Queen - Under Pressure (First Time Ever Live) [High Definition]

About this version

Some drum parts make sense on paper and still feel odd under your hands. This version is for closing that gap a bit faster.

Useful for

working on groove and feel

Useful for

cleaning up fills and transitions

Useful for

repeating the section before the section that usually goes wrong

A simple way in

A version for hearing the groove, fills, and transitions more clearly while keeping the shape of the original song intact.

Start with the tricky section, not the whole song. A few good repetitions usually tell you more than one rushed pass from top to bottom.

Once it feels settled, go back to the full arrangement and check whether it still holds together. That is usually where the real answer is.

Notes

This version of "Under Pressure" was recorded live in Montreal, Quebec, Canada at the Montreal Forum on November 24 1981, ten years to the date before Freddie Mercury died. Brian May and Roger Taylor said that this was the first time ever they performed the song live.
