To finish off one of the worst Three-Show-Runs in history, Queen play their final 'Jazz' Tour gig in Tokyo and it truly is one of their worst shows ever. Freddie's voice has reached such a lowpoint that it affects not only the band and their individual performances (most notably the lack of creative jams and solos with only two exceptions in 'Killer Queen' and 'Keep Yourself Alive' for Brian and Roger respectively) but the entire show. Speeches, band performance and the general down is probably at the lowest point of the band as of now and the result is truly sad. A show, that is so bad for its vocalist that 'Love of My Life' gets booted from the setlist. It even seems to affect the audience as they hold back in some of their usual activites, Freddie often has to plead to them so they sing along or take over for him. For anyone who isn't just interested in hearing Queen at their most humane point, this show has no redeeming qualities and should be avoided. Thankfully, Japanese bootleg label Wardour has released a brand new audience recording from this show in late 2024 - both complete and in quite good quality (ranging within the very good B+ and A- region), making my previously posted source merge unnecessary!
