City:	Detroit, MI, USA
Venue:	Joe Louis Arena
Date:	September 20, 1980

Freddie stopped the show part way through Love Of My Life because the rowdy audience was drowning out Brian's guitar. The picture is from a superb book called "The Ultimate Illustrated History of the Crown Kings of Rock" by Phil Sutcliffe. Go and buy it at amazon.com. This is the last known shot of Freddie on the bodyguard dressed as Dark Vader for the second encore of We Will Rock You. They soon retired the gag after finding out that Star Wars creator George Lucas was planning to threaten legal action against the band (what a way to respond to free publicity!).
