A spotlight would appear on Freddie on one side of the stage where he would sing only the first verse and a chorus (with vocals from the record also being heard), after which another spotlight would be on Brian for the climatic guitar solo. On this tour the show would begin with a tape of the stomp-stomp-clap of the studio version of We Will Rock You being played.

They played Brian's bluesy News Of The World number early on the tour, with Freddie on the lead vocal, but it was soon dropped after only three performances. Sleeping On The Sidewalk, however, wouldn't fare so well. After the 'Cars don't talk back they're just four-wheeled friends now' line, the band would slightly extend the instrumental section of the song before coming to an abrupt end. For the drummer to sing, I think the whole thing loses a lot somehow.' Still, they gave I'm In Love With My Car a try, and it would be played nearly every night through 1981. I sing a lot from the drums, but to sing lead on stage, the vocalist should be focal point in concert. In a radio interview earlier in the year, he had this to say about singing lead in concert from behind the drums: 'In the context of Queen it's not an easy thing to do. Roger sings the former as he did on the album. I'm In Love With My Car and Love Of My Life from A Night At The Opera are also heard live for the first time at this show. We Will Rock You, We Are The Champions, Sheer Heart Attack, Spread Your Wings, Get Down Make Love, and My Melancholy Blues are all heard on this tour, and are most likely performed for the first time tonight. As a result, most of the songs translated well to the stage, and very quickly. The album was a return to basics for Queen, as most of the tracks saw very few overdubs. Visually, they now have a scaled down version of the Earls Court crown as their lighting rig, which was built in Boston. This is the first tour for which they don't bring a support act - their show is longer, running at roughly two hours a night. Queen have revamped their show quite a bit for this tour promoting their new album, News Of The World.
