Magic tour picture identification

Can you post a picture of the stadium from the angle you've mentioned?  Just so we can compare..

From looking at photos of the old Mungersdorfer Stadion, the floodlights appear to have been located at each "corner" - the stadium was slightly oval in shape - my memory had them more on the side - sorry.  In light of that, I've changed my mind and believe that this could well be Cologne.   Cologne always brings back memories -  the overnight coach journeys to get there and back.  My mate Dave getting stung by a wasp during Craaft's set, singing Happy Birthday to Brian - him playing the intro to '39 - and how much more I enjoyed the band's performance than at Wembley the week before...

Nostalgia ain't what it used to be, you know...

Thanks for clarifying.  How lucky you were to see these shows.

I am from cologne and went to the "Müngersdorfer Stadion" (now demolished for a beautiful pure football stadium, the "RheinEnergieStadion", where QPR played in 2005) very often to see concerts and of course our football club, 1. FC Köln. I was too young to see the Magic Show, though.

My first thought was that it is our old stadium, and the huge floodlights actually were located just outside the picture. So yes, I'm also convinced it is cologne.

Yeah this picture is from Maine Road Stadium, Manchester

The arguments for Cologne are pretty compelling at this point.  Can you post a picture of the venue in Manchester to compare?
