different harlequin suit

BobbytheCat, Yes, strangely, FM only wore the two tone leotard at the WATC video/gig. Unfortunately it seems there is no video footage of FM wearing the striped leotards.

Kurgan. Thats great, many thanks for finding out the date.

Different versions this kind of suit:
1. white sleeveless
2. black sleeveless (with diamonds in front)
3. white&black diamonds
4. white, red, green diamonds
5. black&white diamonds (reverse - Dayton)
6. half black, half white
7. white black striped
8. silver lurex
9. red lurex

Any chance you could post the photo?

You're welcome, another photo from later in the set shows him in a what looks like the green, red and white harlequin leotard.
It's in black and white so I can't tell for certain.
Strange goings on that night with costume changes perhaps?

Thanks so much for your help everyone.
Turns out we didn't miss the shows but just didn't notice the suit.
If Mr Kurgan could share the mentioned photos it would be most appreciated.

cheers

Update.
Some photos from the Dayton gig were shared privately.
They were taken by a professional photographer who sometimes sells prints of his work.
I've asked him if he can list some of the ones he took backstage at Dayton and will post links here if he does.

I have just noticed you can make out the harlequin variation through the dry ice in this photo.

Nope, that's the normal one

[QUOTE] [b]GT wrote:[/b] 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? [/QUOTE] If it is the same book I have (by Micheal O'Neill) it's listed as being from Boston '77. Here's another taken by Stephen Sherman at the same show that you may not have seen before:

Is this the photo and write up you’re referring to?
