I think a couple of early reviews got muddled up between WWRY and WATC so I'd take that with a pinch of salt. |
| Martin Packer 26.02.2017 04:37 |
Yes. WWRY Fast and Slow would be the two versions. |

Sleeping On The Sidewalk was also performed. |

Nice one - thanks for posting this ! A bunch of pics I'd never seen before, presumably from that night? They're definitely from that tour. I wonder how photos from an American show ended up in a German magazine, if they'd had shows in Germany that year too? Is it a December 77? issue? Maybe January 78? |

For the cost of sending a few journos and photographers to the East Coast for a couple of days, they could increase their profits as German fans got news from the band and acted upon human built-in gregarious tribal behaviour ('Yanks like Queen? Well, now we'll like them even more!'). It makes sense. Nowadays, it probably doesn't happen as much because people can find out about their favourite artists' virtually in real time thanks to social media, so there's no need for that. |
| The Real Wizard 26.02.2017 20:28 |
^ good call. Makes sense to me. In an era when photos of bands often weren't even seen in album sleeves, the magazines were a big deal - it was pretty much the only way to learn about what your favourite bands were up to. |

Fantastic thread! It's always very interesting to read some new, especially confirmed information about Queen's live gigs. Is there a chance that it was recorded (professionally or not) ? |

Just in case it is of interest: link |

GT, re: >Sleeping On The Sidewalk was also performed. What evidence confirms this? (And that comment is not barben in any way.......) |

Death On Two Legs may have been played standalone - it was played as such just a few months back. From link - "Rockingsince73 is my dad; I showed him this website and helped him input some of his old setlists from his own handwritten journal he would update during/after each of these shows back in the day." That said - his notes are definitely wrong here, as there's a tape to prove it: link Queen often shuffled the deck early in a tour, but it looks like this should be taken with a pinch of salt, nonetheless. Even the day after a show, one could easily mess up the song order. |

I just wonder where they get the setlist from when no one of their users where there. Like in this case. A moderator did the last edit. The setlist isn't too chabby as some of the information matching with an article I've got from that night. link |

So unfortunately even this eyewitness account is subject to error, since they were doing it on the fly. Even with his best intentions, surely some of the songs are still out of order. The best note-takers have been and forever will be recordings. Tape just doesn't lie. |

But in all my years of listening to audience tapes - the ratio of uncut vs edited is nowhere near that of official releases. People tend to leave audience tapes untouched. For Queen particularly, there are literally two or three audience tapes where song order has been mangled on purpose (bootleggers aside), out of about 400. |

Didn't one of the muddled up track orders (an '82 show I think?) make the Queen live book as is? I can't remember the comments below it but I think that's when bells started ringing about the editorial quality of the book. |
| Vocal harmony 02.03.2017 08:37 |
Yes it did. I seem to remember the setlist was very strange, in an order that made no logical sense. From memory I think Tie Your Mother Down and Bo Rhap were very early in the set and I think one song (not Rock You) appeared twice. There was even a foot note in the book saying that this set list is correct! I'll have to have a look when I get home! |

See attached, side 6. Of course, the correct setlist eventually became known, and Greg's 426th error in the book was officially confirmed. There are dozens of wrong setlists. |

| The Real Wizard 04.03.2017 13:58 |
Ah yes, it was indeed Zurich ! I just had to turn to the next page to find the comment. It's the 4-16-82 show he's really referring to, with Under Pressure and Staying Power in the encore. It just illustrates how clueless he is - that he couldn't spot an obvious edit on a bootleg, and had so little understanding of what bootleggers do, never mind having even less understanding of Queen to the point of going out of his way to declare that this is actually correct. |

Just the other day a Detroit 77 show popped up that had been sitting in someone's attic for decades. Anything's possible. |
