Can anyone name this concert ... and provide another Freddie Fuck-Up question?

The first half hour of the gig was terrifying for the three of us because we were playing like trojans to make up for Freddie's deficiencies." Spike Edney also recalled that Freddie was "ad-libbing, making things up, singing crap" for the first half hour.

I’m sure it’s a gig in australia 1985 where Freddie was drunk, he’d been partying before the show with Spandau Ballet’s Tony Hadley and came on stage with his trousers the wrong way round

Mostly right ...

Right idea ... Right continent ... but wrong country

Do you another Freddie Fuck-up for this "quiz"?

Tragically there is no tape, that we know of.

It would've been great to see Anthony and Frederick having a good time.
John hated Hot Space. Frederick's favourite singer was not Paul Rodgers. Roger didn't compose 'Innuendo.' 'Bohemian Rhapsody' hasn't got 180 vocal overdubs.

I wish I could ask a question of Roger as to when he was too sh*t faced for a concert. I do remember how he was led off by girlfriend after the WWRY Vegas premiere.

As to Brian......one of the two times I had the chance to speak to him was in Hollywood after they got the star on the Walk of Fame. I was with my bride of one day, told him of seeing Queen in Harrisburg in '74 as my first concert, and he blew our minds by saying...'ahh, the old Farm Arena'.

How in the hell would he remember THAT show!?!?!

Because, that's the one where he got totally plastered with Joe Perry of Aerosmith beforehand, and swore off ever getting drunk before a show again.

(I got so wasted as a 16 year old at that show that I went to our van before Mott the Hoople played....not to wake up until we had almost crossed the Michigan-Ohio state line on the way back)
