After watching Wembley for the first time in years I suddenly rememberd the bandmates balloons floating off into the air infact it looks like fred and bri escaped and rog gets pulled into the crowd! Anyone know where they ended up? Ever shown up on ebay lol? The other thing was, did this just happen at Wembley didn't see it at any other show .

For some reason I want to say they were at Knebworth too
As far as them popping up again after a concert... I doubt it since they were probably at least 30lbs deflated and were shredded to pieces and trampled by the crowd.
A real treasure: the beach ball that Freddie kicked back into the crowd at Knebworth. :D

I went to 3 of the "Magic Tour" 1986, UK gigs, Wembley (First Night) Manchester (????) & Knebworth & I am sure all three of those gigs had the inflatables, but could be wrong about Manchester, the old grey cells are fading in the last 27 years......

No inflatables at Newcastle
:-(

That's right, none at Newcastle, but Newcastle had something that Wembley didn't....- the flaming beacons atop the stage facade. Obviously, Wembley's overhanging roof section made they're inclusion impossible.

Flaming beacons at Knebworth also. And Pipe organ behind Brian when he played keyboards.

Was it in Manchester or in Newcastle where Freddie entered the stage from a "trap-door" beneath the stage with a puff of smoke? I'm not sure if he did have these different entrances during that tour.
One which was planned (according to Ratty's or Phoebe's book) was that he should be lowered onto stage from the scaffolding in a "bucket" but he couldn't do it because of the height....then there is that urban legend of him think about rifing a huge plastic dick to the stage !? I guess this NEVER materialized...

I took these two photos at Wembley on the 12th.

There were no inflatables at Manchester and only one of the four beacons lit during Is This The World We Created.........some woman joined them on stage for the Rock n Roll Melody, but to this day I have no idea who she was.

it was a long time ago,(I could be getting things muddled up) I am sure they were there (But most likely wrong) & I do remember the woman coming on stage & the beacon torches. I also remember, some guys climbing the fence, to do a pitch invasion & running to get a good place & some guys already on the pitch dropping one of them.
