At some concerts, Tie Your Mother Down moved to the encores and either We Will Rock You or Sheer Heart Attack was played after The Hero.

Two gigs were held at a different place than originally planned - the Leeds gig was at first planned for Old Trafford in Manchester (a couple of tickets still exist) and the tour was supposed to end in Arsenal, London - not Milton Keynes. Also there were plans for a concert in Royal Albert Hall but were abandoned due to the weight of the lighting rig.

The second Frankfurt concert (29.04.1982) was cancelled - either the band changed their plans (they flew to Paris in the morning on 29.04.) or simply the Frankfurt gigs weren't sold out. People with tickets for 29.04. were invited to the 28.04.1982 concert (more seats had to be added to the floor under the balcony).
