i came across tinypic and found this: link can any of you remember when and how this happened and share the story with us? Wasnt this when Freddie fallen down the stairs and had to be on piano for the whole gig?...
Ah yes, the famous incident in Hannover 1984. Indeed, the setlist was shortened and he had to sit the rest of the show. Having said that, he sung one of the most passionate versions of Boh Rhap ever, with beautiful low notes.
Yes, this show exists on record. Freddie fell down after Hammer to Fall, and after some discussion, the band decided to cut out Crazy Little Thing, Radio Ga Ga and the first encore, and play Bo Rhap, WWRY, and WATC to end the show in a hurry (but still give the fans three songs that they inevitably came expecting to hear). Freddie remained seated at the piano the whole time (I haven't heard this bootleg for some time, but I seem to recall there being no encore break after Bo Rhap), and was rushed to the hospital after the show.
