I got some info from QueenSongs.info, they said they were in Super Bear until August. I got screwed over lmao
I’m truly sorry my friend. It was not my intension to proof you’re wrong, but your research started with a wrong assumption.

The work you did still deserves respect.

So, now we’re looking for a date in the first half of July 1978, when the weather in Nice wasn’t very nice...

Regards!
No worries! I mean, it’s worst than accidentally spreading wrong information. So, the Tour de France crossed Queen’s path on July 18th, 1978, they were in Switzerland on their way to Belfort, France. So, Queen likely we’re at Montreux by July 16th or 17th. So that’s just a a day or two taken off the research.
It’s worse spreading around* not Than. Sorry lol
According to Diary.QueenSongs.info “Jazz” started directly on the 1st of July, and I‘m very sure it’s a trustworthy source. So I guess there isn’t much of a need to tackle June 1978.

Okay, so for Southern France weather reports, I found footage of the Tour de France in South France from July 11th - 17th, 1978. The path was no where near France, but not for a walking distance. For storms and their sizes, it’s a different story. That roughly narrows it down from July 1st - 10th.
Here are the weather reports from Nice Côte d'Azur International Airport, USAF Surface Hourly observation, and METAR Aviation routine weather reports. They reported the weather roughly every half an hour. I looked all the way up to the 18th, just in case

The only thunderstorm report found was on July 14th, 1978. It lasted from 9:00pm - 11:00pm. It wasn’t very windy, so it was probably perfect to record so there would be no additional noise on the recording.

Since the final touches were made in October 1978, I took a look at the weather, the worst weather was only moderate intermittent rain.

This is our final answer

Here is the source that collected the reports, I’ll link the day of the thunderstorm.

Maybe I can find out ITLOTG...R (One can only hope lol), all I need is a year (most likely 1974) and a location.
As you can see, most people who would care about your excellent research no longer post on this forum because it had been taken over by trolls. This place is pretty well empty now.

Small correction: The 18th stage of the Tour the France 1978 was on July 19th, started in Morzine and ended in Lausanne (via Montreux). So on that day (Brian’s birthday) the Tour crossed Freddie’s path.

In theory Queen stil could have been in Nice in the early morning of July 19 1978.
Wel done Queenfanatic_ !
The thunder at the and of ITLOTG...G very likely comes from a soundeffects LP, just like Carousell on Brighton Rock
