"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?!"
Well, that was not a mistake. You can hear the same noise when he performed it at Hyde Park, probably it's normal for the song. To me it sounds like someone's hitting something, maybe it could be a drum-sound, I really don't know.

I heard that an amp exploded ... or something
Which show was it where Freddie started playing Spread Your Wings strangely and then said "I don't remember the chords"?
I actually liked the way it sounded...I wish they would have played more of the song that way :)

"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"
Ah the mythical "Queen-Lizzy" Tour. My nipples grow erect as I think about it :) I read somewhere that there was a bit of competition betwen the two bands as to who got the best crowd reaction. Also that Brian joined Lizzy onstage on at least one occasion. Anyone have any info on this - any bootlegs available?

Goin Back - It was Osaka 1982.
During the Magic Tour, Freddie forgot some lyrics of Radio Ga Ga on their show in Vienna.
On the same show you can hear the audience singing happy birthday to Brian before Love Of My Life, nice thing.

Well- this is a mistake, simply because they didn't play MY MELANCHOLY BLUES @ Hyde Park...:P

Yes, but I was talking about YOU TAKE MY BREATH AWAY, this song was played at Hyde Park and Earls Court, the strange sound in the middle is normal for the song, that's not a mistake.

'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."
I'm sure he broke more strings
I'm sure he broke more strings
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
That's Glasgow 79.
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
Unfortunately we can't tell, because they never zoomed in on Brian's guitar in the opera section. So perhaps that's the answer - they purposely didn't show the Red Special copy, probably because they didn't want to have an official video of Brian playing another guitar. Surely by TYMD, his techie had fixed the string, and off he went into the riff.

Unfortunately not. :(
I noticed during Hard Life on Live In Rio Freddie forgets the words right away but saves face with some la-da-dee-da-da's. :)

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------Well, to put matters straight: Brian's birthday on the Magic Tour happened to be in Cologne ...
Oh yes, Brian's mistake during Somebody To Love in Sao Paulo in 1981 is truly fascinating ...
And Fred's reaction to Brian's mistake at the beginning of Save Me (don't know from where and when)is also among my all time faves: "It didn't start off so fuckin' well" - great fun!!!

Remember Brian had a nightmare at the Brixton gig that was videoed: he has to change guitars in Resurrection (I think) and Last Horizon has a false start. Also at the tribute gig in '93 he breaks a string in, I think, Hammer to Fall leaving Toni Iommi to look even more shit scared!!! Haha!!!
I think the tribute is because the guitar wasn`t on tune, not that he broke a string. During solo tours he swapped guitars because he used different tuning (drop D) in one of them, and standard in the other
