Freddie delights everyone on hand by introducing The Prophet's Song in Japanese. The audience are very enthusiastic tonight, and apparently borderline rowdy, as Freddie has to tell everyone to "take it easy" during Jailhouse Rock.

During Liar, the frantic audience shout "liar" and "all day long" in unison at all the appropriate times.

The band play Father To Son again tonight. This would be the final performance of the Queen II gem.

This first gen copy emerged in 2008. The original transfer ran much too fast, except for most of Doing All Right which is patched in from another source.

A digital copy of the master tape to MiniDisc exists, but it has not circulated.

Track listing:

Wardour quickly bootlegged the first gen transfer within months of it emerging. They fixed the speed and did some hiss reduction. The latter is apparent especially in quieter moments, resulting in that familiar digital whirlpool sound.
