This is something that has plagued me for years.
We all know that there are at least three jackets Freddie used to wear during the Magic Tour: Plain White, White with Red Belts and Plain Yellow.
Now I seem to have this memory that I at some point saw a picture with him wearing a red or at least a jacket with a darker color than white or yellow.
Has anyone else ever seen what I am talking about or is this just something I imagined I saw around 10 years ago while browsing through the photos section here?
(My personal guess is that I saw a b&w photo with a colored jacket that looked DARKER than white or yellow)

wasn't the RED one from Hot space tour
Yeah there was a red one. Used either in the opening as seen in the little footage that exists from Frankfurt or like I assume more commonly for a few songs after the Guitar Solo.

Well that certainly is a red jacket. But we also have Freddie without the mic stand so it's certainly a slightly inaccurate portrayal of him. This isn't what "I remember that I saw" though.

Red and a Blue one I believe (magic tour)?
Now a blue one would be something new to me at least!
Hmmm, I'm starting to doubt myself now. I'm sure I have a picture somewhere or have at least seen a picture of a red jacket with white piping, and also a sort of royal blue jacket.
haha,
I had often wondered, but never dared to start the thread :)
In terms of the Magic Tour style jacket I'm pretty sure its just the three you mentioned.
Madame Tussauds used to have him wearing a red jacket... pretty sure I've never actually seen this on Freddie.... link

Maybe you saw this: link
Queen "A kind of magic" European Tour with a pic from 1985 on the cover.
Well I guess I got my question answered then, thanks all.
I had browsed through every concert with a photo on Queenlive.ca and I checked about 60 pages of FM pictures here on QZ in order do find an answer. My guess is that it was a B&W photo with a much darker looking yellow jacket that I had seen all those years ago.
I'm sure someone in the crowds attending had a read jacket.
I think u might be referring to the mimed Montreux one? wasn't there red in some promo shots?
