1974 QUEEN hit the world with the first hits of "SHEER HEART ATTACK" and the single "Killer Queen". Introducing a valuable live album that reports on the scene.
It was "The Hague performance on December 8, 1974" that was imbued with this work. It is an audience recording when it first landed in the Netherlands, which is the largest parent QUEEN country in continental Europe. Speaking of "SHEER HEART ATTACK Tour", it is also known that QUEEN's first US tour and first visit to Japan were realized, and it was the time when we took the first step to conquer the world. There is also an official excavation board "LIVE AT THE RAINBOW '74" as a record at that time, so let's check the position with the schedule at that time as well.

This is the whole picture of "SHEER HEART ATTACK Tour". "LIVE AT THE RAINBOW '74" was a home country tour before and after the album was released, but after that, he traveled to continental Europe. The Hague performance of this work was the 8th performance of the "Europe" leg. QUEEN's first continental advance was in 1973, but at that time it was a showcase-like gig in West Germany and Luxembourg. This was the first "tour" in which many countries moved and staged repeatedly. Among them, the Dutch performance is historically important. After all, in the Netherlands, "SHEER HEART ATTACK" rushed to No. 7 on the national chart, and the single "Killer Queen" was ranked in the top three. It was a country that caught fire as early as my home country, England. Moreover, QUEEN did not wake up after that. The next work "A Night at the Opera" shined at No. 1 on the chart, and most of the albums have won the top of the chart since then. All three albums that missed the 1st place are in the top 10 ("JAZZ" is the 3rd place / "FLASH GORDON" is the 7th place / "A KIND OF MAGIC" is the 2nd place). Japan and South America are the pro-QUEEN countries, but in Europe it is definitely the Netherlands. Later, QUEEN followers such as Robby Valentine and Valensia appeared from the Netherlands, which was also an inevitable part of history.
