None, although Queen + Paul Rodgers played at the Gelredome in 2005.

There is a Beatles connection though.
When the Beatles went to Hamburg in 1960 they stopped in Arnhem and John Lennon stole a harmonica (a Hohner Marine Band) from musicstore Bergmann. I used to buy my musical theory and sheetmusic books there. But they went out of business 3 years ago.

They used this harmonica on Love Me Do

Maple Leaf Gardens in Toronto still exists (Queen played there in 77/78/82, but the inside of the building changed greatly over the last 20 years. They gutted the hockey rink and installed a smaller one in its place, and the rest of the building is now a grocery store.

I never saw a hockey game or a concert there, but I did see the lacrosse championship final in 1999. The arena was surprisingly small compared to most arenas of its ilk (which is why it was torn down, of course).

Exhibition Stadium (where Queen played in 1980) was torn down in the late 90s, replaced with a parking lot, and then replaced with another stadium more or less in the same spot called the BMO field.

The Toronto FC play there, but there has only been one concert there to date - Genesis in 2007 (which I attended).

And here is the magnificent Massey Hall in Toronto. Queen were supposed to play here in 1974 and 75, but both shows were cancelled (due to Brian's and Freddie's health, respectively).

The building remains intact, although it's currently undergoing a major renovation. Those balcony seats, as beautiful as they look, are fucking uncomfortable. I've seen countless shows there, but no matter how good they are, after two hours you just can't sit down anymore.

Interestingly enough, Montserrat Caballe once performed here.

Thanks Bob for your expertise! Is it a good word? Massey Hall is especially interesting because of Queen, Ms. Caballe, faithfulness of the building to the older times, and those seats :p

The 'Hardrock Theatre' (Stretford, Manchester UK) as it was known in the 1970s which later became a bowling alley and then a B&Q store and is currently empty.

This is where Queen recorded Killer Queen for the Granada TV show '45' in 1974 which unfortunately no longer exists!

A number of big names of the time like Bowie, Led Zepp, Tangerine Dream, Genesis, Roxy Music etc

On a 'school outing' in 71 we went to watch a recording of the pop TV show 'Lift Off With Aysha' !

Amazing stuff. I hope one day someone finds a load of Lift Off episodes. The Bowie 'Starman' performance is considered a holy grail.

I'd forgotten about it until Chopin's post. It briefly had legs :)

Reviving this thread real quick (sorta):

Cool Insuring Arena a.k.a Glens Falls Civic Center
Haven't been inside but headed by it a few times, Queen performed here during The Game tour.
Here's a photo of the outside: https://www.glensfalls.com/glensfallsbusinessjournal/wp-content/uploads/sites/109/2018/07/cool-arena-hc.jpg
it's spelt "deacy"

I've also been to the New York City apartment building Freddie lived in as well as Madison Square Garden (Neither really in my town but I've been to the city a few times)

Also, this is what the Joe Louis Arena looked like with a concert going on (though I have no idea what concert is pictured...lol):

Sad to see a venue being demolished. I'm surprised they never played the Detroit Michigan Theater - It really sad to see that now. I'd love to see it in person.
