SUPERB 1979 PERFORMANCE FROM QUEEN WHILE AT THE TOP OF THEIR GAME
The Concerts for the People of Kampuchea was a series of live shows featuring top rock acts of the day, such as; Queen, The Clash, The Pretenders, The Who, Elvis Costello, Wings, and many more artists that took place at the Hammersmith Odeon in London during December 1979 to raise money for the victims of war-torn Cambodia. The event was organised by Paul McCartney and Kurt Waldheim, and it involved artists such as McCartney and The Who as well as punk acts like The Clash and the Pretenders. The last of the concerts was the last concert of Wings. An album and EP were released in 1981, and the best of the concerts were released as a film. • Queen performed their set on boxing day, 26th December ‘79, and as may be expected, it remains the most electric and dynamic performance of the entire series of gigs. • Playing a 75-minute set that featured a mammoth 18 live cuts - plus the band’s customary ‘God Save The Queen’ finale - the show was unsurpassed and was recorded for live FM Radio broadcast across the UK and synched worldwide, at the time. This stunning show however has never previously been released on CD until now. Now featured in its entirety on this CD, the huge number of fans across the world still flying the flag for this legendary group are sure to be delighted to finally hear this show, and to equally own a copy after all these years.
