Background[edit]


The year 1974 had started with their first trip outside of Europe and an appearance at the Sunbury Music Festival in Australia. Although the band headlined the event on 2 February, their appearance the next day was cancelled. In March, the band commenced on a UK tour to promote their new album Queen II, and then embark on their first trip to the USA. Once again, they supported Mott The Hoople on a four-week tour beginning in April. The band paid more attention to their look on stage and employed the services of Zandra Rhodes to design some of their costumes. Queen's slot came to an abrupt halt however, when Brian collapsed from hepatitis after the New York show on 11 May, and they all had to fly home so that he could recover.



The Tour[edit]


The band were soon back on the road and commenced their second tour as the headlining act, with nineteen concerts at eighteen different venues around the UK. The band ‘Hustler’ were the support band, and the setlist contained much of the material from the new album 'Sheer Heart Attack'. With more money to invest in a new stage show, the band wore new costumes for this tour and added an additional lighting rig, complete with state of the art stage effects. To conclude Queen's touring for the year, they embarked on a European tour consisting of ten shows in six countries, performing over a two-and-a-half-week period. The year 1975 started with the American leg of the tour, before transferring to Japan. The tour would have been longer, but an accident involving the truck that transported their equipment meant it was not able to reach the remaining scheduled venues, which would have been a second American leg for the tour.[2]


There were slight differences between the UK, US and Japanese tour. The Japanese shows were a bit longer (Queen even played Doing All Right and See What A Fool I've Been sometimes as well as Hangman on the final night of the tour), possibly due to the warm welcome they received from the Japanese fans.[3]
