What about stories about ALMOST going to a concert? lol.....I had it all lined up to see Brian in '93 (Royal Oak, MI), but my friend backed out at the last minute :(

Tried to find a recording of that show, but I dont think there is one.......

Brian May Band - Hamilton Canada (opening for GnR). Got lost on the way to the show and missed the first couple songs. My first time seeing any Queen live so I sat there and soaked it all in. Good show. GnR were great too.

Brian May Band - Montreal. Best show. On the floor about 3 rows deep. Also got backstage being connected to other Queen fans who were doing some charity work for AIDs and got permission from the promoter to get Brian's autograph to auction. Got an autograph on the backstage pass which I still have. Brian was very nice and friendly. I was a bit embarrased for how some "fans" were behaving - clamouring for his attention and bringing stacks and stacks of records for the band to sign.

Brian May Band - Toronto. Night after Montreal I believe. Reserved seating and got bumped closer because we were right where the soundboard was. We were husled out of the Montreal backstage pretty quickly but the promoter promised us that we'd have passes for Toronto too. Didn't happen. I brought a date I was trying to impress with the promise that I could get her backstage but didn't get anywhere. Good show but not as good as Montreal.

Queen + PR - Toronto. Not impressed with the recordings I heard from the tour I was going to skip it, but decided to go at the last minute - bought floor seats (15th row) off ebay for super cheap (the guy was super pissed off I got them for about half value). I decided to go myself so I craigslisted the extra ticket and got back all my money - making it a free show. My non-Queen fan friends already had tickets and they thought it was the best show they ever saw. I enjoyed the PR songs best - like it was Paul Rodgers with the worlds best backing band vs Queen with a singer who didn't fit the style. It was great seeing Roger play live though - I'll always remember that.

Some amazing comments and stories there ^^

I agree with that! Bad Company (the song) and All Right Now in the encore were pretty awesome....

I didnt have a computer at that time, so I wasnt following what they were playing on that tour.....so Bad Company came as a pleasant surprise, and I remember hearing WWRY, and thinking "what, no All Right Now?", but that just came next :D

Next concert I go to, whatever it is, I'm gonna try to not know what the setlist is beforehand! It's kinda like knowing what your Xmas presents are before you open them.....lol

Like when I saw Rush back in 98 and they played the complete '2112'.........I about lost my mind.......heheheh....

^ this is the best solution we've got.

Exactly :) Thank you !

I went to see Q+PR on the 2nd of july, 2005, at Lisbon. It was a magical night! As soon as I bought the ticket months earlier I started to dream about the show! I waited the entire afternoon on the artifical grass of Restelo stadium. By chance, I found there people from my own town and we were together the entire show! What a night! The moment I laid my eyes on Brian at the beginning of the show, tears appeared in my eyes! The whole show was very emotional, with all the 29000 fans singing to every single word of every Queen song. The crowd never took a rest, always shouting Bri and Rog's names!
Brian missed the slide on TYMD guitar solo and, if I'm not mistaken, he felt some difficulties on the solo of Love Of My Life.
I remember Brian, the next day thanking all the warm welcome on the show and saying he felt ill after eating some food.
It remains as one of the best days of my entire life!

Queen Wembley 86 [Saturday]

The Cross Cardiff Uni 88
Brian May Cardiff 93 and Brixton 93
Roger Taylor Bristol 94
Roger Taylor Cardiff 99
Queen + PR Cardiff 2005, Dublin 2005, Hyde Park 2005, New Jersey 2005
Queen + PR Cardiff 2008

July 1986- st James park, newcastle. Stood outside with my mum aged 11 lasting memories of walking around the toon with radio gaga blasting through.

June 1993- brian may at Whitley bay ice rink. Cozy Powell the loudest drummer ever, some weirded South American band supported. Day before my 18th birthday too

November 1994- roger at newcastle riverside. One of the best gigs ever and a small venue wish I had got some autographs. Sadly venue not there but the new riverside hosts Geordie shore bollocks!

October 1998 - brian may at newcastle city hall. Glad I got to see him at the legendary city hall, have a boot of the show and remember brian getting shirty with some hecklers. Opened wth since you've been gone and did sail away sweet sister which was awesome.

March 1999 - roger at riverside again which was equally brilliant. Treana Morris did a very good version of sleeping on the sidewalk.

December 2000 - roger at Manchester Apollo. Sas band tribute for Paul young. Lots of good acts on the bill, another great rock venue too outside of newcastle for once...

May 2005 - queen and Paul Rodgers at newcastle arena, a great show and finally seeing RT @ BM together. Never a great venue though, remember watching liverpool beating chelsea in champions league semi when I to home. Happy days.

September 2008 - queen @ pr at newcastle arena. Got crap seats at the back but liked the new stuff despite negative press. Also liked PR

May 2011 and may 2013brian and Kerry. At the sage Gateshead, great venue and also support from vintage trouble. Brian had a barnyard with people talking at 2013 gig.

January 2015 - queen and Adam lambert. Newcastle arena. A great performance and show, queen forever

Would love to hear some of those shows again, just have the 1998 and 1986 one.

BUMP
