Interesting! No idea what it is

There's something very weird about that photo, the background looks like an analogue optical effect. Or am I seeing things? If so, it would mean a TV performance, maybe one of the mimed KQ performances? In other words I have no clue

Nice find.
Indeed, it looks like something from TV. Maybe it's from one of the TOTP versions of Now I'm Here ?
thank you all for the answers, a lost TOTP version of Now I'm Here is possible, in the "Rock on with 45" TV Programme john clothes are the same and he played same bass but we can't find same background in shuttershock' photos fron this event

In the same day at "rock on with 45" in manchester we can find also ABBA on stage https://www.shutterstock.com/it/editorial/image-editorial/rock-on-with-45-tv-programme-manchester-britain-25-dec-1974-4232300y
In the background we see Roger's bass drum with Queen crest.
I have some dubs about the date 25 december... in the same shatterstock packet for sale there are also a group of live photos (probably from Rainbow Theatre) maybe it can be a date for on air trasmission or a placeholder for an unknown date on december '74

Yes it (25 december) is olny the on air date, i have found correct information in an Abba site https://abbaontv.com/programmes/1974/169
Queen played Killer Queen
Filmed: Thursday 19 December 1974
Location: Granada Studios, Manchester, England
Broadcast: Wednesday 25 December 1974, ITV (Granada), UK
Release status: This programme has not been included on any officially released video or DVD
Shown in: UK
The Queen connection (taken from the site)
Before the 'cast' photo emerged, there was quite a bit of investigation work that went on between fans and it all centered around a photo of ABBA in front of what looked like Roger Taylor's drum-kit. That would made sense of Björn's comments in ABBA - The Book p.114, "One day we were in Manchester for ITV with the group Queen. Their (Queen's) performance, using their tape, was magnificent, but ours was very average."
Clarification of the filming date
It was originally presumed this was filmed on 25 November but it has been pointed out that: not only did Queen perform their first and only concert in Finland on that date (as part of their Sheer Heart Attack tour which began in Manchester on 30 October 1974) but they had arrived in Finland the previous day (24 November 1974) according to news reports. Queen finished the European leg of their tour on 13 December 1974 in Barcelona, and the next concert wasn't until 5 February 1975 (in Columbus, Ohio), so their schedule would definitely have allowed them to travel to Manchester for the recording.
but john photo doesn't match with this show
