This is the first of eight dates of the band's first tour of Australia. The previous day the band were interviewed on the weekly "Sounds Unlimited" TV program on the Seven Network by Donnie Sutherland. Bohemian Rhapsody and A Night At The Opera have topped the charts here. Despite being booed off the stage at the Sunbury Festival in 1974, Freddie was right when he said Queen would be one of the biggest bands in the world the next time they'd return down under. This early poster indicates that some changes were made to the tour itinerary for these shows in Australia. There ended up being eight shows in all, with second consecutive nights being added in Adelaide, Sydney, and Melbourne. The Brisbane show remained on the 23rd. |
