Queens 1986 tour was for the A Kind Of Magic album and the tour encompassed 26 dates across Europe in the summer of 1986. On the 21st of June the band played the Maimarktgelände in Mannheim, Germany, a fine and hot summer evening where Marillion acted as opening act. Unfortunately a short time later, Mercury was diagnosed with AIDS. Freddie’s voice is starting to weaken a bit, its hard to say if it has something to do with his illness or just due to a long tour but he still has plenty of great moments this night. Overall it’s a great performance, as usual on this tour. Freddie embellishes a lyric in Under Pressure: Sat on a fence, but it didnt fuckin’ work. He starts a vocal exchange with the audience (perhaps even to his surprise) during Another One Bites The Dust. It is a marvellous moment of spontaneity that led to a set piece during this song for the remainder of the tour. Brian tosses in the riff of The Beatles I Feel Fine after the impromptu, after which the band try out Gimme Some Lovin as they did in Leiden earlier on the tour. Towards the end of his solo spot, Brian plays bits of the melody from Golden Days, a song he wrote for Japanese pop sensation Minako Honda and would produce in 1987. Brian says, before he starts to play Love Of My Life: Freddie wrote a magical song. It goes like this. Fish from Marillion joins the band for Tutti Frutti. After the song, Freddie tells the audience, We love ya. What a corny, shitty thing to say, I know. But we love you anyway. This album features part of this show
