Great post, but I have to disagree with a few things:
<font color=lime>KillerKing840 wrote: In the late 1977 started the News Of The World tour, and You Take My Breath Away was removed from the setlist, whereas Love Of My Life was added - the way we all have already seen: Brian on 12-string acoustic guitar and Freddie on vocals. '39 remained on the list, so their acoustic set was '39 and LOML.
If you include Dreamers Ball in your Jazz acoustic set, then why not include My Melancholy Blues in the NOTW acoustic set?
In 1982 there was the Hot Space tour, and the only acoustic song was Love Of My Life.
Not true, because they performed Life Is Real acoustically at a few US shows.
In 1998 he had the Another World tour and did the song again, like in 92 and 93.
Technically not true, as Brian used a 6-string in '98.
In the Aruba concert in 2005 there was no '39, only Love Of My Life and Say It's Not True, same for the both North American gigs.
I was at the New Jersey show, and Brian played '39. He played it in LA, too.
And would you believe I found that topic very shortly after I wrote my earlier post in this thread? You may have seen me in there, thanking Serry.

Thanks!
On a related note, would you guys know when they started to sing "Love of my life" with the audience participating? At the Houston '77 gig video, Freddie sings it by himself...

It definitely wasn't Portland 77, like Greg Brooks claims. There is no recording of an American/Canadian Queen audience singing along to the song. I think the first shows where the audience sang along were the UK 78 shows in Stafford and London. I don't think the other European audiences had caught on just yet. And for the record, the North American audiences didn't really clue in until Brian came in '93.
