This show at the legendary Glasgow Apollo (the first of two nights) is a stellar performance by the band. Last night's audience in Stafford has certainly left the band energized for this show. Tonight's audience is incredible as well, clapping and singing every word along to most of the songs. Freddie changes the lyrics of Killer Queen, as he had done a few times on this tour. Perfume came naturally "from Glasgow" in the second verse. Brian's Brighton Rock solo tonight is particularly outstanding. The photos were taken by Ron Strathdee, and could be from either night. |

This 1990 box set bootleg named after the 1969 James Bond film is a 2 LP compilation. This was the first time the Glasgow 77, Berlin 78, and Frankfurt 82 shows were bootlegged, with sides 1 through 3 containing about a half hour from each audience recording. Side 4 contains tracks previously released on LP bootlegs. See http://queenonstage.com for the exact details. |

Another track from the Glasgow audience recording made it onto this 1992 compilation bootleg, also including songs from London '77, Copenhagen '78, and New York '78. The third scan is the outside of a 20-page booklet (the inside of which is black and white). The bootleg also includes a poster and artwork for a CD release that never materialized. |

The same bootleggers who produced "Lazing On A Night At The Galileo Opera" released two other titles around the same time with identical musical content: "News Of The 77/78 World Tour" and "By Overwhelming Popular Demand." There are 75 and 100 copies respectively. The 75 copies of the former were pressed in three sets of 25 blue, red and yellow inserts. They all had the same back insert. |

This copy is from a second generation tape, and complete. After the guitar solo in Keep Yourself Alive, Freddie throws his tambourine into the audience as usual, and it lands very close to the taper. Its new owner can be heard playing with it a for little while, and then again during the piano intro of In The Lap Of The Gods...Revisited. |

The taper insists this is the uncut master, despite having two major cuts in the tape, even adding a fabricated tale of how the tape ran out before the end of the gig (a complete second gen copy of this source is in circulation, listed above). |

Wardour bootlegged the "master" copy in November 2008, filling in the gaps with the second gen tape. Here's a link to the always-reliable GS review: http://www.collectorsmusicreviews.com |
