The First Live Performance: The History of ‘Bohemian Rhapsody’

In 1975, Queen recorded the final show of their tour in support of A Night at the Opera, the same evening where they debuted "Bohemian Rhapsody," but never released it. Fans have been passing around bootlegs of the recording ever since. Time for an upgrade: Queen have announced that A Night at the Odeon: Hammersmith 1975 – featuring the performance, along with a few extras – will see a multi-format official release on Nov. 20.
