45 years ago today in 1971, Queen played its first gig with bassist John Deacon (shown above), meaning that the lineup that would stormtroop across the world was now in place and set for royal world domination. Although he would not make any songwriting contributions to the band until its third album, he would eventually compose two of the band's biggest hits: "Another One Bites the Dust" and "You're My Best Friend." In honor, here's a few tracks from the band's demo tape made at De Lane Lea Studios the next year. The band got a lucky break as they got to record the tape for free because the studio needed someone to test its newly-installed equipment. All three of these tracks would wind up on its 1973 debut album Queen.
