Little question:

Where was this pic taken on?

Great photo. Never seen it before.

I vote for US 1980... beyond that I have no idea.

100% USA

I've seen this pic (there are 3 or 4 more) for ages and always wondered where is that arena. As you said, Bob, definately from the US 1980, thanks mate ;)

According to www.queenconcerts.com this pic from Omni. 12.08.1980 - Concert: Queen live at the Omni, Atlanta, Georgia, USA

No, it's not.

Possibly Seattle 1st of July 1980, if the photographer has his dates right.

thanks for that, Mark!

unfortunately doesn't look like the Seattle coliseum... I'll keep on searching ;)

For some reason I was thinking mecca arena Milwaukee and I now realise why! same outfit as on the cover of one of my cds (minus shades) obviously just because its similar to its a killers cover dont necessarily mean the photo was taken at the mecca arena. If anyone knows where wardours" its a killer" cover was shot then that could be your location. Hope this helps

Unfortunately they often don't. Sometimes a stock date is chosen, and the first of a month is usually selected.

Nice to see these pics all in one place !
