Collective history has suggested that a fourth night at the Garden on October 1 was added, but this show on the 30th would be the final one of the tour. That said, three nights at the Garden and four at the L.A. Forum spell success for any entertainers. This is the last time Queen would perform the John Deacon favourite You're My Best Friend. Freddie is in a great mood tonight. With his back to the audience for a moment, attempting to introduce Save Me while still receiving an ovation, he cheerfully asks, "What is that racket behind me?" Someone lets off a firecracker before Fat Bottomed Girls, and the audience boos the perpetrator. Freddie then says, "We normally dedicate this next song to the biggest pair of tits in the audience, but I never get to see one!" Brian, before Love Of My Life: "Think we should turn it up a bit?" The audience definitely comply. "I just want to say a couple of things. About three months ago we left our homes in England and we came for a three month tour of the United States. We've had the best possible time, I can tell you. It's been great. We're gonna miss New York a lot in particular. Thank you for your support. You're great." The photos seen above are either from the first or third night at the Garden. Here are a few pro pics from the third night: 1 2 3 4 5 |

Even though all three recordings don't sound great by any stretch of the imagination, at least they all exist to paint a fair enough picture of what would arguably be Queen's peak in North America. |
