These pictures were taken by Helly Lemmy - although some may be from the August show (the photographer unfortunately can't remember which are which). Thanks to Raf Foubert for tracking them down. Tear It Up sounds very close to the record version tonight. After the second song, Freddie says, "Hello again, Brussels!" As this flyer indicates, this second night was added due to ticket demand, but they weren't able to book the venue for August 25. Freddie is experimenting furthermore with falsetto vocals towards the end of the tour, lending some neat sounds to Under Pressure and the improv after Dragon Attack tonight. It's well worth noting that this version of Now I'm Here is a very edgy one! "C'mon, let's do a jam", suggests Freddie before Stone Cold Crazy. The band seem to have a great bit of fun for a minute before starting the song. With his voice weakening, Freddie struggles a great deal with the high notes in Radio Ga Ga and I Want To Break Free - although his delivery of the bridge of the latter is soulful and expressive, followed by a great solo from Brian.

There is some tape hiss, but it is only really a problem in the quieter moments, particularly in the acoustic set. The given date on the back cover is incorrect.

This is packaged in a cardboard slipcase designed to look like the LPs. It still has the wrong date printed on the back cover. Musically-speaking, it is identical to the LP. Sound-wise, it seems the bootleg company transferred it with a noise gate as the tape hiss is essentially eliminated (and ultimately leaving it with a bit less treble), making for a more balanced sound overall. The volume level doubles for disc 2 (but it doesn't overblow, as disc 1 is too quiet).

This alternate source also sounds great. Aside from a very slight gap in Under Pressure, the recording is complete.
