This is the second night at the famous Madison Square Garden and the band is firing on all cylinders! Not only that, but there is a great mood tonight with the audience being just as rowdy as the night before and the band being in a good mood as well. In fact, the crowd is so loud, that Freddie as fight for their attention early on: “Listen my darlings, listen to me. I’m talking to you, motherfuckers!“ Later on, Brian promises that “It’s gonna be a rude night“, a comment the crowd wouldn’t fully understand until an hour later: The band have invited a bunch of strippers to ride some bicycles during “Fat Bottomed Girls“ - almost naked! Later, Freddie gets the crowd roaring in applause again as he dedicates the final song of the show, “We Are the Champions“, to newly crowned World Champions of football (1978), the New York Yankees. It’s a wonderful and cheerful end to a wonderful show. But now - let’s get to the performances! The best show of the Jazz Tour kicks off with a rather solid but not too fantastic “We Will Rock You“ but things heat up quickly with a great “Let Me Entertain You“ where Freddie goes for two chorus A4s - similar to quite a few Game Tour versions! “Somebody to Love“ is the best of the three New York area renditions with a passionate delivery and fine musicianship. “If You Can’t Beat Them“ might not feature a chorus attempt but the jam sections are absolutely terrific. The medley is pretty good with another creative “Get Down, Make Love“ performance but Roger throwing off the band during his own song due to skipping a line... “Now I’m Here“ probably is the best November performance as everyone is giving his all! “Spread Your Wings“ is absolutely gorgeous with Brian playing another wonderful solo. The acoustic set features a Top 3 “Dreamers Ball“ where the entire band has lots of fun, a gorgeous “Love of My Life“ and the final “’39“ with Roger playing the drum kit on the entire finale. “It’s Late“ is pretty solid overall. “Brighton Rock“ is fantastic although I slightly prefer the rendition of last night as it seemed a little more experimental overall. “Fat Bottomed Girls“ is a fun performance with the band feeding off their surprise of the night. “Keep Yourself Alive“ is terrific with the band jamming out during the intro and doing it again after the first chorus, absolutely terrific stuff! “Bohemian Rhapsody“ is a much weaker performance compared to last night as Freddie struggles with the song now. “Tie Your Mother Down“ is less daring but features a great A4 sustain during the outro. The first encore is pretty weak as Freddie struggles with the chorus sustains but the band is delivering on all fronts. “We Will Rock You“ sees Freddie attempting all three A4s but none sound too great unfortunately. “We Are the Champions“ also is much weaker than last night’s rendition but features a few nice moments, the audience is terrific after Freddie’s dedication before the song. 00:00:00 - 01.
