Queen

In June 1979, just before Queen’s live performance recorded in “Now I’m Here” for the *Live Killers* album, the band was riding high on the success of their ambitious *Jazz* album, released in late 1978. This was a pivotal moment in Queen's career, marked by their experimental edge and the break from traditional rock conventions. The *Jazz* album featured hits like "Don't Stop Me Now" and showcased their flair for blending genres, fusing rock with a jazz sensibility. Interestingly, the *Live Killers* tour, which included the recording of this iconic performance, was Queen's first extensive global tour and demonstrated their growing international appeal, propelled in part by their stage presence and Freddie Mercury’s electrifying charisma. This period solidified their reputation as one of the premier live rock acts, and the energy captured during the performance is a testament to that dynamic evolution.
