tits it don't matter." The girls quickly stop cheering as Freddie is just trying too hard when he actually doesn't have to. He attempts to recover, "You just don't understand English. It doesn't matter. This is a Roger Taylor composition [the mention of Roger's name gets the girls screaming again] entitled Calling All Girls." Just before the first chorus of the song, Freddie adlibs, "I've got a message for you babe!" After the second chorus, following "take a message of love for all to hear," he adds to the energy with a few spontaneous words: "Have you got it? Can you hear it? Can you feel it?" Tonight is the first known performance of the Hot Space rocker Put Out The Fire, segueing from the vocal improv of Now I'm Here (Freddie doesn't have the lyrics perfected yet, which suggests it hasn't been performed too many times - fan club magazines from the period say the song was performed as a standalone piece earlier in the tour). After the second chorus, the band seamlessly jump into Dragon Attack. The combination of these three songs seems to recall the medley idea that had been dropped in 1981. After Now I'm Here, Freddie challenges the audience to one of his usual vocal duels. For the first time, he is heard singing "Dee do de de", something that would become part of the lyrics of "Living On My Own" off his first solo album in 1985. Shortly thereafter, after an "alright" that's held for a few seconds, he shouts, "You can do it!" in encouragement, after which he says, "Not bad! It's amazing what you will do if you're pushed." He really takes a liking to this audience. During the next song, Save Me, instead of singing the line "I love you 'til I die," he speaks the words "I love ya", and during the three quiet beats leading into the first chorus, he quickly and poignantly adds, "don't forget it!" Freddie once again dedicates Fat Bottomed Girls to "people who like fucking a lot." In the second verse of Crazy Little Thing Called Love, he modifies a lyric to say "she knows how to fuck and roll." One can draw their own conclusions as to where Freddie Mercury's mind was at on this tour. He turns in a very passionate version of Bohemian Rhapsody (despite not being in full voice by the end of the show), where everything seems to come home to him. Only he knew what the song really meant, but plenty have suggested that the proverbial man being killed in the first verse as told to his mother is his former self that had not yet come to terms with his sexuality. A clash of worlds in 1982, if that's the case. Matt Granz (also with a story from San Francisco '77) fondly shares his memories of this show here:
“This photo is from Queen's last Bay area show ever with Freddie Mercury. With the new direction that they took with the album "The Game" Brian May stated that Queen had "gained the world, but lost America". I think that after they played a Los Angeles gig or two after this particular show that they never did come back to the US. That is truly sad since they were one of the most charismatic of all rock groups to ever play on a stage. This concert was no exception! This photo was taken during Brian's echo solo. The three lights backlighting Brian belonged to one of two manned light pods that followed him around the stage. It was a spectacular effect!
The friend I went to the concert with (who's name I can't even begin to recall) took his SLR 35mm and I took a pocket fixed focus... after seeing me lament over the bad quality of my images he took mercy on me and sold me this memory as an 8x10 B&W Glossy that I kept secured in a folder... and just recently rediscovered and decided to digitize these many years later. My own pics from the concert all came out underexposed... drat! His SLR had some great lenses and he had his own darkroom. He also had great access to many good spots to shoot from.
By the way… remember the days when you didn't need a press badge to bring a camera to a concert? What happened??? Lawyers, I'll tell ya... Lawyers.
The story behind the Flying V being utilized was that at the very onset of his Echo solo, Brian busted a string on the "Red Special". He waked backstage and then shortly reappeared with this guitar. The sound was quite different. After the solo was done fifteen minutes later, he took back his own guitar and proceeded to use it for the rest of the show. It was pretty unusual to see him playing this and (besides the Tele he plays on Crazy Little Thing Called Love for the songs' first solo) have not seen him play another electric besides his main axe that he and his father made.
I was pretty poor at the time, but I liked this photo enough to buy it because of the before mentioned spectacular lighting and the fact that Brian is playing a Flying V.
Though I was not a fan of The Game, this concert was superb! I came to see Brian (being a guitarist myself) and was amazed at how distracted I was by the rest of the band. They were flawless that night and the floor seats I snuck into... 20 rows from the stage... provided the perfect viewing experience. The light show was also the best I had ever seen as well, in that it didn't distract from the music or musicians but rather pulsated perfectly with the beats and saturated the stage with great color combinations.
