Freddie's voice is starting to weaken a bit, but he still has plenty of great moments tonight. Overall it's a great performance, as usual on this tour. The show (as well as Marillion's opening set) is broadcast live on the German radio station "SWR 3." He embellishes a lyric in Under Pressure: "Sat on a fence, but it didn't fuckin' work!" Freddie starts a vocal exchange with the audience (perhaps even to his surprise) during Another One Bites The Dust. He would continue to do this throughout the tour. Brian tosses in the riff of The Beatles' I Feel Fine after the impromptu, after which the band try out Gimme Some Lovin' as they did in Leiden. Towards the end of his solo spot, Brian plays bits of the melody from Golden Days, a song he wrote for Japanese pop sensation Minako Honda and would produce in 1987. Brian, before he starts to play Love Of My Life: "Freddie wrote a magical song. It goes like this." Fish (from Marillion, one of the acts who opened for Queen) joins the band for Tutti Frutti, as seen in pic 22. After the song, Freddie tells the audience, "We love ya. What a corny, shitty thing to say, I know. But we love you anyway." Freddie cracks yet another Crazy joke: "This is called a guitar, and I can never play it. But I'll get away with murder; just watch!" The show was broadcast on the radio in the US later in the year. It was named "Done Under Pressure" by the folks at Off The Record. We Are The Champions was broadcast on TV not long after the show by ZDF. This is apparently all that exists, according to one of the presenters as heard (in German) before the concert footage begins: "We would love, of course, to show you more footage of the show, but the air time is limited and I have to tell you also that it's also the band's management's fault, because they allowed us to film only 3 minutes, but I believe that 3 minutes are enough for this great band." 
Some footage from before this show is seen on the Magic Years documentary, and a few seconds of concert footage have been seen in many documentaries - an aerial shot, and Freddie kicking a ball into the audience. It's currently unknown precisely how much footage exists from this show. Another video of the Mannheim show may exist, filmed as a tester for the upcoming Budapest film. The director filmed this concert with a camcorder, just to give a basic idea of the show to the Hungarian film crew in July. The footage may still exist, but the director says it may have been taped over. The picture of Marillion (the fourth and final opening act) was submitted by Lukáš Bosík. A few of the pics were submitted by Alessio Rizzitelli. Pic 25 was submitted by Janneman. The last one could be from any of the German gigs on this tour (Mannheim, Berlin, Munich, or Cologne). |

This bootleg LP was released in Germany soon after the show, in August 1986. It was re-released in Italy in 1987 with the same artwork, in very limited quantities. The LP itself had a different label, and the matrix number on the cover is "Q 501/2/3/4." |

In addition to the Imtrat label's semi-official releases called "Live USA" from 1992 containing material from the Seattle '77 and Fukuoka '82 shows, they released a CD of the same name containing Mannheim material the following year. These discs were entitled Live USA because the Imtrat label found a loophole in German copyright law stating that live recordings of foreign bands recorded in foreign countries were not protected. |

This 2000 bootleg is a phenomenal document of the band, either straight from a radio broadcast or perhaps even a pre-FM soundboard tape. It sounds about as good as the official Live At Wembley release. The MC's speech at the end of the show is included. A few gaps in the high quality tape are patched in with a different radio broadcast, which Gypsy Eye added their crackling sound to. |
