This show was originally intended to be at Riverfront Coliseum in Cincinnati. The deaths of eleven people outside of the arena prior to a show by The Who on December 3, 1979 may have had something to do with the change in venue. According to a fan who attended the show - before Play the Game, Freddie sat down and played a few keys; right there he stopped, looked right out to the crowd, sort of leaned away and you could hear some sort of paper ripping sound, then said, "sorry, I just had to get it out." |
