They're both really good.
The album this came from was my favorite Queen album.
I was supposed to see them as the opening act for Mott The Hoople.
About a week before the Chicago date, Queen had to cancel the rest of the tour when Brian May contracted hepatitis.
I was so looking forward to the pairing, but bad luck.

Everything you posted brought back floods of memories for me. I was a huge Queen fan in my teens, I read everything I could find about them, I was in the fan club, I memorized every song, and had aspirations of becoming Mrs. Brian May.

November 28, 1978 some friends and I went to their concert in Buffalo, we had great seats and I was hoarse the next day.

I'm not familiar with Mott The Hoople's music, it's an unusual name, and I'm sorry you missed the concert.

I really liked the harder rock of their first two albums. Live at Wembley is an absolute stunner.

But, the opening act was taken over by Kansas which didn't go over well with the glitter crowd.
Then, Kerry Livgren made a snarky comment about glitter underwear and it went from apathy to vitriol.
Kansas was good, but they got booed mercilessly. Good thing Mott rocked or there would have been some pissed off concert goers.
