These pictures from the encore could be from any of the four consecutive nights (February 5-8) at the Beacon Theater. The second one is from Patrice Ackerson. As indicated by this Village Voice ad, only three nights were originally planned, but ticket demand made a fourth night necessary. In fact, this review of the first night was written without the knowledge that a fourth night had been tagged on. The second set of show pics were submitted by Juan Guarino (and cleaned up by Rudolf Griva). Here's another photo set that could also be from any of the four nights. A fan recalls the show: "Queen said somewhere that this was the worst night of this tour. With 27 people from Carteret at the show it is no wonder why. Matty, his brothers, I and others bought 21 tickets at the theatre when they went on sale. I purchased three front row and three third row seats. Left the front row seats for Matt, Ray and Nick. Matt and Ray were to soon enter the Marines. Mike hits Mercury with a flash cube, booed Freddie when he snotted the audience to shut up. Cookies were tossed as well." Elektra Records threw a party for the band after the show. Attendees include Billie Jean King, Todd Rundgren, David Johansen, Ian Hunter, and Ahmet Ertegun. |
