In Spain, until Franco died, I think only Beatles came once, but I'm not sure. If you see the documentaries of that day, you can witness that the TV that was made during those days was manipulated by the government. They showed images of the show before it had started mixed with images of the band playing so people of that time would think that Beatles were not succesful in Spain and didn't *corrupt* spanish youth. We all know that it was a lie, but at that time everybody in Spain believed it was a commercial flop.
Fortunately Franco died and his dictatorship was over, but I think that Queen came to Spain after he had died, because if he had stayed alive they wouldn't have been allowed to play in Spain.[/QUOTE
But i have read that Queen went to Spain, to Barcelona i guess, in 1974. Maybe im wrong, or Franco was to ill to avoid it?
