The second night of the Magic Tour, taking place four days after the opening night in Stockholm, is the first of three sold out shows at Leiden's 'Groenoordhallen', the last time any formation of Queen would play at this venue. The audience at all three shows are absolutely incredible, making them all reach legendary status among Queen fans because of the energetic atmosphere, leading the band to give more than their absolute all. At multiple points before, during and after the show, the audience (sometimes even accompanied by Freddie or other band members) go through their football chants (which I've called 'Ole Ole' as that's the name these chants are often referred to as), singing along with every song and making for an outstanding experience for everyone involved. As a result of this, many songs are drawn out, leading to this show being almost ten minutes longer than Stockholm. Additionally, the band have moved 'Bohemian Rhapsody' after the acoustic set, where it would remain for the rest of the tour. This show also features the first live performance of 'Friends Will Be Friends', the fourth and last 'A Kind of Magic' track to be played live on this tour. Seperating 'We Will Rock You' and 'We Are the Champions', it has found its place as part of the second encore and would stay there as well. At both early Leiden shows, the full song is played for the only time before being cut down - tonight it lasts more than four minutes due to the band missing the cue out of it multiple times!
