Date: ? Location: ? Venue: ? Photographer: ? Anyone has any idea about this photo? Looks like News Of The World tour, is that right? I'm not even sure of that. I don't have the answers, but here's a poster from Hitkrant with that image:

Date: ? Location: ? Venue: ? Photographer: ? Anyone has any idea about this photo? Looks like News Of The World tour, is that right? I'm not even sure of that. I also checked and if the information that the photo was taken on the News Of The World UK tour is correct, it was taken on one of the five dates in 1978. I looked at Roger's outfit etc. for the five dates and couldn't find a date when he was wearing trousers that were white with a bit of pink in the trouser colour. As he wore white or black trousers on all days, we consider it possible that he may have changed trousers during the concert. At the same time, there were no photos of him wearing a rainbow-coloured border shirt. We changed our perspective a little and tried to find them by relying on wristbands that were never changed. Apparently, there were no days in the three days at Wembley Arena where the ‘red, white and navy blue’ wristbands were worn. None of them could be identified only bright red wristbands or ‘red, white and red’ wristbands like Freddie used to wear. So I checked the first day of the Stafford show, the first day of the UK tour, and it was also a bright red wristband that day. The only wristband colour we could not confirm was on the second day of the Stafford show. If I am not mistaken, this photo could be from the second day of the Stafford show. However, it seems that he is wearing black trousers on the second day, so if this is indeed the second day of the Stafford show, then he changed his underwear during the show, like Freddie on The Works Tour.

This is a completely uneducated guess, a total shot in the dark, but is it possible the photo’s from one of the 1978 Paris shows? My reasoning is that the wristbands are the color of the French flag, which is admittedly a rather flimsy reason but maybe not entirely out of the question.

It should be a show in late December 77. I've seen another pic from that poster set of Freddie wearing the striped leotard (with the cutout, distinguishing it from November.)

It is certainly very possible that it could have been a late ‘77 tour! Thanks for the information. We have checked a total of 13 photos from the last part of the News Of The World Tour 1977 in December by process of elimination. Although there were days when Roger's costume and wristband could not be confirmed, I got the impression that the colour of the wristbands was overwhelmingly bright red wristbands. Excluding the days when the colour of the wristband could not be confirmed, only one show was found to have the same wristband as in the photograph! This was the 17 Dec 77 Oakland show. Although there was no photo of the band wearing the rainbow striped shirt as shown in the photo, the photo confirms that the trousers are also the same white colour. It is most likely to have been taken at the Oakland concert, at least for now.

Thank you all. I'll save the poster uploaded by deathtoming in the Oakland folder for the time being.

Date: 1976-02-18 Location: Saginaw, Michigan, USA Venue: Wendler Arena at Saginaw Civic Center Photographer: u/ynotfoster (Reddit, posted here with permission) Found these on the comment section of a "r/interestingasfuck" post on reddit featuring a picture of Freddie performing in Oakland in the Jazz Tour (Thanks, Leon). Again, posted here with permission from the user, of course. (He gave the date, too.) In his own words about the show: "We were so lucky to be pressed against the stage, it spoiled me for every other concert!"
