I just wonder where they get the setlist from when no one of their users where there.
Like I said - that fellow posted saying his dad took notes of setlists the day after the shows themselves. So unfortunately even this eyewitness account is subject to error, since they were doing it on the fly. Even with his best intentions, surely some of the songs are still out of order.
The best note-takers have been and forever will be recordings. Tape just doesn't lie.

...Until it's edited..>!! :-)
ha, of course !
But in all my years of listening to audience tapes - the ratio of uncut vs edited is nowhere near that of official releases. People tend to leave audience tapes untouched.
For Queen particularly, there are literally two or three audience tapes where song order has been mangled on purpose (bootleggers aside), out of about 400.
Didn't one of the muddled up track orders (an '82 show I think?) make the Queen live book as is? I can't remember the comments below it but I think that's when bells started ringing about the editorial quality of the book.
Yes it did. I seem to remember the setlist was very strange, in an order that made no logical sense. From memory I think Tie Your Mother Down and Bo Rhap were very early in the set and I think one song (not Rock You) appeared twice. There was even a foot note in the book saying that this set list is correct! I'll have to have a look when I get home!

Yup - Zurich 82. He trusted bootleggers over common sense.
See attached, side 6.
Of course, the correct setlist eventually became known, and Greg's 426th error in the book was officially confirmed.

"This list is correct unlikely as it seems"
The more I think about this the more unlikely and incorrect it seems. I wonder if GB cane across recording that combined two of these shows in a cut and re edited format
Ah yes, it was indeed Zurich ! I just had to turn to the next page to find the comment.
It's the 4-16-82 show he's really referring to, with Under Pressure and Staying Power in the encore.
It just illustrates how clueless he is - that he couldn't spot an obvious edit on a bootleg, and had so little understanding of what bootleggers do, never mind having even less understanding of Queen to the point of going out of his way to declare that this is actually correct.
