I see no evidence of any nights where Queen played as support to anyone during 1975.
Just because you personally haven't seen the evidence doesn't mean it doesn't exist.
I'll just leave this here.
Your case is at best weak, no doubt you realised that and rightly removed your "expertise" claim in this instance.
It looks like you're one person operating under 3 or 4 user names who largely exist to troll one person on this forum.
The two images provided present a plausible scenario, and you're just being a contrarian troll resorting to ad hominem arguments and no actual discussion. Stick to the topic at hand instead of wasting people's bandwidth.
Dudeofqueen: Have you ever heard of earning your respect? The Real Wizard has built his status and good reputation over many years contributing in a positive way. Your only contribution (as far as I have seen) is rude responses and negative posts towards certain members on this board. You are of course allowed to disagree in matters, but I have yet to see you respond in a polite and respectful way when you discuss. How difficult can it be? Then again, maybe your intent is not a good discussion? By the looks of it you have several users to back yourself up. How sad is that? I can sense a tiny man in front of the keyboard being incredible jealous of everyone who actually gets recognition for their good and hard work.
So, no doubt, it is possible that Queen opened the Madison show. Even then, REO had a pretty good following in the Midwest. I looked at a few other playbills available from that tour, and a couple are boldly written as 'QUEEN and KANSAS' ....where they could have traded off occasionally.
Not entirely sold on the Madison show order. But I wouldn't bet the farm against it either.

This.^^^^
I would add to that, there are occasions where any of us may disagree with other members. Taking what Another Roger said a step further, if you are polite in the way you voice your disagreement/opinions you are more likely to gain informative responses.
That is how this site has grown through the years, and for some of us continues to do so. Unfortunately, more and more, the negative and abusive tone that some use as their first response is what many take away when they log off. The lack of respect and the lack of proper moderation is fast becoming the foundation of what will become a lasting memory of this site.
It is true that Queen supported Sparks at the Marquee in 1972, and it looks like the only band they supported on their U.S tour in 1975, was REO Speedwagon at Dane County Coliseum on 6 March.

Given a chance to be assholes, people will be assholes. It's a fundamental rule of life. When the cat's away, the mice will play.
And you're right - there are countless people who have occasionally lurked here and walked away with the impression that this place is a petri dish of turgid human behaviour.

Thanks for clarifying.
But we can't say for certain that that was the only 1975 date where they didn't headline. Not much is known about this tour.
I recall an interview (or possibly on his soapbox) with Brian in the last few years where he stated that he and Joe Perry got on well because they were quite chilled, and when playing some dates with Aerosmith they would leave Freddie and Steven Tyler arguing over who was going to go on stage first, and they often ended up rotating. Anyone else remember this?
Yes, it was only one concert cmsdrum. Finally was Queen the first open band and Aerosmith the second open band, and Mott The Hoople the headliner.
I talked with that with Tom Hamilton (bass player from Aerosmith). He tough it was more than one concert, and Steven Tyler though in his biography the concert was canceled, but the truth is they were together in only one concert.
And I think you can not doubt about Real Wizzard reputation. He always said interesting facts, and his web is one of the three better webs about Queen for sure.
