They played three venues in Cheltenham in four months - the College, Town Hall, and Shaftesbury Hall. Which one do you mean?
We don't have any pic of them on stage in Cheltenham at all. Why do you think it's from Cheltenham? Just from the architecture, no evidence at all. My perception was that Oxford had been discounted and therefore any guess or theory was worth a go, without applying an arbitrary filter of "places there are already photos of" Many venues in the early 70s will have featured classical architecture, admittedly, I'm just aware of how common it is in Cheltenham (I think the term is "Regency")

I feel like we don't post that many 80/90s pics here. Because Queen were most interesting (especially visually) in the 70s. Not to mention far more active, especially in America, where most of the top rock photographers were.
And the older things are, the more mystery there is about them because there were less people around then to solve the mysteries.

The inherent self-centeredness of the internet is front and centre yet again, with Kara and Phil watermarking photos they themselves admit they are not the copyright owners of. Someone really ought to gently tell them how wrong (and illegal) this is... barring the threat that they'll just stop posting things in response. Sigh.
Could some kind and enterprising soul please correct this in Photoshop as necessary ?

I'm not a fan of hers, I corrected her politely once many moons ago on Instagram, she got super offended and deleted my comment...
Tried my best to clean these up for ya!

robbybloodshed Did she photographed these pictures? Looks good, but it would be better to scan these images.

I don't have the photos, so I can't scan them, I just touched them up for the Wizard. I doubt she will post scanned versions.
She simply just put her instagram tag over a photo of the photo, so it sends more traffic her way when these photos are shared online.

What they did is sort of like someone selling a fan-made picture, telling everyone that it's not theirs, but signing it.

That's sadly the state of the internet in 2020 - countless "content creators" are quick to put their name on everything, no matter who actually owns or unearthed it. It's all about getting those coveted mouse clicks for themselves, the rest of the world be damned.

Nice job, but dare I say they look a bit too smooth now - almost like a painting.
And your experience in dealing with this Instagrammer doesn't surprise me in the least. These people think they're quasi-celebrities, where it's all about perception. They always have to be right and in control of the message, as that's the master/servant relationship that they think will get them more followers. It's just so shallow and inauthentic.

In my opinion, pictures from the 70/80's look a bit more natural if they're slightly noisy. It doesn't have to be left there, but like, just reduce it by a bit.
And yes, I learned this from previous attempts of restorations.

And I certainly wouldn't look to these professional attention cravers on Instagram for accuracy, either. Here's another shot from this photo set, which is clearly not from LA, as the second encore that night was an entirely different scene.
The photographer was based in LA, which could mean the photos were taken in Long Beach, but of course we can't rule out the possibility of travelling to other shows.

But could this photo not be from the first encore? He was certainly wearing this outfit during We Will Rock You and We Are the Champions, and while it's most definitely not We Will Rock You due to the lack of Santa, could this not have been taken during We Are the Champions?

D'oh, you're right ! Mercury's arm looks like he's singing Champions.
In fact, these two photos from the previous night in Long Beach look like they're from Champions - Brian has switched to his encore outfit, and there's dry ice:
So perhaps Mercury wore his silver leotard for the first encore just in LA, to make the Santa reveal that much more glamorous.
If the first shot is indeed LA, then the Instagrammer just had a lucky guess, as she's basing it off the stamp on the back of the photo and nothing else. If she's watermarking someone else's photos, you can bet your left nut she doesn't have a relationship with them where she'd had learned such information first hand.

It could be any number of 1982 shows.
You sent me these two shots from Boston - maybe it could be that one?

Freddie's top is different on the photo in the link. Likely not from the same show.

Interesting photo, did you find it in better resolution? It looks like winter gardens of Bournemouth on November 23rd 1975.

Peter Freestone was the wardrobe guy for Fred in 82 wasn't he, does that mean he made the clothes / had them made or that he was in charge of them on the tour?
Is he to blame for all the arrows?
