NOTES:

Dressed To Kill uses the common fair to good and clear audience recording that has circulated for years.  A majority of the show first surfaced on vinyl as Queen / Live In Kove (LLX 2622).  In 1998 H-Bomb released the entire tape as Killer Queen (HBM 9508). 

Wardour’s version of the tape is two minutes longer since they fixed the tape speed to be closer to the correct pitch but is still incomplete, missing “In The Lap Of The Gods…Revisited” and the rock and roll medley.  It is plagued by rhythmic clapping at certain points by people close to the taper and the bass is somewhat distorted but overall is very powerful and captures a dynamic performance. 

Queen’s show in Kobe was the third of nine on their first tour of Japan.  It’s always fascinating to hear these tape since they are on the boarder between Sheer Heart Attack and A Night At The Opera and we can hear them developing their elaborate arrangements right on stage.  “Now I’m Here” is played slower than later live arrangements and is an interesting contrast to the faster “Ogre Battle”. 

After “Doin’ Alright” Freddie announces a medley of three songs with the latest single “Killer Queen”.  “Son & Daughter” contains an expressionistic guitar solo with Brian May playing melodies and using sounds that would appear for years on stage.  Roger introduces “Seven Seas Of Rhye” and the tape sadly runs out at the very end of “Liar”.
