Some of you may have seen these images when they popped up last year, sadly on a trash celebrity website that watermarked it:
They even cropped page two:
But our good pal Jumeteor just sent me this unwatermarked copy:
However, page 1 is a bit out of focus. Where did these different versions come from, and has anyone got clean scans handy?

Check facebook www.facebook.com/groups/858266844192728/This group Queen Autographs- Buy with Confidence on facebook then search for Copenhagen you will see the topic. Also some co workers of the band stated this was a false. |

FWIW, it originally did come with a "certificate of authenticity":

It wouldn't be the first time a "certificate of authenticity" is bullshit.

It's a well known fake (and Jacky's worthless certificate sort of adds the cream on the top it because most fake autographs incl. the poor ones are accompanied by such a fan club certificate).
Freddie has never ever written a setlist when they already had roadies for that kind of work. Peter Hince always wrote a setlist and copied it for other roadies and band members (I have one such setlist in my collection). I spoke to Peter about this Copenhagen setlist and he has confirmed that it's crap.
Btw. we think this is the same forger who faked the Princes Of The Universe handwritte lyrics. He is good, he knows very well Freddie's handwriting but it's absolutely impossible to fake such a long document without making many mistakes. (The fact that Freddie has never written any setlists after, I don't know, year 1974, is just one of the proofs).

I spoke to Peter about this Copenhagen setlist and he has confirmed that it's crap. Interesting. Thanks for clarifying. But this varies from band to band. Lots of musicians write out their own setlists, so there was little inherent reason to doubt this was genuine.
And we also are relying on Hince's memory, and 40 year old memories aren't always intact. It's possible he didn't do the setlist every night and that a band member did it now and again.

Yes, Peter's memory may be failing but in this case it's an obvious fake. It's a *very good* attempt at Freddie's handwriting (and I also hesitated at first when I saw it last year) but it's impossible to fake more than a couple of words. No person in the world can fake such a long text without making and repeating some obvious mistakes. This isn't Freddie's handwriting and that's a better proof than Peter Hince's memory ;-)

And the fact that it dropped on the trashy tabloid website TMZ and not in Rolling Stone is probably a good indicator too.
