Queen - Argentina 1981 Volume 1: The Complete Buenos Aires Broadcast - 2LP Vinyl Record

In February 1981 Queen took The Game Tour to South America and became the first major rock band to fill Latin American stadiums. Five of those dates were in Argentina, and the show on 28 February at Estadio Velez Sarsfield in Buenos Aires drew a reported 300,000 people, the largest single concert crowd in the country's history. The concert was recorded and filmed for simultaneous FM radio and television broadcast, which is why it survives in this kind of fidelity.

Volume 1 is the first half of that night, and it opens the way only Queen would dare: the fast version of "We Will Rock You" straight into "Let Me Entertain You" and "Play the Game", with "Mustapha" thrown at a stadium audience that sings it back. From there the set digs deeper than a greatest-hits show would, through "Death on Two Legs", "I'm in Love with My Car" and "Get Down, Make Love", before "Now I'm Here" stretches out and "Somebody to Love" closes the first instalment.

Spread across four sides, previously unreleased on vinyl in this form. One for collectors chasing the band at their live peak.
