The Queen Performance Index
From Queenpedia.com
Revision as of 18:08, 17 January 2009 by Lester Burnham (Talk | contribs)
The purpose of The Queen Performance Index is to list the first and most recent live performances of every song officially released by Queen. The songs are sorted by album. Additional non-album songs are to be found as the very last entry.
Because of the severe overlap of Queen songs performed during solo tours (including Queen + Paul Rodgers), this section deals only with concerts performed between 1970 and 1986. A section dedicated to concerts from 1987 onward will be added in the not-too-distant future.
Almost all of the information listed here is based on the setlists posted on this website. Because the collection of setlists is incomplete, this information should not be considered definitive.
Corrections are welcome.
