Queen 1974 @ Manchester's Palace Theatre
Taken during Queen’s first solo British Tour, on October 30th 1974 in concert at Manchester’s Palace Theatre. The band played songs from their new album Sheer Heart Attack and their first big hit single, Killer Queen. “I wanted a different angle from the usual pit photographs and wandered up to take this shot from one of the boxes at the theatre. I just remember how incredibly exciting and flamboyant Freddie Mercury was.”
