In attesa della partenza del tour americano, con Adam Lambert (dal 19 giugno), e in attesa di ascoltare il nuovo disco, i Queen annunciano l’arrivo nei negozi di un nuovo box set, Queen: live at the Rainbow ’74, contenente una serie di registrazioni inedite effettuate durante una performance al Rainbow di Londra il 31 marzo del 1974.
Si tratta di uno dei primi live della band in veste di headliner, e una delle date di supporto al disco Queen II. Il disco, nei negozi il prossimo 9 settembre, doveva essere pubblicato in origine come terzo lavoro dei Queen: la band, invece, desistette in favore della raccolta di inediti Sheer heart attack.
Queen: live at the Rainbow ’74 sarà disponibile in diversi formati: doppio CD, doppio vinile, e “super deluxe box set”, con due CD, un DVD e un Blu-ray, un libro di 60 pagine con foto inedite e le recensioni dei live, una riproduzione di biglietti, del poster, dei badge del concerto e tanto altro ancora.
