Another Marquee photo, this one’s not exactly the rarest, it’s been around. Are we sure that's the Marquee? It looks like the mics on Roger's kit are placed differently.

Probably May 5, 1979, in Sapporo, Japan. Freddie jumps into the audience during the encore, near Big Paul (Superman). Photos by Midori Tsukagoshi. Wow - very rare and unique shots. The bodyguard isn't far.
What makes you think they're Sapporo? Are they in one of those Japanese books you mentioned?

Here are two unwatermarked 12/22/77 shots. I only had low res copies (like 500px) before, so these ones were upscaled. I think the upscaler did a fairly decent job, although it's a bit too smooth if you zoom in too much. Either way, phenomenal shots. Quality is perfect thanks a lot for sharing

Another Marquee photo, this one’s not exactly the rarest, it’s been around. This pic is on the Queen I back sleeve. and since we all know all of the pics from that cover was taken between 1969-1973. Qyeenlive.ca posted this pic on Queen show in Blackpool, in the winter gardens on March 1, 1974 but he didn't said that the pic is from the Blackpool show and could be from one of the Queen II tour shows in UK but according to the Queen I back sleeve all of the pics was taken from 1969-1973 and also Roger wore the same outfit that he wore on Marquee so this could be from Marquee or one of the 1973 shows

Great observation about the album cover. So indeed, that means it must be April 73 at the latest.
It looks like Roger is wearing the same outfit, and the boom stand with the mic on his lowest tom is folded the same way - but the other mics don't seem to be placed the same way. But the quality isn't great in the bulk of the photos, so it's hard to be conclusive either way.

What makes you think they're Sapporo? Are they in one of those Japanese books you mentioned? Yeah, it's in that book of photos from Japan I got recently. The pic wasn't dated, but it has to be from the '79 tour, and the tour diary entries only mention Freddie jumping into the audience on May 5 in Sapporo. I omitted one pic in that series of four, so here it is. This would be pic #2 in that series:

Two shots, likely from the same show (Only three shows that seem possible are Portland, Boston, and 2nd Detroit, going off Freddie's outfit). Both by Neal Preston.

For the 4-16-78 page, there are clearly shots from two different nights. Although the photos are black and white, you can tell that in some of the pics, Freddie is wearing the black and white suite and in others he is wearing the orange and green one.

To add again, all of the pics on the second page on that website have Freddie in the green and orange outfit, and no pics of him on the first page do, leading me to believe that the second page is actually just mislabeled and should actually say April 17. Another point: those pics on your site for the show on 4/21/1978 have him in yet a different outfit. The black one he wore in Copenhagen and Hamburg. The pic below of John and Freddie makes me think Liar was played on the night this was taken. Obviously this rules out the 16th (which we already knew based on the website with the 4/16 pics), but the 17th and 21st both likely had Liar in the set. However, because I think that the second page of Brussels pics is mislabeled and should say April 17 (they obviously aren't from the same night as the first page), this means the ones on the 4/21 page on your site are likely on their appropriate page already. It would also make sense for Freddie to wear the green and orange suit on a second night, as that's what he did in Rotterdam as well (and in New York on the previous leg. Likely did this two night alternation in Philly as well) If everything I'm saying makes sense, here's short version: 4/16 - Black and white diamond 4/17 - Green, orange, and white diamond 4/21 - Full black Meaning that the picture on the 4/17 page on your site should be moved to the 4/16 page, as Freddie has the black and white outfit.

New York, December 1st 1977. Taken by Robert Miyares. First ones I've seen of Freddie with the Yankees Jacket and hat. That's great! John also seems to be wearing similar hat. Which part of the show this could be?

I think we've got enough evidence to proving that the pic of Roger is from Marquee gig in April 9, 1973. he wore the same outfit at the backstage too

Excellent analysis.
But only one caveat - is it not possible that Philippe Carly shot them on the 16th and 21st ?
And of course there's a slight chance that they were all taken on the 16th. Maybe Mercury changed his outfit during May's solo.
So I just emailed Phillipe as well. Hopefully she'll know.
We're getting closer.

Which part of the show this could be? Gotta be the end of Champions there. The Yankees had just won the world series for the first time in a generation, so that was a big deal. Someone in their entourage was probably smart enough to leave a few hats and bullpen jackets in the dressing room.
Hard to imagine the idea of "we are the champions" being a new thing. But it was. The crowd went nuts.

So a link to the facebook page would be great - please do.

That photo was taken by Mick Rock. Can we be 100% certain he wasn't in the mix in 1972 yet?

We're getting closer.
Looking back at it, it seems that on the second page on Phillipe's site, while Freddie is wearing exclusively the green and orange outfit, he is also wearing his jacket in all of them too, which means those pics could potentially be any song from the end of Bo Rhap through to Tie Your Mother Down, where Freddie would usually put his jacket on for the rise out of the trap door, and it's entirely possible that they all are from the 16th. I still think that's unlikely, but who knows? Freddie's outfit roster was never greater than it was on the Euro 1978 tour, which makes this all the more frustrating trying to pin down dates to pictures since he would often swap outfits at various points in the show. I think the most interesting one is Rotterdam 4/19, where he uses his North American Races suit (the full white one) for the main set, and by the encores he is wearing the full black outfit. There is a pic on your site (the 4/19 page) of him wearing his jacket overtop the black outfit, which leads me to believe he may have swapped outfits during Bo Rhap. Lots of possibilities. My original conclusion isn't as sound as I thought it was.
