Queen are the 5th highest selling recording artists of all time. They played their first concert in Truro, Cornwall, and made many visits in the late sixties (as 'Smile') and early 70's (as 'Queen'). Prior to joining 'Smile' and forming 'Queen' Roger Taylor gigged all over Cornwall with his band 'The Reaction'. This blog is an attempt to document these musicians and concerts in preparation for a book and fan club event.

The Ventures: Wipe Out
This single from 1962 is brilliant...and according to Dave Dowding it was a favourite of Cousin Jacks/Beat Unlimited...I'd be interested to know if, when they played it in 63/64 whether they did it in a similar way to this performance - with the drummer very much taking the limelight...
UPDATE 22/7/10 Dave Dowding says yes it was similar - but Roger's drums breaks were even better!
