This is the first of three nights at Wembley Arena (known as Empire Pool at the time). Although the June '89 issue of Record Collector magazine claims the shows were properly recorded, sources close to the band have since denied this.

The band perform Liar instead of Stone Cold Crazy tonight. Freddie asks the audience, "Liar or Stone Cold Crazy?" Everyone shouts for Liar. "We're gonna do Liar!"

The fifth photo was taken by Gary Merrin. The last two rows of pics could be from any of the three nights, the first of which were taken by Gillian Parry.

60 minute tapes were presumably used, since the recording is almost exactly two hours long. '39 and Liar are cut for tape flips. We Are The Champions is also cut, and the tape runs out during Jailhouse Rock.
