This source is missing bits of the beginning and end of the show.
 
Here's a review of the show.
Before Love Of My Life, Brian says: "Ok, you may have noticed we're doing a few different things this year, and we're doing a longer show which gives us a chance to do a few more things." After he says everyone will have to be very quiet for the next song, plenty of people keep shouting, to which he responds, "In other words, we can't play it unless it's... reasonably quiet. You'll have your chance to make noise later."
Freddie, after '39: "We'd like to do one more acoustic song, and then we'll do some more real rock and roll, huh? This is a song that we like to do every night. It's just the three of us, which is why Brian takes a rest. This is a song called My Melancholy Blues." Some people in the audience even sing along with this song, which reveals how strong the band's fanbase in Holland was.
Before White Man, he asks people in a couple different areas of the arena if they're going to be here tomorrow. Plenty of them cheer in affirmation. "We'll have to do a slightly different set." They certainly would.
After Freddie's solo spot with all the vocal effects, he and Brian stop their improvisation for a moment as there is some kind of unrest in the audience. Freddie pleads, "Please, come on. Listen!" With the phase, delay, and harmonizer effects still on his voice, he asks someone near the front, "Do you want to sing?" He then says, "You're not like Brussels," suggesting that the audiences were much less rowdy at those two shows earlier in the week. He and Brian then continue their improv, and Freddie even incorporates a bit of Keep Yourself Alive into it.

Thank you very much. "Tusen takk" in Norwegian!!

I think it's better to edit your post because now people could get the wrong impression that the text was written by Raf Foubert while in fact it are of course Bob's words. All I (I'm Raf) did was send Bob that dutch newspaper review that you can see when you click on 'review' on Bob's site.

thanks for sharing!

Thanks Raf, I have now edited my original post.

Haha... who cares.  It's more fun this way!

---

See... isn't everything easier when you just tell the truth? ;)

Glad we got that sorted out.
Knew i should have just posted the links and nothing else. Trying to make the post look nice, I guess.
Well we are all happy now. ;)
