Queen: Chicago 7/12/1978 - Full Audience Recording

Queen, Live At The Stadium, Chicago, Illinois, USA.

"Brian May later recalled that at this show their dressing room door was broken and wouldn't close. The freezing outdoor weather filled the room and the band were shivering before they went on stage. Brian's vocal harmonies sound a bit nasal tonight, and this could be a fair explanation for it.

Freddie's weakening voice first reveals itself when he has a tough time in his solo spot at the end of Somebody To Love.

After the song, the band leave the stage for a few minutes due to some technical problems. After they return, Freddie says, "We're sorry about this delay, but it couldn't be helped. It's a slight electric fault, but I'm not going to bore you with that. We're gonna play some music right now!" Clearly Freddie has learned from his mistake in Uniondale a couple weeks back, as he kept his explanation brief." - Queenlive.ca/queen/78-12-07.htm

"This is another great December '78 recording, a transfer from the master cassette, recorded from the third row in front of the left speakers. John's bass is a bit more clear here than on the Montreal recording, but there is a lot more tape hiss.

Side A of the tape runs out while Freddie plays the intro to Don't Stop Me Now." - Queenlive.ca/queen/78-12-07.htm
