I know right now there are no bootlegs pre 1973, but I really want to hear live versions of Jesus and the slow Stone Cold Crazy. Is there any chance of a bootleg with those songs?
The show at the Marquee in 1972 seems the most likely show with a recording.
Stone Cold Crazy wasn't performed in the slow version as previously thought. Brian said in an interview a few years ago that he suggested to Freddie about changing the tempo to a fast tempo early on. They rehearsed quite a lot when they were first performed so it seems likely that every show had the frantic version but some of the really early concerts could've had the slow version.
Jesus will have sounded like and been roughly the same length as the De Lane Lea demos in my opinion.
In my opinion, The Night Comes Down will be more interesting to hear as the record version features two guitars, on stage there would've been just the one guitar.
A recording may exist for 7/25 Truro
"A friend of Mike Grose apparently recorded this third Queen gig on two reel-to-reel tapes which are still in good shape. Not surprisingly, the owner of the tapes is reluctant to do a transfer and get the recording out." - Queenlive.ca

Well I hope atleast he gets it digitally transferred to preserve it. It's a shame after all this time that people just don't release more of this stuff. My clock has been well and truly ticking and I feel I'm not going to be around when.if it finally surfaces. :(
