Queen, 1977, Wings Stadium, Kalamazoo, MI

Hello,
I consider myself one of the very lucky ones to have seen Queen back in 1977.
I was 19-years-old and since it has been over 40 years ago, I most certainly wish my memories were more clear.
I was there with my boyfriend at the time along with several of my friends. We were recalling the other day how there was a bit of a mad rush at the doors when they opened, which was a bit scary for a few minutes, but settled down soon after. We could order beer inside of course, which I'm sure I had my lion share of and I recall of course the sweet aromas of pot in the air all around me:)
The band was great, the light show wonderful and the vibe a bit different in the Queen crowd. It was very cool to be there.
My favorite songs played were Tie Your Mother Down, White Queen, Somebody To Love, Killer Queen, Bohemian Rhapsody, and Big Spender. They played many more that I don't recall.
Being 19 and the 70s, I wish I hadn't been drinking quite so much at the time, I likely would have remembered it more.
I wish I could find some photos or videos of that concert. Never have seen any. Have always been a fan.

Good way to start! 77 seems a long time ago.

It might be worth checking www.queenlive.ca for the setlist and a couple of photos. Loads of info there about all the tours.

Maybe the tape will surface someday

That's why I tape all shows I visit and don't drink at shows.

Brilliant, Mike - thanks for the better quality scans !

Here's a shot from of the audience from a book that came out a few years back (divided into left and right pages):

The reviewer really does a number on Thin Lizzy. Until this, I've never seen a negative review of them on that tour.

And here's the band at Kalamazoo airport.

Thanks, Mike

Thank you so much! Treasures! Wow!
