Freddie, after his standard Japanese greetings: "How are you doing? We're doing fine. The nasty queenies are gonna entertain you tonight with some good, hard rock and roll." Freddie misses his cue into the final section of Ogre Battle, so only John and Roger play for a couple bars before their singer joins in. He is in great voice tonight. After being a staple since 1973, Father To Son would be dropped from the set after this show, and wouldn't be heard again until 1976. After the medley, Freddie goes out of his way to thank the fans for showering the band with gifts before the show: "I'd like to take this opportunity to thank everybody for all the presents and the nice flowers." He continues, "Here's a song from Queen One, as you call it here. It's called Son And Daughter." Brian's ensuing solo spot has many unique moments. Before the final encore, Freddie asks everyone if they're having a good time, and they respond quite positively because Queen are giving them a second encore. "I knew you could speak English!" he cheerfully states, as some of the previous Japanese audiences had presented a bit of a language barrier. He continues, "We'd like to do a song right now that was the B-side of our single Seven Seas Of Rhye. It's a number called See What A Fool I've Been." This song is not entirely unusual on this Japanese tour, being performed at least three times. Roger puts in a great performance of the bluesy ditty with plenty of creative drum fills.

This show emerged in August 2009. It's a decent recording, although the tape hiss is a bit more prominent on side B.
