Interesting Earls Court observation.

That doesn't sound like a live on the fly mix to me, and yet the piano vocal mix is present and clear. Oof.

First I've heard of big screens at a Queen show in the 70s

Yup.

It's why there are pro shot videos of a lot of bands at the Summit in Houston in the late 70s and early 80s - Aerosmith, The Eagles, Kiss, The Who, Springsteen, and probably Zeppelin too. The bands had a deal with the venue. And fortunately someone had the common sense to press that ever-elusive red button to grab mono board feeds so that we could enjoy the videos all these years later.

And to think the place where all this magic was captured is now one of those mega-churches..

Queen played again at The Summit on 1980 and 1982. I would be wonderfull if any of those shows had been recorded too...
