The Jazz Tour was the sixth headlining concert tour by the British rock band Queen, supporting the album Jazz. The tour was memorable for the spectacle created by the band. As James Henke of Rolling Stone said about the band's Halloween 1978 concert in New Orleans: "...when they were launching a U.S. tour in support of their Jazz, album, Queen threw a bash in New Orleans that featured snake charmers, strippers, crossdressers and a naked fat lady who smoked cigarettes in her crotch." Part of the European leg was recorded for the band's first live album, Live Killers.
Background
Due to the tour starting within weeks of the final recording sessions for Jazz, Freddie Mercury's voice was worn out, which led to generally below-average performances. While holding up fine for the American and European shows, he lost his voice in Japan. During the encore performance of "We Will Rock You" , as he sang, Mercury would be carried on the shoulders of a Superman cosplayer.
