Indeed - in the end, their most groundbreaking tour was South America 1981. Queen were the first major rock band to play there.
It was kind of like the Beatles in America in 1984. TV programs would be interrupted with updates on Queen sightings in the city. 9 of the top 10 albums in the Argentinian album chart were Queen albums. Such a thing hasn't happened anywhere in the world since.
This picture really says it all, taken moments before Queen took to the stage for their first gig on the continent. One can only imagine the excitement in the crowd -
