FAMOUS CONCERT IN MARQUEE 72- WITH OR WITHOUT SPARKS?

So it appears that anyone who dares to question this is now deemed to be some sort of passive aggressive contrarian troll with multiple accounts. Well I seriously don't give a fuck about all that, and I for one will carry on posting for as long as I can be bothered. The bottom line is there is still currently no REAL evidence that confirms Queen were a support act during 1975, nada, zilch, not even for ONE instance it seems. It also amazes me that ad hominem arguments are repeatedly used by the same person who is constantly flagging them up! Proving something you say actually happened is what you need to do, rather than putting the onus on somebody else to prove it didn't.

Read GT's post again. He worked for the band - he knows what he's talking about.

Are you done trolling yet?

If you want to cling on to what is now reduced to a single date in '75, then perhaps GT can find some concrete evidence to support this for you. Good old fashioned facts, which you seem to be a bit short of in this instance.

I've supported my original argument with evidence, and it was corroborated with supporting evidence. You're just being a cunt now.

Have you nothing better to do than be a troll?

Evidence? A dodgy looking flyer with no mention of a support band.

To be fair, having worked for the band doesn't deem anybody's claims as automatically true. It's not a matter of authority, but a matter of evidence. And you do have evidence, so that's absolutely fine.

PS: Nothing personal against GT (or anybody else who works, worked or may at some point work for the band). It's just that 'because so and so said so' is not a valid argument.

Are you thick?

Look at the poster again - there is a picture of REO Speedwagon, indicating they are the main act.

And the "with Queen" (and no picture of Queen) indicates they are the supporting act.

I'm done here. You're just trolling.

Are you? It's a dodgy looking flyer, and far from conclusive proof.

Then I guess we're at an impasse.

But on the bright side, it did reveal your inability to recognize a support band on a poster, real or otherwise.

Not at all, all I see is the wrong line up of REO Speedwagon on what might be a scan of some dodgy looking flyer. The same scan another website uses whilst describing them as the support band. I'm not saying they WERE the support, just that there's currently no REAL evidence that Queen were either. But on the bright side, your inability to understand that, and the fact that you had to resort to obscene name calling should make you feel rather embarrassed now. Why not apply your own double header logic when you look at the scan of the actual ticket? Queen may be written second, but the text is no smaller, and it doesn't say "with" or "supporting act":

Fight! Fight!

Devil's Advocate,

You're bashing your head against a brick wall on this old son; from experience with this character, you have to remember that, now The Real Wizard's website is so comprehensive and so INFINITELY BETTER than the similar +official product+ QPL have out there, he's able to position himself as a completely self-styled EXPERT in all things to do with the live history of Queen.

I'm sure he's still holding out for that olive branch from Greggy Boy and offer of collaboration in return for some kind of credit in the mythological version 24 of "The Concert File".

He's able to make bold statements such as his original on here and will have his fans taking it as gospel whilst damning anyone for challenging their hero.

He's just a wally with a keyboard who believes his own hype and takes himself far too seriously. His mum's pretty pissed off at the amount of bandwidth he's using on the family's capped broadband limit and that they're getting complaints from his teachers that hours spent wanking by torchlight is giving him a squint and affecting his ability to see the blackboard.

There'll possibly be some sort of semi-smart reply to this after he's sorted out the Kleenex.

It's because it was a cheap ticket printed with dot matrix, and they likely couldn't use multiple text sizes. It was the 70s.

Queen are written second because they were support.

Give it up.

Make up your mind, earlier in the thread you said that was irrelevant!

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":
