Its funny how we don't see any of the all-time-know-it-all-queen-gurus responding here ha ha...

What exactly does that mean? I would consider Kurgan and The Real Wizard to be "gurus" of sorts.

Nevermind. Not trying to put anyone down. It's just that there are just a "very few" know it alls that are always making fun of people that are either new or don't know much or just try to get some basic info. These serious collectors and queen gurus (haven't seen one replying this post mind you) are surprisingly quiet when it comes to say if they have ever been at a queen show.....that's all. As you can see I've been to some gigs and I have a couple of personal stories about the band but something you will never see from me is either arrogance or contempt or a diva attitude which can be very prevalent here...that's all.There is a saying that I like that goes: "tell me what you brag about and I'll tell you what you're lacking of..." I really like it when people post and answer in a team-like constructive way and unfortunately that is not the prime example of some of the people that should be helping the newbies no matter how stupid the question this might me (is BoRhap about AIDS?) right?
my 2 cents that's all

I wanted to see Queen in Chicago in '78 , but I was the eldest child, and my parents were over-protective (worries about drugs, bad neighborhood and horrible snowstorms). I was away at college when they came to Chicago in '80, and I was unaware they were touring the US in 1982 in support of Hot Space.

However, I did see Brian May in '97 (I think) and Queen + PR in 2007 (I think).[/QUOTE]

Ever listen to that Chicago 78 show? I used to have that on CD....awesome!

anyway, my first (and only) one was Q+PR March 2006 at the Palace of Auburn Hills in MI

Magic tour Leiden 1986
BM Rotterdam 1992
BM Utrecht 1998
Queen + PR Antwerpen 2005
Queen + PR Arnhem 2005
Queen + PR Rotterdam 2008

Dayton, Ohio 1978 and Cincinnati, Ohio 1979.

Your lot is pretty impressive too.

Do you recall much about the shows, or is it all kind of hazy now?

They only played Dayton in 75 and 77, and Cincinnati is either 78 or 80.

Do you remember much about the shows?

Thanks to many generous people on QZ, I have 78, 80 and 82 Chicago concerts. Most would probably prefer '78, but Chicago '80 is my favorite of the three

As fan since '74 my first concert was Rotterdam '79, Jazz tour. Than Leiden '80 (The Game tour), Leiden '82 (Hot Space tour, 2 gigs), Leiden '84 ( The Works tour) and Leiden '86 (the Magic tour, 2 gigs). iwas at The Crossconcert, Amsterdam '90, I attended The Freddie Mercury tribute at Wembley '92. And I saw Brian's Back To The Light tour Rotterdam '93 and Queen + Paul Rodgers Arnhem and Aruba '05.
