That's great! John also seems to be wearing similar hat. 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.
I assume this MSG concert is the event that gave another meaning to this song, and eventually made it serviceable on all similar triumph and victory moments to this day.

US 1976. Taken by Chester Simpson. If I had to guess the show, it'd be Berkeley, as according to a short bio on a site, he moved to San Francisco in 1975 for an education in photography. Nice detective work. You're right - it's Berkeley. Here's a few more shots from that set: Thanks a lot for extra shots

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 You guys here are great, catching all these tiny details.
That photo was taken by Mick Rock. Can we be 100% certain he wasn't in the mix in 1972 yet?
Thanks a lot well I am sure that he started photographing of Queen in 1973 with the start of Queen II photoshoot session

Nothing particularly groundbraking, but Freddie here is wearing this glove that we mentioned before. This is from a photo session with Michael Putland. The date should be 12 February 1974.

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.
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. I just heard back from her. She just saw them on the 16th. She said she liked the band, but not enough to see them twice on the same tour for 320 Belgian Francs (8 Euros), which was a pretty penny for a show back then !

Interesting! This must be like the only show where Freddie wore both the black/white suit and the orange/green one.

I'm just looking for any evidence available and Michael Putland's website has other photos from this session under 1973, so there you go. I must have confused the dates with other photo session by M. Putland. My mistake.

Is there any higher resolution pictures of these two photos available? I'm working on a special project so I am seeking the best quality photos of each one I come across. So there might be a few of these in later periods. Here are the photos:

Here’s a photo of Queen at The Garden in Penzance, March 29th, 1974. It looks similar, but I think it's a different night. Compare the two photos - the backdrop is different, and Mercury is wearing another necklace.

Here’s a photo of Queen at The Garden in Penzance, March 29th, 1974. it's looking so similar to Imperial college 10/26/73
Roger's outfit is the same in here so I'm sure it's from Imperial College 10/26/73

My mistake, that’s actually the Imperial College gig on October 26th, 1973 You can see right here that Freddie’s got the same necklace’s and the backdrop is the same.

Here you are discussing the origin of the photo, and then there is me, realising for the first time that Freddie even had different coloured shoes for this outfit

Anyone know anything about this pic and about this pic? Radio & Records was based in LA, so it looks like late March 75.
They could be with someone who interviewed them for radio, as that's how they spent most of their mornings on the road back then - but it's probably someone who worked for the magazine.

I thought that's the late 74 in one of the countries that they went for European Sheer Heart Attack tour. Thanks a lot for the information

Just did some digging. Indeed it's the Radio & Records head office in LA, March 1975. Photo taken by David Hiller.
