After a couple songs, Freddie gets the show off on the right foot: "Are you ready to rock and roll? Well, you can't do it sitting down, you know." He then fudges the first line of Under Pressure. After the medley of old songs, Freddie says, "It's nice to be back in Melbourne after nine years. Did anybody see us nine years ago?" Quite a few people cheer, and he jests, "You fucking liars!" Before Dragon Attack, the band now play a long fanfare very similar to the intro to House Burning Down by Jimi Hendrix, one of Brian May's favourite guitarists and songs (in fact, it was his choice of song to spin during a BBC interview spot in 1977). Freddie sings an absolutely gorgeous version of Love Of My Life.
