After Need Your Loving Tonight the audience claps rhythmically, leading the band to break into a one-off jam. In the midst of it Freddie does a few football chant-like vocal exchanges with the crowd. After it ends he asks them, "Are there any other songs you know?" A bit later Brian tells the audience in German that it's the first night of their German tour and adds, "I have to tell, you are a magnificent audience. You really are. This is an old song which last time we were in Germany you sang very well, and I'm sure you can sing it even better this time. This is Love Of My Life." The intro to Keep Yourself Alive has now developed into a full-out band jam that usually lasts around a minute. Every night they would bring something new to the table, and the Cologne version is no exception. The photos were taken by Chris Predovic. |

Now I'm Here is cut for a tape flip (after which it takes the taper a couple minutes to get the quality back under control), and the tape runs out less than a minute into Sheer Heart Attack. There are all kinds of tiny digital cuts throughout, likely due to a poor CD burn once upon a time. |
