Hi everyone.
This is another review of a Queen concert in New York City: this time it is a review dedicated to the two shows held at Madison Square Garden on 1st and 2nd December 1977. Reporter Roman Kozak talks about them on the 24th December 1977 issue of Billboard magazine.
Kozak talks mostly about the first of the two shows, which took place on 1st December 1977 - 'It's Late' and 'My Melancholy Blues', not performed in the second show at Madison, are mentioned. In the show description, he mistakenly writes that the band opened with 'We Are The Champions' and then played another version of it at the end of the show (he clearly meant 'We Will Rock You'); Freddie's piano skills and the perfect combination with Brian's guitar are exalted. Kozak concludes by mentioning some of the songs played on stage, including 'Bohemian Rhapsody', 'Liar', 'I'm In Love With My Car', 'Sheer Heart Attack' and the 'Jailhouse Rock' medley - the song 'Machine Of The Dream' is another reference to Roger's IILWMC I think.
Enjoy!
