Queen - Feelings, Feelings (Early Take)

Re-uploaded due to a Copyright Strike which took down the original upload.

This version of Feelings, Feelings was premiered in 2000 at the 15th International Fan Club Convention in Prestatyn and unfortunately comes from a lossy source. However, I have tried to restore the audio by reducing the clipping, lossy artefacts and general muddiness in the recording and also balance the vocals/instruments.

For years, this performance has been called "Feelings" as was thought to originate from a recording from the early '70s, this has since been debunked, as it was discovered that this song, along with Silver Salmon was performed straight after each other in an early rehearsal in 1977. The guitar chord heard at the end of this recording, is the same one heard at the beginning of most copies of Silver Salmon, confirming this claim. Both of these tracks, "Feelings" and Silver Salmon were both rehearsed by the band, before later dropping Silver Salmon and continuing Feelings, Feelings into the two takes we have nine and 10, for it then to be excluded from the final album tracklist.

So it's currently unknown if Silver Salmon or Feelings, Feelings were attempted any earlier than these takes, maybe the band were just toying about with old Pre-Queen songs? In any case, these two songs are now confirmed to have originated from a NOTW session, what we do know is that these are both very quick and rough run-throughs, and is also unknown if any further takes of Siver Salmon were attempted.

Lyrics:

Ooooh
You say
Search at the speed of light
I don't wanna be working baby
They say you're up all night, this feeling

Oooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh, oh-oh, yeah-yeah, yes
Got to get a rid of
This feeling, feeling
I've got to get rid of this feeling
I've got to
I've been waiting so long
To get to feel babe
Oh, I've been waiting so long
It's alright
I've got to feel
I've got to sail away
Oh wow, wow, wow, wow, wow, wow, wow

Ow
