Queen concert chronology

TheJazz Tour was the sixth headlining concert tour by the Britishrock bandQueen, supporting the albumJazz. The tour was memorable for the spectacle created by the band. As James Henke ofRolling Stone said about the band'sHalloween 1978 concert inNew Orleans: "...when they were launching a U.S. tour in support of theirJazz, album, Queen threw a bash in New Orleans that featured snake charmers, strippers, crossdressers and a naked fat lady who smoked cigarettes in her crotch."[1] Part of the European leg was recorded for the band's first live album,Live Killers.

Background

Due to the tour starting within weeks of the final recording sessions forJazz, Freddie Mercury's voice was worn out, which led to generally below-average performances. While holding up fine for the American and European shows, he lost his voice in Japan. During the encore performance of "We Will Rock You", as he sang, Mercury would be carried on the shoulders of a Superman cosplayer.
