Golden boy

This is the later show, at 11:30pm.

There is a hilarious moment a few songs into the show, as John Deacon's has had an accident. Freddie laughs and makes no hesitation pointing it out to a few thousand people: "Bass guitarist John Deacon, oh he's there. He's split his trousers! Have a look! A little nice bit of fun." Brian adds, "That's a real treat."

Freddie continues, "Okay, right now while we do this strip act, we'd like to do a medley for you. About four pieces, three pieces from our album called Sheer Heart Attack. Also we'll do a snatch of Killer Queen. So here it goes, 1, 2, 3, 4!" And they launch into In The Lap Of The Gods.

Freddie performed a bit of The Fairy Feller's Master-Stroke at this show. Several eyewitness accounts say an audience member kept yelling for it between songs, and to appease him Freddie played a ten second snippet of it on the piano.

Here is glowing review written by someone who saw both shows. A Melody Maker article about these shows indicates that tour dates in Australia were on the table at this point. They ultimately wouldn't materialize until 1976.

The latter article also states Tenement Funster was performed, but this is extremely unlikely.

While in LA, the band informally played at the Rainbow Bar and Grill on the Sunset Strip, which was a popular hangout spot for celebrities in the 70s and 80s.
