"'39" and "Now I'm Here" are from Festhalle, Frankfurt on 2 February, as is "Love Of My Life" which is confirmed in the liner notes of the DVD release "Greatest Video Hits 1". It is not known about the rest of the songs - Brian May himself apparently has said that he cannot remember from which shows the different songs were recorded. The album was self-produced by the band and was their first to be mixed at their own studios, Mountain Studios in Montreux, Switzerland.〔 Guitarist Brian May and drummer Roger Taylor revealed on the US radio show ''In the Studio with Redbeard'' (which spotlighted the making of 1980's ''The Game'') that the band was not happy with the album's final mix as the band mixed the album themselves. Despite this, ''Live Killers'' reached number 3 on the UK Albums Chart, and number 16 on the ''Billboard'' 200 in the United States, and is certified double platinum in the US.〔( RIAA – Gold and Platinum ) Recording Industry Association of America Retrieved 11 July 2011〕〔Roberts, David (2006).

London: Guinness World Records Limited〕 In the territories outside of the United States, Europe and Canada, Elektra Records re-released a shorter, edited version of the album in 1985 titled ''Queen Live''. The 1994 issue released as part of the Digital Master Series by EMI did not improve upon the quality of the previous release. It was later remastered and restored in better quality by Peter Mew in 2001. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Live Killers」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
