This is the last of four shows at the Wembley Arena, marking the end of the brief UK stint of the European 'The Works' Tour and Queen's final performance at the venue. This is probably Freddie's best gig of the four London shows although it's still a far cry from his fantastic vocal showings in August. While Brian's daughter was in the audience during the previous night, Roger has brought his son Felix along for this show, so Brian dedicates 'Love of My Life' to him and all the other children in the audience tonight. As it has become the norm across the UK shows, the band once again go through a few choruses of 'Saturday Night's Alright (For Fighting)' before the big highlight from 'A Night at the Opera'. The cover would get dropped for most remaining shows of the leg but pop up again in Stuttgart and the first night in Vienna.
Snippets at this show: 'Johnny B. Goode' by Chuck Berry (during 'Now I'm Here'), 'Machines (Or 'Back to Humans')' (during Spike's keyboard solo) and 'Saturday Night's Alright (For Fighting)' by Elton John (before 'Bohemian Rhapsody').
