Queens of the Stone Age Part 3

A bit of a delay in getting this ready, but for Queens fans should be worth the wait.... quite a few live and rare treats for today, quite a bit of material so we'll keep the commentary short and get on with telling ya exactly what is here.....

Let's begin with the "Deluxe" re-issues of the debut and "Rated R".....I forgot I had these or I simply would have posted them in the first place, but I'm NOT going to post the entire "deluxe" editions, just the additional material from each and leave the programming to you......the debut reissue features only three additional tracks, "The Bronze", "These Aren't the Droids You're Looking For", and "Spiders and Vinegrooms", all worthwhile.

"Rated R" on the other hand featured an additional disc, "B Sides and Live at the Reading Festival 2000", the Reading show being a very early effort, quite an interesting find. A fairly short set, but always great to hear a different interpretation of "Feel Good Hit of the Summer", right? Just kidding in case you took me like serious.

That wraps the "official" albums, now lets see what else is on that shelf...... we'll start with a two disc mish mash, "Live Recordings". I don't recall whom I got this one from, not sure if it's a homemade effort or what, but if you check the set list, you'll see that it is fairly career-spanning, and from a BUNCH of different locales (I'll list them in the track list, but the DATES are NOT made available)... as I said, kind of a grab-bag format, definitely for fans only.

Along the same line is "Live and Non-LP Tracks, for which I have even LESS data, no locales OR dates, there are some nice rarities here, though, and it's not nearly as sprawling as the previous set.

From 02 comes a Full set from Stockholm, pretty tight show, and also from 02 a good 2-disc live set from Wasahington DC...... the Queens keep there set lists pretty regular, but they seem like they'd be a good act to see (I never got to) a more recent live example of the Queens in action comes from 2013, from the Brazil Lollapalooza, nice to have a live version of "My God is the Sun", also an undated but fairly recent set from the KCRW studios, which features the same tune, a good bit of "Like Clockwork" material, and a Josh Homme interview........ anyway, that's what I got, this stuff is more for fans than dabblers I'd say, but the response to the studio albums was good, so maybe a few "dabblers" have become "fans" due to that?

Hope I can dance around the World Series (GO ROYALS) this week and get MY Halloween-kinda post up, likely Thursday or so, I think in the past, other than some appropriate music I may feature a photo set of either hot Goth chicks or Vampire women........maybe even both. We shall see.
