Another set of colour corrections. This time, the Jim R photoset from Inglewood 3-3-77. Full set here: we.tl/t-TY1uQz9uHZBefore and after example:

Brian playing his guitar (February 27, 1979 Paris, France) Nice job removing the artifacts, but it feels like it's lost a little bit of its sharpness (similar to some of the others you've done, too).
And are you sure the photo was taken on the first night ? I have it on my site under the 27th, but I've stated it could be from any of the three nights.

It sort of feels the same too. Not sure what's causing it, as I put the setting for the luminance noise reduction around 20. And, I forgot that some of the pictures on your site don't have exact dates, so I just slapped on the date thinking it was correct.

Nice. But I have mixed feelings about this set, as sometimes the details in the background are lost when it's darkened.
That said, it's flash photography - your version version is more authentic to what the audience would have seen.

I think in order to make them look a bit better, I should turn down the luminance noise reduction by a bit. But not by too much.

With that said, I should redo them (excluding the Yamaguchi ones).

Even when I click to view it as if it were a desktop.
I used this app Remini that I subscribe to. Sometimes it sucks and creates a totally new face...but an image like that where it just needed a little sharpness, it works wonderfully.

This photo (and three others others on my site) are labelled as Oxford, but I'm pretty sure that's incorrect now.
Here I have actual photos from Oxford, taken by Robert Ellis. First, the backdrop here is different, and Mercury's outfit has a white collar:
Zoomed in we can see the mic placement on Roger's top tom is different:
And here the wall is clearly different:
Any thoughts on which venue the first one actually may be ?

You need to right click on the photo itself to get its link. You were pointing to a link to a page containing the photo (if that makes sense).

The 3 shots of Freddie with black and white cape like outfit was on Queen concerts.com under the October 20th 1973 gig they're surely mistaken as November 20th 1973 gig in Oxford now

This one is almost certainly from Boston 11/12/77. As for the photographer, I don't know definitively, but I have a gut feeling that it's a Neal Preston shot. There are a couple of other shots of Freddie with this outfit that are from him. This is a cropped version of the full pic, but this was also the highest resolution I could find it in.

I find it strange and unfortunate that we can see all the background and we don't know where this photo was taken. Research should be undertaken btw This thread is now 22 pages and it's still as fascinating as it was at the beginning. No sight of slowing down.

The Zeppelin equivalent at Royal Orleans is at over 500 pages !
It's almost certainly one of the older theatres. I searched for photos of many of them for about a half hour and couldn't find it. It could be as late as March 74.

That first one - wasn't that the tour they played Cheltenham? Looks quite like it

They played three venues in Cheltenham in four months - the College, Town Hall, and Shaftesbury Hall. Which one do you mean?

I suppose some of the venues are rather obscure and it's not easy to find good photos from inside. And it was almost 50 years ago which certainly doesn't help. I did some quick calculation and with this pace we'll reach 500 pages after around 6 years and 3 months

Threads like this make me so glad we started this place.

I think it might be either the Town Hall or College. I'm not sure which one though, as in the pic above, there's a curve in the ceiling. I'm guessing it could be the College.

The problem is loads of old buildings have arched ceilings, most town and church halls have them.

It's totally not the college as they weren't so big like this. it's from the November 20th 1973 gig at Oxford New theatre. here you can hardly find the curves in the ceiling. so it's from one venue.
you can also see the same window on the pic above in this pic too

this pics surely aren't from the November 20th 1973 gig as you can see a lot of differences with other pics.
for sometime queenconcerts.com had the pics under the October 20th 1973 gig at Paris theatre in london. they surely have put on November 20th instead of October 20th.

Okay, so it's not from the college, and there's no curves. So, it's either Town Hall or Shaftesbury Hall.

We don't have any pic of them on stage in Cheltenham at all. Why do you think it's from Cheltenham?

I'm pretty certain it isn't Oxford Town Hall. The ceiling above the stage at the Town Hall is dome shaped, and the rear of the stage is curved. It's clear the ceiling in the photos is curved.

I meant the Town Hall, although in Cheltenham they use that level of architecture for the public toilets, so maybe not much help! When I'm at my desk with a few minutes spare, I'll see if I can find anything. I've been to a few events at the Town Hall over the years
