I think a couple of early reviews got muddled up between WWRY and WATC so I'd take that with a pinch of salt.
Martin Packer · Member since
Yes. WWRY Fast and Slow would be the two versions.

Sleeping On The Sidewalk was also performed.

Nice one - thanks for posting this ! A bunch of pics I'd never seen before, presumably from that night? They're definitely from that tour.
I wonder how photos from an American show ended up in a German magazine, if they'd had shows in Germany that year too?
Is it a December 77? issue? Maybe January 78?

Record company publicists and/or those who were organising the '78 Euro-Leg may have been interested in raising the expectation by showing how well the shows were doing in America (and Canada). For the cost of sending a few journos and photographers to the East Coast for a couple of days, they could increase their profits as German fans got news from the band and acted upon human built-in gregarious tribal behaviour ('Yanks like Queen? Well, now we'll like them even more!'). It makes sense.
Nowadays, it probably doesn't happen as much because people can find out about their favourite artists' virtually in real time thanks to social media, so there's no need for that.

^ good call. Makes sense to me.
In an era when photos of bands often weren't even seen in album sleeves, the magazines were a big deal - it was pretty much the only way to learn about what your favourite bands were up to.

Fantastic thread! It's always very interesting to read some new, especially confirmed information about Queen's live gigs. Is there a chance that it was recorded (professionally or not) ?
These are often "assumption set lists". Not bad as a basic, but not the ultimate truth. Neither are concert articles.
The linked set list is missing " Love of my Life" and the sound files are just samples from other sources.

Still, there could be some truth to it - Doing All Right was played in New York. And the medley may have been shorter for the first few nights - the review of the next night in Boston says the medley ended with I'm In Love With My Car, which is kosher with this Portland setlist (kind of - Millionaire Waltz into KQ?).
Death On Two Legs may have been played standalone - it was played as such just a few months back.
From http://www.setlist.fm/user/rockingsince73 -
"Rockingsince73 is my dad; I showed him this website and helped him input some of his old setlists from his own handwritten journal he would update during/after each of these shows back in the day."
That said - his notes are definitely wrong here, as there's a tape to prove it:
Queen often shuffled the deck early in a tour, but it looks like this should be taken with a pinch of salt, nonetheless. Even the day after a show, one could easily mess up the song order.

I just wonder where they get the setlist from when no one of their users where there. Like in this case. A moderator did the last edit.
The setlist isn`t too chabby as some of the information matching with an article I`ve got from that night.
