Freddie makes small talk with the audience before Save Me again. "I was thinking of shaving my moustache off last night." The audience approve of the idea. He continues, saying "I decided to keep it," to a mixed reaction. "Who said boo, anyway?"

Brian plays a few bars of '39 after Love Of My Life (perhaps he missed playing it?). The song would only be referenced two more times in concert: in Leiden '84 and Cologne '86.

Freddie, before Crazy Little Thing Called Love. "We've written a lot of weird songs in our time, let me tell you. I think, in my estimation, this is one of them."

The first two photos were taken by Jeff Goldsmith. The last photo set was submitted by John Guarino and cleaned up by Rudolf Griva (although it's possible that the last four photos are from one of the other nights).

The taper was smarter on the second and third nights, learning from the cuts on last night's recording. He'd flip the tape after Save Me, as it was about 40 minutes into the show. The recording plays slightly too slow.