Freddie, Brian, Roger & John all had the whole auditorium held by the throat from the very start of the show till the last fading notes of "God Save the Queen". Sheer Excellence!” Most of the photos were taken by Sean Trend. A few of the pictures show Brian with the Gibson Flying V, as he had played in East Rutherford last month. But this time he begins his solo with the Flying V, as confirmed by someone who attended the show. Brian, in disbelief, later commented on this: http://www.brianmay.com
“Well, I'm shocked. I definitely would have sworn that I never played a solo live with a Flying V. I played around with them, but mainly at home, except for one video appearance for "Princes of the Universe" in which I'm obviously not really playing!!!
Cheers Bri”

hi!! new follower here and i gotta say ur one of the most levelheaded czennies I've come across this webbed site bc everyone else tends to be edgy for no reason but anyway 😗...have u made a definitive list of the best songs off resonance so far?? i really liked this album tbh... I wasn't around for empathy so when I listened to it it felt like a compilation if that makes sense?? resonance used the nct u concept so much better and gave us different types of music to enjoy which i personally love but it seems im in the minority in that respect as well😂 love ur blog and have a great day!!
omg hi and thank you so much!! i think the edginess thankfully is more prevalent on twitter than it is here, but maybe that’s just the people i follow on here that kind of saves me from that 😗you know, i made a ranking of the first part of resonance but it doesn’t include the second part, but there are some really good songs on it! to be honest, i really loved the album when i first listened to it, but i don’t know if it was all the drama that happened or the amount of time this comeback has unfolded through but i kind of feeling less inclined towards it, and there are some songs i think that still have to grow on me, the way they’ve been produced....but honestly the songs i go back to the most are make a wish, light bulb, i.o.u, from home, music, dance, faded in my last song, 90s love, and all the interludes/outro. i just kind of wish a few songs were....produced better and not as disjointed or reminiscent of older songs (volcano/boss). overall, i think it is really great that they incorporated all the members into distinct units, but for me, there’s just something that hits different for me in the empathy tracks im particularly attached to, but maybe that has to do with distance and kind of holding them on a pedestal because theyre just such iconic songs....
but i totally get you mean about empathy! i mean if you think about it the 7th sense was released way before empathy came out but it was included, and there are more distinct nct units (bds, boss, yestoday) that may make the group look more disjointed than a coherent group? and you’re also right in the respect that it does feel more like a medley, because i only really listen to my fav tracks on it, but the songs on there that are good are all title track worthy (which they all were pretty much)....like even black on black is such an iconic song, so i think the album is more emblematic of nct as a project, whereas what we got from resonance were good b-sides but they just don’t have the same hype (besides make a wish and i do think it deserved that hype). but you know, im so glad we got songs like i.o.u, nectar, faded in my last song from this kind of project, you’re right, the music was very diverse and in that sense, this album was very different than empathy
i think also for me im ready to take a break from all the 90s homage like give me something new give me something NEO. i guess this is me just missing 127′s music tho, like simon says, limitless, chain, but it would have elevated the album to have a song like that on these

You missed your usual reacting to the highlight reel post... Are you going to be reacting to the album this time?
I MEAN HECK THE ALBUM CAME OUT LITERALLY A MONTH AGO AND THIS ASK HAS BEEN SITTING IN MY INBOX SINCE THEN AND I STILL HAVEN’T DONE MY ALBUM REACTION GHJKL; 
Anyway like... I have the day off and for once I’m not insanely busy or seriously sick so... HECK LET’S DO AN ALBUM REACTION FINALLY 
Track 1 - Good To Me
Actually, when I heard this track on the highlight medley, the first thing that stuck out to me was the “woah”s in the chorus,  but listening to the song, my actual favorite part is the pre-chorus. I’ve always loved Seungkwan’s prechoruses and DK’s bridges because they usually come right after the non-melodic rap part and just like, suddenly flow into this beautiful vocal section. Another thing I appreciate is that I don’t feel like Seventeen has ever done this concept as a full group. It’s got the attitude of a hiphop unit song and more or less the general fullness of a perf unit song, but somehow it blends super seamlessly into Seventeen’s general concept and each of the members fully live up to the potential. Normally here I’d say “I’m looking forward to seeing the dance” but I don’t actually have to look forward cause I waited so long to write this out, and just let me say that the dance is great. I love how the dance could’ve been a lot more simplistic but instead they chose to go all in on the choreo, but it’s still not cluttered in the end. It’s not my absolute favorite dance, but it’s definitely A Good Dance.
