This semi-outdoor show took place at an amphitheatre in Hoffman Estates, a suburb of Chicago. Before Life Is Real, Brian May says how "it feels good to play in Chicago in the countryside here. Very nice." The acoustics definitely weren't great at this venue (like the last time they played in Chicago), as Brian then asks the audience, "Everybody hear alright? Right at the back there in the grass and stuff? We'll be okay. We're having a bit of trouble hearing ourselves, as everything tends to go out. But it's gonna be alright. This is the quiet part of the set anyway, so this is gonna be easy." 

After Life Is Real, Freddie invites everyone to stand up and take their clothes off, and adds, "I was only joking when I said this was like Las Vegas." This show's Fat Bottomed dedication is to "anybody who's got herpes here tonight". The band then offer a fantastic and longer than usual rendition of the song, clocking in at over 5 minutes. 

Brian has an incredible night, offering some fabulous guitar work throughout the show. 

It seems the band have dropped Somebody To Love, as Calling All Girls is now where Staying Power would alternate it with - but Calling All Girls is a mainstay in the setlist since it's their current single. 

This is the last known performance of Life Is Real, which was played only a handful of times.
