Thanks. That reminds me - gotta watch Budapest again.

I was fortunate to have been able to attend 4 different Queen concerts in tour years between 1977 - 1983.
There were many outrageous live stage moments....Freddie had a rep for them. He truly was outrageous when onstage.
Queen came to Oakland/San Francisco right after Freddie had "re-created" himself into the super macho Freddie....he had cut his hair very short and had grown the mustache. Gone were the glam outfits, replaced with very masculine leather/ Nazi stormtrooper/Biker attire.
Well, the audience wasn't ready for the change apparently....certain fans yelled and one threw a razor up to the stage...it landed right at Freddie's feet. Freddie grabbed the razor and shouted into the microphone "Go shave your own hairy asshole!" Before lobbing it back into the audience.
The crowd LOVED IT. Everyone was shocked, but laughed and the show continued.

By the way, the microphone problems were at Earls Court 1977. The piano mic was okay, but the other one didn't work properly for several songs. Why they didn't exchange it (maybe with John's?) is a miracle to me. Queen by that date should have had spare microphones and cables you should think. [/QUOTE]
Do you know why? Because John DID sing during that concert, on many parts you can hear him sing.[/QUOTE]
Yes, you're right. You can see them sing into the same microphone, too (but still I couldn't hear John THAT clearly). But it could have helped to exchange the mics, though. I think Queen could rather go without John's singing.

God, scary seeing Freddie angry!!!I had heard about the razor blades stories and that Freddie liked that so much because he could be so defiant.
A real shock to the american audience, I guess to see freddie's new look, maybe that made them lose fans. I wonder what the other band members thought about freddie's new look and if they ever dared to tell him.

I read somewhere that during a concert,while sitting on the edge of the stage with the mic in his hand, Freddie loudly farted. The sound echoed throughout the stadium, and Freddie announced to the crowd,"I just had to let that one out,darlings".
hahahaha

At the end of a concert, Roger stood up to hit all his cymbals, but the new roadie though " the stool is in the way" so he moved it. Roger went to sit down but fell over and heaved the kit across the stage nearly hitting Freddie. Now that must have been scary seeing a drum kit flying at you.
Does anyone have a clip of that???
Poor roger! he's always falling off of his stool!
Like in the 'tie your mother down' video.
When the blast comes in on the first cymbal crash, it blew him off of his chair!
If you look closely you can see it in the vid. after the smoke has cleared a bit there is no roger there!
that made me chuckle, even though it probably hurt!
Bless him :p

I remember one story where they had a new roadie guy to look after the drums. I think this was during The Works tour. Anyway, before the first concert of that tour, Roger tunes his drums, like he always does. He likes his drum skins to be very tight, much more so than most drummers.
After Roger has left, the roadie guy checks the drums, and somehow thinks that the drums aren't well tuned, and losens up the skins.
During the concert Roger immediately notices that his drums don't sound right and is frantically retuning his drums in between the first songs of the concert.
I assume the roadie received hell that night :)

Here's a quote from Crystal on that one:
"...During sound checks Roger would spend forever tuning his kit, and during the show, with the heat of the lights and his pounding, would continue tuning during the show. On one occasion, sound check over and kit perfect, we head off until showtime. During the first number of the set RT is looking a bit put out, and after the first song starts frantically re-tuning the drums.
This continues for quite a few songs until he starts to look relaxed. After the show Shag is summoned to the dressing room, and RT said, "Er Shag, after the soundcheck did you re-tune my kit? And the reply was, "Oh no Rog, I wouldn't do that, I just tightened up the loose ones." ..."

at one concert in south america to show apprecitation they threw food and stuff on stage. as brian tried to dodge eggs being pelted at him, he slipped over. and i know it's not live, but when queen were doing the WWTLF video, roger said he was drunk.
was freddie really pissed at brian for not going simultaneously or did he just yell for the fans?
