That might explain our Queen being off.
On one of the old bootlegs that I have, she can be heard complaining about the monitors, either 1971 San Bernardino or 1972 Seattle. She's a bit out of tune on the San Bernardino boot too. Several times she asked where the monitors are. She sounded pretty annoyed. So that may have been a problem back in those days.
