This was the first appearance in Australia of UK band Queen. Many sources claim that Queen were booed off stage. In May 2009, on "Spicks and Specks", Daddy Cool front man Ross Wilson disputed this as an urban legend and said Queen finished their set, even doing an encore. Lead singer, Freddie Mercury bravely told the audience "When we come back to Australia, Queen will be the biggest band in the world!" Queen returned to Australia to perform again in 1976 at the height of their fame. The early version of Australian group Skyhooks were also booed and, after watching a TV broadcast of their performance, lead singer Steve Hill quit the band and was replaced by Graeme "Shirley" Strachan.
