What was the name of Queen's first live album released in 1979?
Answer
Live Killers
Answer
Live Killers
Queen’s first live album, released in 1979, was *Live Killers*.
Released on 22 June 1979, *Live Killers* is a double live album recorded during the European leg of the band’s Jazz Tour. The performances were captured between 26 January and 1 March 1979, then assembled into a broad portrait of Queen’s ambitious arena show.
The album includes live versions of songs such as “We Will Rock You,” “Killer Queen,” “Brighton Rock,” “Bohemian Rhapsody,” “Don’t Stop Me Now,” and “Keep Yourself Alive.” It was also Queen’s first live release and their first double album. The band produced the record themselves and mixed it at Mountain Studios in Montreux, Switzerland.
A common mix-up is confusing *Live Killers* with later concert releases such as *A Night at the Odeon* or *Live at Wembley ’86*. Those albums were issued later and document different periods of Queen’s career. *Live Killers* reached number three on the UK Albums Chart and number 16 on the US Billboard 200.
