Bob Harris introduces Queen for their iconic Hammersmith Odeon Show

The 1975 gig at the Hammersmith Odeon was the final date of Queen's UK tour in support of the album A Night At The Opera.

Queen had already played four shows at the Odeon earlier during the tour and received positive reviews in the press, with Sounds Magazine saying "everything about them says that they are more important than any other band you've heard".

The show was broadcast on BBC2 as part of the music programme The Old Grey Whistle Test with the audio later broadcast on BBC Radio 1. Whistle Test presenter Bob Harris introduced the band onstage and later recalled that Queen "were in party mood at the Hammersmith Odeon that night".
