Yes this is what Queen was born from

[@zachjohnson637]

Queen had already been around for 5 years at this point…

[@oweouwerohrwehohoi]

queen sucks ass

[@Russy05]

@@zachjohnson637 Sparks had a major influence on Queen's albums from Sheer Heart Attack to Jazz maybe even to News of the World though Queen's first album was out Sparks had released 2 already and ther 3rd album influenced Queen a lot.

[@zachjohnson637]

@@Russy05 But says who? None of the members of Queen have claimed they were influenced by Sparks. Perhaps there were some similarities in the tongue in cheek nature of some of their songs, but there were also similarities with Roxy Music, Brian Eno, and other art/glam rock bands.

Sparks formed in 1970..first album 1971

What a trouper Russell is! There's no stopping Croydon girls when they spot a boiler suit.

[@boohoo3077]

Russell got throttled so much during this concert but always managed to pick up the song!

[@garysanderson3997]

Also having Tony Visconti at the desk helps. Legend.

[@muuuzaklistener]

Cool! I really want to buy a full-scale concert from the years 74-76, there are many collections, but I haven't seen a full live on sale

[@sinkingshipsfan]

if you want to listen to this full concert it's here on wolfgangs: www.wolfgangs.com/music/sparks/audio/20051973-6633.html?tid=35192

[@igormasarsky5356]

Thank you very much for your reply! I really wanted to buy a dvd or cd of these concerts! There is one full concert on UA-cam, but unfortunately it is not on sale! It's in black and white! However, the concert is simply killer! It's a pity that it hasn't been reissued yet!
