With many never-before-seen photographs and memorabilia, Queen Uncovered is a treasure trove of amazing content from the personal archive of former roadie for Queen and renowned writer, Peter Hince.
Peter Hince spent 13 years as head roadie for Queen. His collection of photographs and ephemera from the band’s personal and public moments will finally see the light of day for the first time. It’s a unique photographic record of one of the most celebrated rock bands of all time. From concerts in Munich to Japan, Hince follows Queen from studio to street to stage. Facsimiles of handwritten notes from recording sessions, photos of the band in the studio, images of cassettes given to Hince to debut at clubs, Freddie Mercury with and without a mustache . . . the list goes on. Along with many candid moments are great photos of the various items collected from more than a decade of backstage passes, matchbooks, set lists, and more.
Looking through this brings back my regret that I was born too late to live in a world with Queen. Sadly I wouldn't have listened to them then because I listened to the songs from my generation and my Dad who loved music from before the 80s never played them. At least there are books like this to show what it would have been like in that world while seeing the journey and life of the Band.
Some really great photos of all four band members from 1976-1986 on numerous world tours. Awesome commentary by the author/roadie with rare insights, tour setlists and concert memorabilia.
