Before Killer Queen, Freddie plays the intro to Death On Two Legs - the last time he would do this. After the medley, he says, "I think our first night last night was really good. It's nice to come back to Sydney after nine years." He pours some water on the audience, and adds, "Take that. You can beat me up afterwards." Before the usual vocal exchange with the audience, Freddie engages them: "Let's do something that's not on any of the albums right now; okay, that means you. Let's see what you're made of." Brian, before Is This The World We Created: "We'd like to dedicate this to all of you good Sydney people who made us very at home our last few nights here." After the song, he says, "It's getting pretty warm up here. It's gonna be warmer by the time we finish. This goes back a long way to the last time we were with you, in fact, to around A Night At The Opera. Those times. And it goes like this." He plays the ever familiar guitar intro to launch Love Of My Life. The pictures were submitted by Alessio Rizzitelli. In the last picture, Freddie is seen "playing along" with Brian during the We Will Rock You guitar solo.

This is superb footage filmed from the audience with a great zoom, on a tripod. The only major cut is during the ending of Brighton Rock for a tape change, and most of Another One Bites The Dust is missing as a result. Eight months into the tour and John Deacon is still clearly amused by Mercury's boob gag in I Want To Break Free. Despite popular claims, there is no copy of the master tape circulating. The taper backed up his master to SVHS and a VHS copy of it is what has circulated. Some copies are so high generation that they are in black and white and virtually unwatchable.

Taking the name from a Pink Floyd song, the best circulating copy of the video was bootlegged in October 2008. Here's a link to the always-reliable GS review: http://www.collectorsmusicreviews.com
