different harlequin suit

Browsing through the very fine website http://www.queenlive.ca I found a picture of Freddie in his black and white harlequin suit which seems to be a negative version of the regular one (black is white and white is black).

Has anyone ever seen this before and/or can tell me more about it?
Cheers

Wouldn't have noticed that if you didn't point it out

Interesting point, He's wearing his regular black and white harlequin suit in the rest of the pictures taken that night. Could it be edited?

It's definitely not edited. That'd be a hell of a photoshopping job, and to what end?

Great catch - it's definitely from another show.

I'll attach the photo in question here, as I'm going to have to remove it from my site.

Thanks for pointing this out.

Maybe he put it on inside out?

LOL,

I've no idea if you're being serious or not, but it made me chuckle anyway. Imagine the daft sod doing a show with the suit inside out :p

In all the years I have been studying the band's stage costumes, I have never seen this variation of Freddie's Harlequin leotard before. Amazing. I have recently been surprised and intrigued by another leotard that Freddie wore on stage but in RED! This was printed in a recent picture book of the band. Although you can clearly see the black belt, could this have been doctored?

I'd say that's black but under stage lighting. You see this a lot. Look at this picture of Brett Anderson.. for years I thought WOW I've never seen him in this outfit before until I did the math.

I noticed it as this is my favorite Freddie costume.
My thought was also it might be a (very good) photoshop job.
But as Mr. Wizzard already mentioned, to what end?
Maybe we've all missed the few shows he actually wore this variation.
As we are talking costumes, he only wore the black/white We Are The Champions outfit on the video shoot and concert, did he?

While I'm at it, is there any video material of the striped jump suits (2 versions) used on the News Of The World US tour?

I have another photo with him wearing that variation, I'll ask the photographer if he remembers where and when he took it and get back to you.

Does that black & white diamond costume feature from some concerts in 1976/1977
yes i have seen this many times before.

Awesome!, that would be great :)
Cheers!

He got back to me with a nice little story, and it's Dayton Ohio December 4th 1977.
