Comments:
Early show of the European Hot Space Tour in Stockholm.
That's a very interesting performance with many anecdotes and a very special setlist. The audience started to sing We Will Rock You after Get Down Make Love so the band played a little jam of it with them. They also played a very rare version of Not Fade Away before Crazy Little Thing Called Love.
During the first nights of this tour, Brian did not play his Brighton Rock solo. That night, he played instead a solo with Spike Edney on keyboards.
Funny incident at the beginning of Save Me when Freddie begins to sing but Brian does not play. "It didn't start so fucking well..."
Otherwise, that's a good concert but not the best they did. They are not totally in their tour yet but that's still a nice recording to have. The quality is between very good and very good + in some spots with a slight tape hiss.
