'They always loved playing in Rotterdam Ahoy - in fact Brian mentioned several times when he came back in for the Back to the Light tour and for the Q+PR concerts that "it's good to be back at the good old Ahoy!". =========
Ever been to Rotterdam? Amsterdam is heaven in comparison.
==================== I prefer Rotterdam. Probably the realest city in the Netherlands. Raw. Dirty. Hard working people. Great architecture. Love it.

I've been to Amsterdam once,in the eighties.
Thought it was a lovely clean city.
I also saw Queen(the original four)in Leiden too.They also had Bow Wow Wow as support act.I remember the guitarist throwing a wobbly at the audience coz they were all booing them.

I live in Rotterdam, and I love it :-)
Ahoy is a great concert-area!
But I have to say, Paradiso - Amsterdam, is also awesome.... (bit small though....)

Pink Floyd performed in the Concertgebouw in 1969. Probably too small for Queen standards back then (referring to the 70s, that is).
It's worth checking out this concert btw. A great bootleg with excellent sound exists ;-)

When I said small theatre I meant the size of the ones they played in on the Rainbow and ANATO tours

There are thousands of cities Queen never played in. Amsterdam happens to be one of them. They didn't necessarily go to all the big cities... how many times did they play in Manila, Tehran, Cairo?
Technically, they never played in Los Angeles either, as The Forum is located in Inglewood (same state, same county, but technically not same city). Same for Nice, for instance. Bonn (also a capital back then), only once.

Next time they should do Beekbergen as a supportact to Normaal. Let the old guys rock...