Track 2 - Home
Hoo boy do I have a lot to say about our title track this time. Stylistically, it reminds me of Without You, which I was actually pretty disappointed in. But Home absolutely doesn’t disappoint. It kind of mixes the emotion of Without You with the sincerity of Thanks and it works super well for the concept. Another thing I feel like they pulled well is the Imogen-Heap-style voice synth on the prechorus, and especially choosing Hoshi-The8-Dino for the first verse lead up. Hoshi and Dino both used voice synth in Still Lonely and a few of the perf unit tracks and it almost always works great for them, but this one especially. Originally, Imogen Heap used it for a lot of songs where there’s minimal backing track, most notably Hide-and-Seek which has No Instrumentals. Seventeen uses it to the same effect, with only a beat going and an occasional piano. It makes it sound so full but so empty at the same time and it’s absolutely perfect for the mood. Another note is that during a good amount of the song there’s this pulsing synth that comes and goes. It starts the song underneath the percussion and actually continues until the prechorus at varying levels of volume until it drops out suddenly (emphasizing the lack of melody in the voice synth prechorus!!) and it doesn’t show up again until the middle of the chorus where we hear a very filtered version, once more fading in and out behind the vocals. And then suddenly, out of nowhere, for the drop, it becomes clear (maybe on a different synth? I’m not sure) that isn’t pulsing and the most important melody line in the chorus drop. It’s this like... melodic thread that runs through the song. At first it sounds sort of like it’s out of place and not following the same beat as the song, but then as the song goes on it becomes more and more familiar. The absence of this synth also emphasizes important parts, like the lead up to the chorus and it gives the song this really longing feeling. I also want to note that a lot of people have said the song feels really short and almost unresolved, like you want to listen to it over and over because it never feels like the song ends, it just hangs. I agree and I love that. The last note echoes and pulses and fades but it just suddenly feels... really empty and I think that enhances the concept. I really love Home and the general vibe it has. Also! I wasn’t gonna mention this but I have to give a shout out for Seventeen still using Animal-crossing-esque melodies on synths in both Home and Good To Me. They did it previously on Monday to Saturday and it always amused me. Anyway.
Track 3 - Hug  
Your local Ballad Anti is here once again to say... I don’t really have a lot to say on Hug. The lyrics are super sweet, of course. I’m a little sad it never builds instrumental-wise, but it really is supposed to be this minimalistic ballad. I’m not really sure what else to comment on besides the lyrics, and there’s not even that many lyrics. It’s not Vocal Unit’s best ballad, but it’s definitely not horrible? It’s sweet and sad but it’s just not much I can talk about.
Track 4 - Chilli
Okay it’s about to get weird because y’all. I LOVE Chilli. I’ve only seen lukewarm comments about it so far, and that makes me sad, but I kind of get it. From the point of view of a hiphop unit stan it might feel like a weird style, and from the point of view of a total SVT stan it might seem silly. But here’s the thing - I have always thought of Lo-Fi Hip Hop as a winter genre. Something about the instrumentals and tones common in the Low-Fi genre just reminds me of a grey January morning where it’s freezing outside and you hunker down on your couch with a blanket and a cocoa and just keep yourself occupied, and when I first heard the teaser I was preparing myself to be sad when they let me down by not making the lyrics Winter-Centric but Y’ALL THEY DID THAT I finally have my gloomy winter low-fi jam and I’m just... I’m just so happy that someone took advantage of this association. It’s a little bit silly but I feel like Hip Hop Unit has always kind of had this playful vibe to them for some of their album tracks and I’m glad they don’t always take themselves so seriously that it restricts their style.
