Experience music history in the making with authentic, original newspaper advertisements capturing the opening-night premieres of legendary live concert performances, sourced straight from the entertainment capital of the world.

Background: Queen's December 20, 1978 show at The Forum in Inglewood, California, served as the high-octane finale of the 35-date North American leg of their Jazz Tour, capping off three consecutive sold-out nights at the iconic venue. The performance stands out for its theatrical energy, most famously highlighted during "Fat Bottomed Girls" when nude bicycle riders joined the band on stage in a live recreation of their famous promotional stunt at Wimbledon Stadium, with Freddie Mercury even riding a bike across the stage mid-song. Visually defined by their infamous "Pizza Oven" lighting rig—a massive, 320-light motorized steel array suspended over the stage—the show delivered a mammoth 22-song setlist blending heavy Jazz album cuts like "Let Me Entertain You" and "Spread Your Wings" with crowd anthems like "Bohemian Rhapsody" and "Somebody to Love," ending the tour on an exuberant note with rare, energetic encores of rock-and-roll covers including "Big Spender" and "Jailhouse Rock."
