In contrast to the pros and cons of the studio work, "HOT SPACE Tour" has reached its peak as a live act. Among them, the famous recording that conveys the scene known as "Happening Show" has evolved. It will be an enlarged version and will be permanently preserved!
It was "April 10, 1982 Stockholm performance" that was imbued with such a work. That audience recording. If you're a collector, you'll realize that the "HOT SPACE Tour" is at its peak, which is the opposite of the general image, but the whole world tour wasn't great either. In order to explain the situation in that area, let's first unravel the schedule at that time and also confirm the position of the show.

[First record of "HOT SPACE Tour" which was a miracle spring]
This is 1982 QUEEN. The flow is rather orthodox, "Europe (+ UK)-> North America-> Japan", but "Europe" and "UK" are given special attention. It was a miracle spring where every day and every night was a great performance. There are various theories as to why this happened, but first of all, it was a period of physical fulfillment. In particular, Freddie's ability as a vocalist has been reached, and the frequency of better days and the peak were higher than the "THE WORKS Tour", which had been inactive.
Second, we have a support keyboardist. Spike Edney regularly participates in the restart word, but the first support was "HOT SPACE Tour". Fred Mandel in North America / Japan and former MOTT THE HOOPLE Morgan Fisher in Europe participated. This gives Freddie more freedom. Not only does he not play the piano, he is also free from the consciousness of "I have to go back to the piano". It was a virtuous cycle in which it became possible to walk freely on the stage, creating an explosive tension that made the freedom irresistible, and the explosive Freddie raised the tension of the audience and the other three people.
And the third is confidence in "HOT SPACE". As you can see above, the "Europe / UK" tour is before and after the album is released. In "Europe" before the release, he showed confidence, and in "UK" after the release, he showed the spirit of repelling the pros and cons. After "North America" after that, he seemed to be depressed by the decisive unpopularity, but at the time of "Europe / UK", he was enthusiastic about opening up a new chapter. And the Stockholm performance of this work is also the beginning. It is the very early stage of the second performance of the tour, and it is the oldest live album of "HOT SPACE Tour" where the sound record remains.