Track 5 - Shh
Okay here’s where I get critical again. I had a really hard time liking shh when I first heard it cause it starts with this really funky bassline way in the back of the mix and I was so looking forward to them bringing it up in the mix and making the chorus just like, all super funky basswork and then it just kind of disappeared and it never came back. It just made me super disappointed that the bass never became a super important part of the song,. At some point someone mentioned that it sounded like a Taemin song and I relistened to it and that helped me be able to separate it in my mind from the song I had hoped it would be and now it’s not so disappointing anymore. It’s definitely an interesting style for Performance Unit and I think they do it well. It’s not as Overwhelmingly Awesome as Swimming Fool or Lilili Yabbay in my mind, but I can solidly say now I do like the song. BUT NEXT TIME I BETTER HEAR SOME FUNKY BASS IF THEY’RE GONNA COMMIT TO A FUNKY SONG.
Track 6 - Getting Closer
Y’all know me. I’ve been here since day 1. Technically. like, day 3. But the point remains that I have seen many a “Dark Seventeen” concept teaser and rumor come and go with no fruit. And while it may not be my favorite song, this song ticks off a lot of boxes from the old “if Seventeen ever actually tries a dark concept here’s what it should sound like”. Sometimes I look back at where Dark Seventeen came from and get emo about how far we’ve come. On the actual song, though, not just the concept, there are a lot of things I like about it. For starters, beginning the song with Mingyu is a really good move. The “deo deo deo” fits his vocal tone as well as just being generally great, and then following it right up with Wonwoo is fantastic. Hoshi and Dino are always a great combo, and the first verse chorus leadup is a perfect example. Jun’s “boom boom boom boom” is my life, and Woozi’s first chorus line is everything to me. Jun and Joshua’s low, melodic start to the second verse adds a really good level of quiet intensity to the song and I love that, and then Woozi and The8′s higher tones parallel Hoshi and Dino’s leadup for the second chorus, and UGH I just love a lot about this song. And the bridge with the almost... guns cocking for the percussion while Seungkwan kills those vocals is also just, great. Some disappointing things are the song isn’t terribly melodic, the MV camera work isn’t great, and it doesn’t have the impact of a title track. Again, I don’t feel like this is my favorite Seventeen song, and it’s not even my favorite dark Seventeen Concept (shout out to Bring It) but it’s also something I’ve waited for a long time and I don’t feel Seventeen let me down. I love to see my boys try new things and explore all facets of themselves. I also love to see unexpected members doing great, like Dino and Jun and The8 killing the concept. In general, not at all a disappointment. 
So in conclusion, did I like the album? Yes. Did I put off making this post for an entire month just to have it turn out to basically say “good job”? Again, yes. But I feel like my boys really did a good job with this album and I’m kind of excited to see what comes next because after the last album, this album feels like a logical next step and a continuation of what they were going for, so I’m interested to see if it continues that way or if next album is something new and unexpected!

ABC Tag
I was tagged by @pbj-anonymous! rules: answer the questions and tag some cool people
(For those of you I tagged, you def don’t have to read this but just know you’ve been tagged at the end of the post...!)
a - age: 28
b - biggest fear: It’s a toss-up between losing my independence and dying while leaving behind important, unfinished work (important to me anyway). Okay, that’s a lie. Fear of death wins out. I like this world we live in. I don’t want to leave it anytime soon.
c - current time: 11:07 AM (this post has been queued)
d - drink you last had: Water (gag, I hate drinking plain water)
f - favorite song: How could I ever choose just one?!
g - ghosts, are they real: I don’t believe in the presence of ghosts in the sense that they’re the lingering souls of the departed, or manifestations thereof. I don’t truly believe any part of us remains behind when we leave this world (besides, you know, our decomposing bodies. There’s your gross, vivid imagery for the day, you’re welcome).
I do, however, believe in the existence of the supernatural, and in the presence of spirits we often cannot see all around us and even at times residing and working in us. Specifically, hostile, demonic spirits. It both frightens me and intrigues me. I’ve drifted away from the idea and don’t think about it much these days, but it’s hard not to have at least a fragile belief in it if you were raised in the religious household I was. My father was a minister outside of his 9-5 and his favorite aspect of the ministry was “deliverance,” i.e,. casting demons out of people.
