21 April 1974

Queen play in St. Bernard Parish Civic Auditorium in New Orleans, in the support of Mott the Hoople.

This is the FIRST recorded concert of the band in the USA and the sixth since the beginning of the American part of Queen II tour (starting in Denver on 16 April).

In the performance the band gives a light and hall and the headliners, as is very hungry for victory over the US (sorry, not at that time). Freddie is in pretty good shape, but the tour schedule is tight (sixth night in a row!) is already beginning to have an impact: it breaks down the voice, the original party falsetto sang Roger.
