In the '81 Argentine show Freddies mic goes out during one of the songs, but I can't remember which one. More like a technical difficulty than mistake on their part.

On the WWRY video during the fast version of WWRY right at the beginning, Freddie sings the same verse twice.
There's another mistake during the Tokiyo 1982 show. The mistake is in the guitarsolo in BohRap, just before the harmonics-part, it sounds very weird.
I'm sure that, by their own account, they rarely played a show without a mistake.
By my account as well. :)

Yeah, it seems that Brian broke a string. For all you musicians, is was the second Bb scale in the solo, and he broke a string as soon as he let go of the full bend on the 18th fret of the high E. I can't tell if that's the string that broke, because the camera focuses on his face, not his guitar. But considering he had trouble on the last notes of the solo, it was probably the B string that broke.
As a guitarist, I know that's one's worst nightmare in a performance, to immediately have to find another string to play the correct notes on. Split second decisions, and the right note isn't always hit.
Ouch. That's really not fun, breaking a string ...
Imagine breaking a piano. Ugh, Freddie would've been pissed.

He broke also a string during a show in '78 or '79. I know it was during Killer Queen, Brian was very pissed-off at the moment, they had to re-start the song.

Brian's solo during Somebody To Love, in Sao paulo...
Exellent version of the song- actually, could have been the best ever!!!- and than... Brian played sth horrible on his guitar...

Yes, you're right, this happened when they were performing Save Me.
What's that 70s concert where there's a massive noise right during the middle of 'My Melancholy Blues'? Might have been Earls Court. And what the hell was it?!
They couldn't play MELANCHOLY BLUES at Earls Court as it was before they released NOTW...
It was at Earl's Court, however, and you're talking about YOU TAKE MY BREATH AWAY...
To answer your question: no idea...:P

I do have one Game-era bootleg where Roger stumbles on the words to IILWMC and Freddie takes over. It was surprising, and fantastic, to hear....
Please let me know which bootleg/concert it is on. I heard it once or twice and I loved it but forgot the scource.
Thanks
Also - I have no idea whether this is true, but I've seen it in multiple places - during a show on the Queen Lizzy tour, Brian got hit by a dozen eggs while wearing a white shirt, slipped, and fell on his ass. That's the worst thing about wearing white, you know there's a mess somewhere with your name on it.
I don`t have the live videos anymore, so I should ask: did Brian keep using the RS in the second part of Bo Rhap at Tokyo or did he change it by the Birch copy? If he used the original RS, then the roadies are so efficient because they`d have only the opera section for putting the string and tuning it
