Ranking Queen tours

1 Hot Space
2 Crazy
3 Works
4 Magic
5 all the rest

I’m surprised, positively, that a lot of us rank “the works” tour so high. Although I like the set lists, for some reason I don’t like that tour so much, maybe it’s the mixing of the shows, or the drum set up and extra synths, etc. I tend to prefer the sound of the Hot Space tour, and even the Magic tour, for example, over it. But it’s great to know, maybe I should listen more to some bootlegs from that tour !

Sydney

I wish they'd filmed a show on the japan 81 tour.

There are some great Works tour shows tho

I forgot to add Brussels to the highlights of the works Tour. Probably the best show on the tour.
