This is the second night at the Wembley Arena and in typical Queen tradition, the setlist is changed up when playing more than one night at the same venue. On top of dropping "Jailhouse Rock" and "Need Your Loving Tonight" and playing the reversed encores again (although it seems like only one encore was played with no second break before "Tie Your Mother Down"), the band have decided to replace "Keep Yourself Alive" with a very emotional cover version of John Lennon's "Imagine" due to the killing of the music legend on the previous day. All four members were hugely influenced by Lennon and The Beatles and were obviously quite affected by his assassination - one attendee even recalls Roger having to fight against the tears. While "Keep Yourself Alive" would return to the show for the following nights, the band would bring back this change for the last three shows of the year in Frankfurt, Strasbourg and Munich. On a side note: This marks the first concert without any song from the band's first two albums.
