My Comment:
 
A wonderful audience recording from Chicago during the 1978 North-American Tour. This recording has recently been discovered and has excellent sound. During the show you can hear a little tape-hiss, but nothing major. This is an almost complete show as it misses 10 / 15 seconds at the end of "We Are The Champions". Also "God Save The Queen" is cut after 20 seconds. During the instrumental section after "Brighton Rock" it is possible that you hear some sounds that later probably evolved into "Hammer To Fall", it sounds a bit familiar. There were some problems with the sound during the show, as Freddie announces after "Somebody To Love" that the band will leave the stage for a while to fix the problems. After a couple of minutes the band returns and continues with the show. Of course, the waiting is nicely cut out of the recording. Due to the very nice soundquality and the surprises during the show, e.g. the "Don't Stop Me Now" Intro before "Spread Your Wings", this bootleg is absolutely among my favorites.
