Date:	November 19, 1975

This article from the November 29 issue of Sounds chronicles this show in great detail, particularly of how well the enthusiastically the audience responded to Seven Seas Of Rhye. Interestingly, it also points out that Freddie's strip act during Big Spender isn't part of the show every night. On this night Freddie appeared (and remained) in his kimono, while on the previous night he emerged for the encore in his tight white shorts to begin with. In a 1977 interview with Lisa Robinson at Hit Parader, Mercury insisted the shorts were "on a dare from the crew." He continues, "Sneaking my cabaret influences into our act was done slowly. Could you imagine me doing Big Spender when we were first starting? As a rock band? They'd freak. Now we do more a combination of rock and roll and theatre." Brian twisted his ankle during Liar, unbeknownst to the audience. The fourth photo is of the damage to a few seats after people climbed onto them during Seven Seas Of Rhye.
