The Christmas concert on 24.12.1975 was different. It was recorded by BBC (and later broadcasted several times) and although both Freddie and Brian didn't feel very well that evening, the resulting concert was brilliant, I consider it the best Queen concert ever (yes, one of the reasons is that we have an excellent soundboard recording of that gig and sound quality matters a lot). The encore included not only the usual rock'n'roll medley but also See What A Fool I've Been. Note: a lot of setlists of that concert are WRONG (incl. the one in Greg Brook's 'Queen Live' book). Check out my collection for the correct order of the songs.
