Bits and pieces Freddie forgot the words to Hammer To Fall in the first verse and had to improvise (remember this was the second gig of the Works tour). Due to the political situation the band decided to change the outro song from 'God Save The Queen' to the 'A Day At The Races' outro.

Fan stories

Written by Gary aka hoops

Fantastic times again in Dublin - Queen were in a different league by now. Remember Freddie putting a woman's bra on his head that I thought was thrown from the audience - or maybe it was from part of his "Break Free" gear which was a laugh. Brian's solo was great as it seemed to incorporate a lot of other sounds from "Machines". Was very hoarse the second night and didn't sing as much. Got slagged big time next day in work as I could barely talk as my throat was killing me.
