What city will be first? Are we that desperate for topics?

I think that Greenville, SC is a possibility. A lot of classic rock acts play there.

We can dream anyway, can't we, Pieter? ;-)

What nice venue? They all are underwhelming or outright crappy.
Only nearby Alpine Valley is suitable ... and it happens to be an hour's drive from Chicago, Mllwaukee, Madison & Rockford.[/QUOTE]
I think an outdoor venue is out since I think they will tour early spring.
Are any venues nice? I hate the Alstate arena but it is the size they are probably shooting for- The US Cellular Area aka MECCA in MKE is great (Queen has played there a few times 1980, 1977/78?) Alliant Energy Center aka as Dane Co.
Coliseum--they played Madison a lot in the 70's.
I could see Detroit as an opener-at the Cobb Center(the old venue downtown)

Cleveland, Ohio (Site of the American Queen conventions + Queen played twice there in 80-82 tour or Pittsburgh,Pennsylvanian (2 beautiful outdoor stadiums - PNC Park or Heinz Field (Where the Stones just recently played) or the impossible, Youngstown, Ohio - lol
I hope they won't forget their Canadian fans. Vancouver, Edmonton, Toronto and Montreal all make sense. Hopefully Paul's wife reminds him where she's from.

Bollocks. It was a ''nice accomodation'' except for those fans living in the middle of the country.
There are a wealth of cities betweent the coasts and hopefully, by ''heartland,'' Brian is referring to more than Chicago. I mean if Aerosmith can play the Midwest ad nauseum, surely QPR can make one swing through.

I think Denver would be a nice place to start... of course that's where I live, so I'm a little biased.
Incidentally, Denver is the first city Queen ever played in the US (supporting Mott the Hoople)... they never came back again.

Nevermind first city in the U.S., the first North American show should be in Toronto!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Oh man i hope this does'nt mean yet ANOTHER trip out to Ohio!!
I think Ohio, Michigan, and Illinos are places he is referring to. Brian knows very well the huge amount of fans out in those parts ( they let him know regularly i'm sure!) so when they next plan on a trip through, surely these will be places they will consider.
Of course, then again Brian could be considering bringing the tour to Breakthru 2006....Ha ha !!

Yeah, it's in Cleveland AGAIN! (Oh well -- we're having another one, that says it all -- it survived and we US Queen fans invite those of you who missed the last five to come on next August and get ready to ROCK!!!)
