Queen- Live in Tokyo, 3/31/1976

The Night At The Opera Tour is almost done! This is Queen’s return visit to the Budokan, the second of three. The quality is a step down from past shows (It was originally a half-semitone show as well) but is still very good, it’s also 99% complete (Slight cut at the beginning of “Seven Seas Of Rhye“.) This is a great show, with a very enthusiastic crowd (screaming into the 7th octave). Freddie’s voice has also fully recovered from earlier shows and is in very good shape. The setlist also has two big surprises! So now time to analyse the songs. The rock section of “Bohemian Rhapsody“ sounds great, “Ogre Battle“ is very good, with Freddie embellishing on “The soup is COLD ON the table“ and singing the rest well, “Sweet Lady“ has some rough spots but is pretty good overall, “White Queen“ is typically great, “Flick Of The Wrist“ sounds good, the verses of “Bohemian Rhapsody“ are strong with Freddie h
