The legendary A Night At The Opera tour has gone down in history for capturing Quee
n at their most bombastic up to that point. Touring their UK chart-topping album for 26 dates in their homeland, they signed off in fittingly majestic style at the Hammersmith Apollo, in London, on Christmas Eve 1975. Broadcast live on both the Old Grey Whistle Test and BBC Radio 1, the concert has gone down in legend as one of Queen’s finest gigs.
The A Night At The Odeon DVD release brings Queen’s curtain-closing show back to life, with stunning renditions of classic songs such as ‘Killer Queen’, ‘Seven Seas Of Rhye’ and their game-changing six-minute epic, ‘Bohemian Rhapsody’. With the deluxe box set containing the band’s first-ever live performance of the latter, this much-anticipated release is the final word in one of the most important moments in the band’s career.
As these photos show, Queen’s regal invite could not be ignored. Take a seat in the royal box and relive the glory…
