This was an experimental time for the band, so they were trying out many different approaches before eventually settling into a setlist that was very similar to 1981. Tonight they perform Back Chat for the first time, and they leave out Somebody To Love and Liar. For this first performance of Back Chat, Brian plays the keyboard intro on the guitar, giving it a much different vibe. Freddie then seems to be uncertain about the setlist: "What the hell are we doing next? One minute!" After he learns that the next song is Under Pressure, he says, "A while back we did a song with another musician called David Bowie. Do you know him? One of these days we might do it together on stage, but until then you've just got us." The audience do the Mustapha chant even though Freddie has already introduced Save Me as the next song. He complies, and his voice sounds as pure as it did on the Jazz album opener. In addition to the two dropped songs, once again Brian doesn't do his guitar solo tonight, so this is a short show clocking in at just over 90 minutes. The photos were taken by Roberto Annaheim.