It’s rare that this comes up in conversation (for good reason!), but when it does it’s always fun to see how people react when I casually mention that in my younger years my dad was, for all intents and purposes-- though I hate to use this term-- an exorcist. lol
A, B, C, D, E, F, G... (omg I just realized there’s no E!) Putting the rest behind a Read More.
h - hometown: Lil’ town in Texas that’s not so little anymore.
i - in love with: Things and people that inspire
j - jealous of: People who are able to spend money without a care (as long as they do so within their means of course). It’s not the money I envy, it’s the mindset.
k - killed someone: Wow, what a question. Here’s the deal. I’ve never killed a person, and I hope to God I never do, but I will say I’ve given it a good deal of thought. EXCLUSIVELY FOR SELF DEFENSE PURPOSES, I might add. Let’s be real, simply by virtue of being a woman in this wonderful yet treacherous world of ours, it’s probably not the worst thing to devote some serious consideration to: preserving your own life by being willing to take someone else’s if they are in the act of doing you harm. I cannot express how sincerely I hope I never find myself in a situation where it comes to that. But let’s face it, much as I love this world it ain’t all sunshine and roses. We are vulnerable.
My roomie and I were in a situation last year where I thought it prudent to mentally prepare myself for this, at the time, very real possibility. When you’ve got a strange man coming to your windows late at night repeatedly throughout the summer, you start to wonder at his intentions. And when the local police dept steps up its game and assigns a detective to the case without your asking, citing concerns that it could be a sex crime waiting to happen... you start keeping that handgun of yours within reach. Just in case.
Believe me, entertaining the idea of hurting another person at all, let alone in such an irrevocable way... it’s never pleasant. It never should be. But I’m the type who tends toward careful, calculated moves, and the last thing I wanted to risk was freezing up in the heat of the moment should that moment ever arrive, so I fired up my imagination and ran through a medley of gruesome what-if mental scenarios in the hopes that I’d be ready. I mean, I’m sure nothing ever truly prepares you for something like that, but... I do what I can.
l - last time you cried: Honestly can’t remember. Might have been back in January when I was writing Bright Like the Sun and found myself unexpectedly thinking up various scenarios about how the guys’ lives come to that inevitable end (why, brain, why). I’m going to cry again just thinking about it! Wtf why is this post so focused on death?!
m - middle name: Let’s skip this one. ;) I like my middle name, but I recently shared my first, so...
n - number of siblings: 2 brothers. I’m the middle child.
o - one wish: No regrets
p - person you last called/texted: My dear mother
q - question(s) you’re always asked: “So how’d you get into taxidermy?” Every other new customer that comes through the door asks me this, and I still have yet to find a concise way to sum it up. It’s been a long and winding journey.
r - reasons to smile: We live in a world of endless opportunity... Opportunity for learning, creating, sharing, growing...
s - song last played: Daesung’s Utautai no Ballad off his D’scover album, yesterday evening in my car.
t - time you woke up: Around 5:30 AM
u - underwear color: Black
v - vacation destination: My family and I are trying to plan a trip to Ireland? It’s been kind of hectic.
w - worst habit: Keeping people at arm’s length? Being physically and emotionally distant? Compartmentalizing everyone I meet then keeping the lids firmly shut, refusing to let them migrate out of one box and into another? (lol too heavy, I know. This whole post is so inappropriate.)
x - x-rays you’ve had: Dental, one for my foot when I stepped on a roof nail as a kid, and one for my back while in college-- and that’s how I learned I had a healed fracture from when I had fallen off my horse a couple years prior!
y - your favorite food: IDK, but I can eat a lot of sushi and not get tired of it (though it sounds unappetizing, I thought convenience store sushi during my visit to Japan last year was pretty great).
z - zodiac sign: Gemini
Tagging a few peeps in my recent activity feed who when they reblog from me add their own comments, in their tags or otherwise (please ignore if y’all have already done this thing or just plain don’t want to): @bacchikoibae @fangirl-2007 @you-go-seungri-coco @slaveoflunacy @daedae-is-my-baebae
