I saw them three times-82,80,77. I wish it was more- but hey you don't think of these things when you are young-your just looking for the next good time it seems. I was actually offered ticket for a show- (would have been #4} can't remember the exact year- it was around the jazz tour I believe- but long story short I couldn't get a ride and the person who ended up going .. freddie actually handed the mic over to him and asked him what he wanted to hear and then procedded to dump his drink on him! could have been me! Now that would have been a good story, buthey 3 times ain't too shabby I guess. How about yourself- did you see anyof the shows?

I'm about half your age... so definitely not, unfortunately.

That last pic is one of the best Queen photos I've ever seen. thanks

It's strange to see Queen's great front man in the background - but still at the front - if you know what I mean. Great shot of Brian also.

This is better than some of those stereo shots Brian keeps putting up on his SB.

Great picture of the Garden '82 show, that show was the once and only time I got to see the band live (although I did see Brian open for G'N'R at the Garden in "93)....but back to to '82...it was the best concert I have ever seen, and I've seen alot of concerts in my day...my only regret is that I didnt catch them at the Garden 2 years earlier!

thanks for kind words on the photo-seriously this thread has got me thinking of where the hell are the rest of them-I'm not in the nervous state yet, the search continues. I do know that the 77 pics were pretty close up like the one I posted-infact now that i think of it- I believe some were taken from the front of the stage as well...I know you'd think I would have kept better track of them-but honestly its always been about the music first- never been a big autograph or memorabilia collector. But of course I do have few queen signed items that I enjoy-but the music always comes first. Joehead you were at the garden in 82 as well? very cool, your right it was great concert- they all sounded great that night. I'm actually listening to it right now- laughing at freddie's intro to fat bottomed girls.I also saw Brian in 93 at The Strand in providence and was lucky to meet him and snap a few photos at Tower records in Boston. JoeHead did youhappen to snap any pics at the concert? I wish I had seem them more- but I do consider myself lucky having seem them at all- I still think it would have been great to see them in Wembley or The rainbow! but even I was too young for that I suppose.

Thanks for the reply thetman!...I wish I had a camera that night, but I was high up in the balcony, so I guess I would'nt have take great pictures anyway. I bought that Garden bootleg a few years ago, seriously it was like finding the holy grail when I got it!!...I treat July 23rd like a holiday every year!..I constantly scour the net for anything related to that show (pictures, reviews, etc.).  I remeber being on Causeway St, the night they played the Garden in 1980 and wishing I had the cash to get in!...a friend of mine ended up buying a T-Shirt from a guy selling those old "bootleg" shirts, you know the ones!...Well I got mine in "82 and still have it to this day, it is very frail and a little torn and it even has Billy Squire on it!...I just remember it being the ideal Summer night, and a Friday too, but as we all know here in Boston, the Garden was not a great place to be in the heat of the Summer!..I wish they had come back in '84!

yes it was very hot that week- yes, the garden sucked when it was hot- I remember the day after still hyped up about at my friends house and it was a hot one for sure! I didn't pick up any t-shirts that night-but i did manage to take a few pics and finding the CD of the concert was just a fantastic find- I have the 1980 Providence concert on CD too. I don't think there is anything available for the 77 providence show. Small world though- what I can't believe is that I paid probably a total of under $30 to see Queen three times.

If you dont own it already, the 1980 Oakland show is excellent! They were on fire that night!

Actually I don't have that one- how is the quality?

The quality is superb.  You can download it here:

The Chicago and London recordings in the thread sound excellent as well.

thank you very much-can't wait to check it out.!
