City:	London, UK
Venue:	Imperial College
Date:	November 2, 1973

Brian May has stated in more recent years that these this Imperial College show was Queen's first properly advertised gig. For ages it was assumed that there were two nights, because an October 26 show was advertised in the campus newspaper on October 9. The date was simply moved to a week later, as confirmed by the October 23 newspaper. This show was also the first time they were reviewed (in the November 10 issue of Disc), and very positively, by Rosemary Horide, someone who would give Queen many glowing reviews in the early days (the scan is courtesy of Jane Palm-Gold). Well-known photos from this show were taken by Mick Rock, and some can be seen in his superb "Killer Queen" book. There is now a different (and much more affordable) version of this book called Classic Queen. Former Queen bassist Barry Mitchell attended the show.
