FAMOUS CONCERT IN MARQUEE 72- WITH OR WITHOUT SPARKS?

In the great website said all the details but....http://www.queenlive.ca/
Sparks said they also played at that show as the headliner and Queen the open act band. And in setlist.com Sparks has a concert the same day, same year.

What is the true?

It might have been the time they asked Brian to join them,and leave Queen!

No that was later :D

Just more Queen Productions propaganda "We never supported bands, the only time we did that was with Mott The Hoople".

Pim, re:

>Just more Queen Productions propaganda "We never supported bands

Interesting stance that infinitely BETTER bands than Queen are proud of the grounding they had on support slots and doing the hard yards before the publicity machine and hype elevated them......

Queen were still not the main act on many nights even in 1975.

Revisionist history indeed.

Very interesting Bob, who did Queen support in 1975, was this in the US?

The Real Wizard, re:

>Queen were still not the main act on many nights even in 1975.

Nutz, Styx, Kansas and Hustler supporting the band on their HEADLINING tours behind SHA, I see no evidence of any nights where Queen played as support to anyone during 1975.

And

>Revisionist history indeed.

Added to the dramatisation of the procurement and destruction of live tapes on another thread, sounds like you're well-versed in it old son.

Just because you personally haven't seen the evidence doesn't mean it doesn't exist.

I'll just leave this here.

And BOOM befalls the belief of the foolish as the truth dynamite takes off

I am going to make a very educated guess that the REO poster is a phony, similar to Queen Denver 1974 (google that one)

Cronin left in '73, and the band recorded three LPs before he returned in '76.

Hmm.

It wouldn't be the first time a photo with wrong band members was used on a poster. See Yes in 1980 (although there were business reasons to conveniently omit the fact that Jon Anderson had jumped ship).

That aside - on some nights in 75 they did a double header with Kansas, and they rotated nights.

There's no reason to think Queen were seen as bigger than Kansas in the US in 75. Both bands had all gold records.

Kansas may be written second, but the text is no smaller, and it doesn't say "with" or "supporting act":

Sour Milk Sea did a headlining gig at the Roundhouse in 1970 with 3 support bands. Maybe Queen was a step down for Freddie :p
