The last one is a beautiful photo of Roger, also labeled as Vienna 1982. Since Roger isn't visible in any of the photos, it could be from either night in the Austrian capital.  Great shots, and your detective work is bang on.
Roger's outfit in this one matches the existing shots from the second night, but of course he could've worn it on both nights. Did that photographer shoot them on 5/12 too ?

Frankfurt or Berlin - January 24 or February 2, 1979 Taken by Jorge Arazi Great shots. If it's one of those two nights, then it's Frankfurt. John is seen in his "dazzling tie" which doesn't match the Berlin photos or the video - and he does wear the tie in Frankfurt.
Also - I know the Frankfurt audience tape inside out and Brian doesn't break a string anywhere, and he's seen with the Birch copy here. But the first two songs are missing on the tape, and it looks like he could be playing the Let Me Entertain You solo here.

We can never be sure. With someone on the Discord server we found out Brian breaks a string during the 1st London 78 show and it's probably during The Millionaire Waltz when Brian does a trill, although it is quite difficult to hear it. ![]()   The 1st picture is probably at the end of The Millionaire Waltz's solo, and the 2nd one probably at the end of You're My Best Friend solo's. We've spent quite a lot of time investigating about this ! So maybe Brian does break a string at the Frankfurt gig, and it could be before Somebody To Love... Who knows ! Based on the pictures we have of the different German shows I think we can rule out Hamburg, Kiel, Hanover, Berlin, 2nd Munich and Saarbrücken. |

Yeah, I think the photographer was present on both nights but most of the photos came from the second night. I found these some year ago and now I think I'm able to say that they are taken in Vienna on 13th May 1982 too! What do you think about it?        |

Birmingham, 1st September 1984. 'The Works' Tour. Photos © Andrew Catlin. Judging from the existing photos of the three Birmingham shows, these photos are definetely from the second night (Freddie wore red pants on the first and third night). Unfortunately, they aren't in good quality because they're taken from an article about the Birmingham show on 'Smash Hits' magazine (13th September 1984).     |

It appears that the Brussels show that took place on April 21st 1978 had tickets already printed for the 18th which was the original date for the show. Noting the "00429" stamp on it, this clearly was super early on and it was promptly changed.  Queenlive.ca shows a poster for the dates suggesting a third concert for the 18th, but here is a poster printed after the date was changed to the 21st:  And here are a bunch of shots that seem to be from April 21st. They were labelled as April 18th but of course this show ended up on the 21st (and they don't seem to be from April 16th or 17th either). All photos taken by Paul Coerten.  French to English using Google Translate (some of these wont be perfect):
Top right panel: THE OPINION OF A REGULAR CONCERT-GOER: "Finally a group who had the good idea of hanging the speakers from the ceiling, which allowed excellent view from the sides of the stage too" MEMORIES OF QUEEN "Forest National," April 16th, 17th, and 21st. A FANS OPINION: "Roger Taylor is handsome like a god" A GUITARISTS OPINION: "Brian May is no more than a shadow of what he was. his solos lacked as much punch as inventions. It was much better three years ago at '140'" Middle right panel:A DENTIST'S OPINION ABOUT FREDDIE MERCURY: "And yet he sings." A PUNK'S OPINION: "Queen is a band for old people." A FAN'S OPINION: "Why only three concerts?" THE OPINION OF A ROCK JOURNALIST: "I saw Queen two years ago in London. Their show has improved in the sense that it is now longer and more complete. Roger Taylor even sang "I'm In Love With My Car," which he didn't do at the time, and although he remains an incorrigible poseur, Mercury also has some contact with the public. However, I noticed that the band was still not able to perform "Bohemian Rhapsody" completely. During the most vocal part, the musicians slip away, supposedly to change costumes, and a recorded tape takes over. It is not an elegant process. We agree that there are too many voices in this part for only four performers, but then the group could hire a few singers. It does many other costs of setting the scene. Queen was much better anyway when they first came to us in 1974." A SOCIOLOGIST'S OPINION: "Queen's audience is one of the most diverse there is, and therefore one of the least motivated. For them, it is only a pleasant spectacle; rare are those who identify with the group, as is the case with others." THE ORGANIZER'S OPINION: "£ $ F.B. £ $ F.B" THE OPINION OF A PHOTOGRAPHER: "The lighting is excellent, we can put one on me like this every day." Bottom left panel: THE OPINION OF A SKILLED STRATEGIST: "The good thing about Queen is that the band can serve as an introduction to rock for people who aren't usually interested". THE OPINION OF THE KIDS: "We are against the monarchy." THE OPINION OF A READER OF "FRANCE-SUNDAY": text is too cut to give a good translation
 Translations:THE OPINION OF A CINEPHILE: The type of crown which all the lights were fixed to which overhangs the group resembles the flying saucer in "Close Encounters of the Third Kind." A ROADIE'S OPINION ON SUNDAY: "Name % & +%! That damn crown is stuck!" PUBLIC OPINION ON SUNDAY: "Hoist! Hoist! Hoist!" THE OPINION OF A TECHNICIAN: "We can not say that the sound and the balance was very good." QUEEN'S OPINION: "Sunday's concert [April 16th] was one of the worst we've ever done." A FAN'S OPINION: "It was very good on Monday [April 17th] and Friday [April 21st]." A GROUPIE'S OPINION: "I was at the hotel and managed to touch Roger Taylor. Wow!"  |

Wonderful shot of Freddie, Roger and Brian taken by © Neal Preston. Maybe from one of the nights at The Forum in Los Angeles, July 1980. Taken from a Brian May interview included in the Japanese magazine 'Rockin' On', Vol. 20, May 1991. Freddie with the Flash t-shirt, Roger with the tiger skin trousers from 'Jazz' tour and Brian with the white jacket worn during the 'News Of The World' tour. ![]()  |

It says the person who runs the channel is from Switzerland, so these may well be Zurich 2/4/79.
It's definitely a show recorded for Live Killers, as there are extra overhead mics on Roger's kit for recording:

Strasbourg - 1980/12/16 - Photographed by Gérard Kronenberger    Apparently half of the venue was used for the show, and a bit more than half of the remaining seats were sold, so ~ 2500-3000 people, according to an attendee. |
