Queen concert chronology | |
The A Night at the Opera Tour was a concert tour in 1975 by Queen to promote A Night at the Opera. It spanned 1975 and 1976, and covered the UK, the USA, Japan, and Australia. It marked the debut of "Bohemian Rhapsody", which would be played at every Queen gig thereafter.
The DVD A Night at the Odeon is taken from the Christmas Eve concert at the Hammersmith Odeon. "It's quite something to watch", said Brian May. "We were just a four-piece, but we made a lot of noise. I'm quite shocked at how good it was. We were incredibly tight and, at the same time – because we knew each other so well – very loose in terms of improvisation."[1]
