If Queen had retired after Queen 11, we would have missed absolutely nothing because the first two albums being the greatest pieces of work they ever did. Kudos to RTB for the amazing production on both albums. It does not get better than this.
Comparing this to their later material is really interesting because it shows how much their sound evolved over just a few years. This is much more a basic early 70's blues-based heavy metal, in the style of Blue Cheer or Black Sabbath. They quickly developed their own, lyrically and musically much more complex sound, but they always kept an element of the heavy rock from which they started.

An old friend of mine was actually surprised to find Queen at the top of the heavy metal album chart in the early nineties, if he'd listened to this it perhaps wouldn't have surprised him so
@@philipdalton1000s I'm an old metalhead and a lot of old metalhead friends really like queen precisely because they are heavy. The first 3 queen records are fantastic.
Absolutely splendid; it's "Sir" John Peel as far as I'm concerned
It was always John "Needs to get the snot out of his nose and breathe properly" Peel to me. How that voice ever got on any radio station was absolutely beyond me.
46 years ago today! It's so nice to be able to hear this now, so long after the fact.
I love early days Queen, this is superb. that little preview of Brighton Rock toward the end of Son and Daughter is magnificent. Only 5K views, Queen fans are sleeping on this one.
Sleeping on this one? I had this on official cassette and CD in 1989. Maybe it's you who's sleeping?
Btw, the guitar solo of every live version of Son And Daughter up until that point led to Brighton Rock. In fact, the solo on Smile's song Blag even more so.
I have this on CD along with the first session. It’s one of my favorites.
god bless you for uploading all these peel sessions! greetings from mexico!!!
That was F'n GREAT!
Fantastic👏 heavy rock Queen in their early days! Fascinating band😃
Them doing their best T-Rex with Son and Daughter. By far their best song.
Brian May is a monster on guitar and a doctor of in astrophysics.
Great guitar solos and drums, the songs are a good trip, some parts remember Black Sabbath and Hendrix. 🤔🥰🖤

Queen Were " Casting Aside Mediocrity " In There Quest For " A Heightened Musical Brilliance " Which Fortunately " Wasn't Long In Arriving " !!! From Adrian Browne 1965
It's not "The complete session." May and Taylor's intro to Ogre Battle isn't included here... presumably taken from the Queen At The Beeb/Queen At The BBC CDs, which left it off..
It's not taken from the CDs. I don't use official releases unless there's absolutely no other alternative. This was recorded off-air from a repeat broadcast on BBC 6 Music. If I get the missing intro at a suitable quality then I will re-upload, as I often have in the past.
@@Vibracobra23_Original Okay. I believe you. Because I texted the DJ on BBC6 and told him the "swooping guitar intro" of Ogre Battle was missing, which he read out over the air.
@@Vibracobra23_Original I have the full intro on tape. Tommy Vance played it on The Friday Rock Show in 1989. But the sound was a bit "in and out" that night.
@@barrymitchell6444 I'll probably get a good quality recording of it at some point. I do more often than not.
@@Vibracobra23_Original It was Gideon Coe who played it on BBC6. I bought both versions of Queen On Air (with and without DJ intros and outros). It's edited on both, and badly done too.
