1. About the Ibex bootleg:

    Okay, I’d like to apologise in advance for the quality of this next upload. It sounds like the bootlegger didn’t know what he was doing, so there’s quite a lot of hiss, and it sounds a little muffled. It is missing one track: Rain, due to it being officially released.

    NOTE: There was an encore, with Roger, Brian, sharing the stage with Freddie, but the tape had run out.

    If you have anymore questions, please leave a message at the usual number.

    From the notes:

    Recorded by Geoff Higgins (Ibex roadie) on his Grundig TK14 reel-to-reel machine, later sold in an auction to a private collector, then lent to Queen Production for the purpose of including ‘Rain’ in the FM Solo Collection box set, then leaked to the bootleg market. This concert was very important because Ibex were joined by Brian May and Roger Taylor for the encore which means it’s the very first concert with Freddie, Brian and Roger on one stage. Sadly, the tape ran out after 30 minutes so it misses this encore.
