Queenconcerts.com 07.12.1978 - Queen in Stadium, Chicago, USA [...] Length: 117:43 (46:14 + 71:29) Comment: Recently discovered soundboard recording, the best from this tour. Maybe slightly too much treble and a bit of hiss but still an amazing recording. Only a few small cuts. Most of God Save The Queen is missing. After Somebody To Love the show stopped for a while because of some sound problems. Spread Your Wings features a Don't Stop Me Now intro (quite a surprise - they didn't play Don't Stop Me Now until the European tour). The instrumental inferno with guitar and drums sounds very good (a bit like Hammer To Fall :-), the Keep Yourself Alive intro includes a short drum solo. {More info at Queenconcerts.com}

Strange thing about this gig is right after Somebody to Love they leave the stage for several minutes due to a technical problem. There were a few on that tour. Especially lighting problems. I saw Freddie berate the lighting guy when I saw them in Providence in 78. And the lighting guy is my fucking cousin. He did it again a few night later in Long Island, which can be heard on that disc after Fat Bottomed Girls. The Chicago show is performed extremely well. They were well oiled around this time and even the two Canadian shows in Montreal and Toronto are performed fantastically. You'll love this wehn you get it!!!

[ Wybren™ ] wrote: I just downloaded this gig from Rip in the hub. I believe it's an audience recording but the sound quality is awesome! The bit of Fun It in the KYA intro is very cool:) Great concert and thanx for the download Rip!

Jimmy Dean wrote: I have a version which seems to be slightly altered, but I think it's the orginal bootleg... only... it's soundboard until about 30 seconds into Spread Your Wings and then switched to an excellent audience recording. It's at 256 kpbs if any one has the exact same one
