Looking for a picture

Anybody have a high quality version of the picture of freddie during the day at the races tour with his orange/green/white leotard and the white mask on? |

Any good? link |

Does anyone know which show this is from? It's definitely on the UK leg. |

Years ago, for some reason I used to think that this picture came from the second Earls Court show. It always seemed to me like I'd seen some short clip with Freddie wearing this mask... I still don't understand where I could see that. Maybe it's just my mind playing tricks on me. |
| lemonysnick123 04.08.2013 22:44 |
That's awesome! Thanks :D |
| lemonysnick123 04.08.2013 22:45 |
Do you know of anymore? They're hard to find |

A similar photo was used on one of the DVD covers for Earl's Evening Races. link |

I honestly can't remember if he wore the mask or not on the second night. It is of course entirely possible that he did. There are also quite a few pictures circulating of him wearing the mask and silver lurex suit. link |

The Real Wizard wrote:Yep, that is very possible. It's definitely on the UK leg, as you said above. Just using the method of elimination when looking through the shows that they played in May-June 1977, you can come to the conclusion that the pictures above come from some show(s) played in June.Lostman wrote: Years ago, for some reason I used to think that this picture came from the second Earls Court show.

He doesn't seem to have worn this leotard in May, although we don't have too many pics from all those shows. But still it looks like he did tend to wear this leotard more in June other than in May. My assumptions are that these pictures might come from either one of the two Liverpool shows or the second Earls Court show. |
| The Real Wizard 07.08.2013 00:13 |
Or maybe even Southampton? We haven't seen any pics from those two shows. |

Check out this photo - Mercury with the mask but Deacon's vest isn't on. As far as the limited video footage of 6-7-77 reveals, Deacon kept the vest on all night, so if that's the case, this photo is therefore from May/June 77 but not from the Earls Court shows. And it's definitely not Liverpool 6-3-77, since a very extensive photo collection from that show seems to have taken a photo at nearly every minute of the show. Isn't this fun ?! |

All pictures of Fred in an eye mask to be posted on this thread! : ) |

Then we can only speculate until a new video of some show from that period surfaces (if there's one). |

Could you share just the footage of Freddie with the mask? |

Cool, well spotted. I think we can be 99.9999999% certain the photo is from 6-7-77, along with many of the others in this thread. |

| The Real Wizard 06.10.2013 11:31 |
Maybe it was just for one or two songs, and after all, it was over 35 years ago. Whether or not Mercury was wearing a mask probably isn't your fondest memory of the gig nor what you would've even talked about the next day. |

^ Perhaps you're right and I'm just thinking in the 0.0000001 % zone : ) |

I'm impressed that you actually counted the 0s. |

Freddie did NOT wear a mask at second Earls Court Night ! So it still could be the South Hampton shows... |
| Ghostwithasmile is BACK! 11.10.2013 04:09 |
Do we have any distance photo's taken of Freddie with the mask, then one could notice if the crown rig is in place or not. Here lies the key to proof it wasn't at EC 77 ! |

Done ! Still the fact is this is not EC 2nd night. Let's get back on topic.... what show could it be. |

How come I've missed this discussion? Sorry to spoil the thread, as I have just posted a similar post in the Earls Court thread in the Serious Discussion part of the forum, but this is exactly the video I was talking about on here a few years ago. Just saying. |
