This was standard during the whole Hot Space 'World Tour' (so not the UK leg)

I think there are also few versions of Teo Toriatte and Need your lovin tonight. Does anyone indicate me something else? PS: Does exist any recording or a concrete evidence of Sleeping on the sidewalk live? I heard they performed once or twice in 1977.

Lazing On A Sunday Afternoon isn't difficult to be found on the Internet, but it was played very few times because the band though that it didn't work fine on stage. Sleeping On a Sidewalk was never played live, according to Greg Brooks. But THIS MONTH Brian, Roger and guests played it on Russia, for a TV show, I think. This is not the same, but it's a live version... :-) Teo Torriate was played on pratically all Queen concerts in Japan from 1976 to 1985 (after 85 they never played there again). I think there's only one or two rare exceptions. But they NEVER played it on any other country, what explains the "rare" nature of a live performance of this song.

I could be wrong when I said that, but I remember of reading in Queen Live that they always played Teo Torriate in the japanese tours after it was composed, except one night.

I'm sure. Just check the 1976 or 1985 bootlegs from this site link. Teo Torriate is played on none of them.
