This is the first of only two Danish shows Queen would play (the second being in 1978). The four pics are most likely from this concert. They were taken from a 1977 issue of a Danish magazine called "Popexpres." Freddie, after the first song: "Good evening, and welcome to the show in Copenhagen! You load of tarts." As always, Brian introduces the medley. "It's hot in here. Ok, we have some more goodies for you, I hope. These are some of the old things we used to do. We've put 'em all together in a medley which we hope you'll like, and we hope you're recognize this." Freddie starts the familiar piano intro to Killer Queen. Afterward, Freddie says, "Thank you for listening to that medley intently." He forgets the a few lyrics in Death On Two Legs, being only its third performance on stage. It is the only blemish in an otherwise superb concert. Freddie, after '39: "Sometimes that number really gels, and I think we're gonna try and do some more acoustic songs next time we come back here. And we are gonna come back here for sure. Anyway, we'd like... I'd like to carry on with a simple little tune, just me and the piano. This is called You Take My Breath Away." The band encore with a blistering version of Liar. The second photo set was taken by Bolle Gregmar. Here are some pro pictures from the show: 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 25 26 27 28 29 30 31 32 33 |

This Swedish bootleg was originally released in 1978. The artwork consists mostly of pictures taken in late 1974, with the exception of the bottom right two which are from Liverpool on this tour. Recorded from the 15th row, this is most likely a transfer of the master tape to vinyl. The equalization is great, and along with the reverby sound, it captures the concert hall sound beautifully. The music is mostly unobstructed by the audience throughout. Death On Two Legs and Stone Cold Crazy were relocated so that everything could fit onto 4 sides of vinyl. The second encore and the God Save The Queen exit music are missing (the taper insists he left after Liar genuinely thinking the show was over), and there are cuts during Brighton Rock and at the beginning of Now I'm Here for tape flips. |

A reissue of the LP came out in The Netherlands in 1983, with a white cover that almost looks like gift wrap. |

This 1991 bootleg claims to be from Zurich '82 and '86. The truth of the matter is - four tracks come from Zurich '82, while the other tracks come from Copenhagen '77, Tokyo '85, Mannheim '86 and London '86. |

The musical content of this 1997 Japanese bootleg is identical to the Swedish bootleg LP, as is the cover art. In fact, they even copied the name of the original bootleg label, but in reality it's unknown what company produced this bootleg. |

This marvellous super 8 video emerged in 2021. While the footage is fragmentary, there are substantial chunks of the first couple songs. |
