Photos © Charles Cotugno. 'The Game' tour. Cotugno is a photographer from Seattle, so this pictures may have been taken at the Seattle concert on 1st July 1980.     The last photo, also taken by Charles Cotugno, it was definitely not taken in Seattle, as Deacon is wearing a different outfit.  |

Caracas, Venezuela - september 27, 1981 If you're comparing this 1st picture with (another) 2nd picture from the same gig, you can see Freddie, Brian and John wearing the same clothes. ![]()  The First one isn't from Bohemian Rhapsody Biopic movie? |

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. I love how particularly fluffy Freddie's hair is in these 😄 |

Can't be Newcastle. . . . .
There's no Policeman's helmet! oops 😎
I love over those shots from Wembley 78., the roadies view! I've never seen Brian in that outfit.

London, May 13th 1978.  Stellar - with the Birch copy in the foreground ! This must have been taken by someone on the crew. |

Beautiful photos of Torleif Svensson taken at different 1986 shows. Some of them are more experimental, using double exposure etc. I can't decide which one is my favourite.  This one is my favourite. Great shot of the red special. And from a first glance, I can see pics from Stockholm and both Wembley shows. |

I enjoy the “playing card” ones with Freddie two ways up. I wonder if they were done in-camera or in the darkroom. Impressive either way. I think my favourite is the one with the Freddie balloon looking like it's sneaking up on John 😄 |

Great photos. As Ryan said before, they are from Stockholm and Wembley...some of them also from Leiden and Montreux shows. Fantastic! |

Some pics from the 'Rock 'N America Tour', summer 1982. The first two photos of Freddie are from Toronto, 2nd August 1982. They were taken by © Bruce Pratt.   The third one is from Toronto, 3rd August 1982. It's a great shot of the band taken by © Patrick Harbron.  |

We can see the sunset reflection on the guitar, which makes it look so special, in fact Red Special  |

I think my favourite is the one with the Freddie balloon looking like it's sneaking up on John 😄 Here's what Mr Svensson had to say about the first one you mentioned: " When I was standing in the audience or by the mixer table I could create this sort of double exposure. First I pointed the camera so that half of the frame was on the dark crowd, allowing the bright stage to be exposed. Then I turned the camera and exposed the other half a few seconds later. Here Freddie turns his head while his body stays in the same position, it created this nice line effect." I just found a website with some more photos from 1986, with a description from the photographer added to each one of them: www.thephotogallery.se/queenthe-last-tour |

Thanks for the info and the link, I'm sure that'll make for some interesting reading later. |

The stage and the crowd at Hyde Park, London on 18th September 1976. Great shot - although from much earlier in the day of course, as that isn't Queen's rig. Steve Hillage maybe ? |

The equipment on stage isn't Queen's one, so I think it could be Hillage's set. I think he was the first to perform that day. This one could be taken during Queen's set   |

Is this guy whistling or about to give the photographer two middle fingers ?

Los Angeles Forum, July 1980. This is an alternate shot of the most common one, widespread for several years now.  The most common is this one below:  They were taken around the same moment. |
