  1. Save me - fabulous song

    And for the six mark question! Who can tell me where and when SAVE ME was performed live for the first time?

  2. Prague Tickets

    Hi there, I'm going to Prague at the end of October and have been trying to book 2 of the (few) remaining tickets. Unfortunately it appears that you need to collect them directly from a Sazka outlet within a day of bo...

  4. The Queen Live Archive List... FINALLY. sorry for the delay

    Greg, I've been away for quite some time. Just a quick addition to this thread! There was a TV programme on Irish television recently which contained short (but very interesting!) clips of the 1986 Magic Tour show in...

  5. Was The Magic tour a sold-out-tour?

    The attendance for the Magic Tour show in Ireland in Slane Castle (which btw is *not* in Dublin) has been variously estimated at between 80,000 and 95,000. For all intents and purposes the gig was a sellout. I recall...

  6. Crazy Tour 79 – seeking information

    I attended the Dublin show on 22nd November 1979 which was the first night of the Crazy Tour. Some or all of the gig was recorded by one of the audience because some songs from the show were played the following night...

  7. Why Did Queen never play belfast until this year?

    R.E.M-QUEEN wrote: What happened in Dublin? Absolutely nothing happened in Dublin. There was a minor disturbance/scuffle in the crowd of excess of 80,000 at the 1986 Magic Tour concert in Slane Castle (about 30 miles...

  8. Danny Boy

    Danny Boy was composed by an English lawyer, Frederick Edward Weatherly (1848-1929), who was also a songwriter and radio entertainer. In 1910 he wrote the words and music for an unsuccessful song he called Danny Boy....

  9. Danny Boy

    You may be aware that Queen played "Danny Boy" for the only time during their first ever Irish gig on November 22nd 1979. The 1979 show is therefore highly interesting to Queen fans. As well as that, Freddie sang the...

  10. Irish Fans....

    Good idea Paul. I'll email you directly. This is long overdue for Irish fans.

  11. To all Irish readers

    Can't say I saw it to be honest but the words "Gerry Ryan" and "TV programme" usually make me look for the remote contol and a quick change of channel. btw. Is there any Irish fan club? There seems to be quite a few I...

  12. Queen Tour '05 - Sold Out?

    Dublin *looked* to be sold out. There didn't appear to be any empty seats and it was very full in the general admission (ie standing) area. I was talking to one of the security staff early that afternoon and he told m...

  13. Dublin Gig

    What a bloody amazing show!! Being sceptic about *anyone* replacing Freddie, I have to say that Paul Rodgers did an outstanding job. The tone was set for the night by the guy doing the air guitar in the balcony before...

  14. Belfast and Dublin shows.

    To be honest I would be slightly surprised if the band stayed in The Four Seasons which is in the grounds of the RDS which is on the far side of the city. As you may know, traffic in Dublin can be really dreadful at t...

  15. Belfast and Dublin shows.

    I think I can guarantee you that at least one song *won't* be played in Dublin. God Save The Queen is most unlikely to be played at the end of the show. It was not played at any previous Irish show for political reaso...

  16. IRELAND+QUEEN=ROCK ?

    Sorry if it appeared that I was having a go at you Aisha Sweetness! I wasn't!! Hopefully all us Queen fans in Ireland will make the Dublin show one to remember?

  17. Will Queen play God Save The Queen to close the Irish gigs?

    It is highly unlikely that God Save the Queen will be played at the end of the Dublin show. This was not played in '79, at either of the two shows in '84 or at the end of the Slane gig in '86. While things have change...

  18. IRELAND+QUEEN=ROCK ?

    I have no idea how anyone can say that there are "plenty" of seats left for Dublin. All seats with the exception of some single seats are sold out for The Point show. Have a look at www.ticketmaster.ie to confirm this...

  19. IRELAND+QUEEN=ROCK ?

    I was at Slane in 1986. A few facts: There was no "riot" at the Slane gig. There was a scuffle/disturbance/fight in the crowd (of 80,000) between a few people near the front of the stage. Freddie stopped the show for...

  20. Best Boots from Each Tour

    Don't forget: Crazy Tour: Danny Boy - played Dublin 22-November A bootleg exists *somewhere*. (Part of the show was played on Radio Dublin - a Dublin pirate radio station - the following night). Has anyone ever heard...
