You realize what you've gotten into when this is how it starts.
Yeah, it was amazing. With that music, how could it not?
But, the sets and the decore was barely decent. When you have such a intense drama, a scaled back or minimalistic decor just doesn't fly with with. More is more.
To no surprise at all I am nominating a Queen song for @DXMacGuffin's #ProgTuesday
They have plenty to choose from, but I am gonna go with the longest song they ever recorded:
The Prophet's Song by #Queen
A Night at the Opera, 1975
https://song.link/y/zPtmMsTpGSs
"Bohemian Rhapsody" is a song by the British rock band #Queen, released as the lead single from their fourth studio album, #ANightAtTheOpera (1975). Written by lead singer #FreddieMercury, the song is a six-minute #suite, notable for its lack of a #refrainingChorus and consisting of several sections: an #intro, a #ballad segment, an #operatic passage, a #hardRock part and a reflective #coda.

Ah what the heck, why not treat myself with this whole masterpiece of an album on this special occasion?
Here we go:
#NowPlaying Death On Two Legs (Dedicated To...) by #Queen
#Queen – #ANightAtTheOpera (1975). A brash compendium of shifting genres, this LP has Queen pulling all the stops as they switch from the thudding rock of “Death on Two Legs” to the vaudevillian pastiche of “Lazing on a Sunday Afternoon.” Later, the album progs out on “The Prophet’s Song” and gets teary-eyed on “Love of My Life,” before “Bohemian Rhapsody” turns the camp up to eleven.
