Rock in Japan

~ Release by Queen (see all versions of this release, 1 available)

Annotation

CD1/1 - CD2/11: Recorded at Yoyogi National Gymnasium, Tokyo, Japan on May 11, 1985 (NOT Castle Hall, Osaka Japan 15th May 1985.)
(It is one of many bootlegs passed off as the Osaka show from 4 nights later, to lure buyers into getting what seemed to be a different show from the one that was just released on VHS. The presence of Dragon Attack (as this is from a radio broadcast, not the video) certainly helped their cause).

CD2/12-15: BBC Radio Session from august 1977 with audience overdub, and not San Diego 1977 as stated on cover.

CD1/10 is mistyped as "It's A Hard Live".
CD1/13 is mistyped as "Is This The World We Create"
CD1 total running time: 42:36.

CD2/05 is mistyped as "Bohemian Rhapsodie".
CD2/12 is the fast version of "We Will Rock You".
CD2/14 is mistyped as "Melancholy Blues".
