US-DATES

Whatever happened to playing the fucking heartland.

Shit.

Where are you from, Zeni?

Weren't you from the north mid west?

Our Local Classic Rock station WKLH is annoucing the QPR Milwaukee date at 3:30 CDT today. They are giving away tix all week

Way south of there now. I have many metropolitan cities within a decent drive of me, including Dallas, Kansas City, St. Louis, and Houston, but, as my luck would have it, nowhere near QPR.

I repel people apparently.

The heart of rock and roll IS in Cleveland.

(original lyrics from Huey Lewis and the News'
"Heart of Rock and Roll")

If this tour reflects "the heartland of the US" I would love to see q+pr's idea of "the Bible belt."

I was hoping for more dates in the South.

The South is getting the shaft, aside from the one GA date. I don't include FL in this.

Btw: these are all going to be seated concerts??

It's easier to control crowd movement with the seating. 25 years ago at a Who concert a number of people were stampeded and North American promoters from that time have been wary.

I think I'll only go to the following
16-Mar-06 Toronto, Air Canada Centre
17-Mar-06 Buffalo, HSBC Arena

That would have been in Cincinnati. Maybe that is why Brian isn't coming? Damn.

Cincinnati is "The Queen City" isn't it?

Thought that was Charlotte, NC..;-)

LISSER I was hoping they include Cincinnati or at least Columbus on the tour since my Wife and her family is from there. I turned my mother-in-law into a huge Queen fan and now she must be dissapointed. Well, at least Cleveland sound as the closest one. By the way, I was in Cincinnati for the Holidays, nice town, nice people......

Nah, I doubt it has anything to do with that since I saw Bruce Springsteen in 2002 at the U.S. Bank Arena and it was General Admission on the floor and everything went smooth.

They aren't coming to Cincy 'cos Cincinnati doesn't get shit when it comes to concerts anymore unless it's freakin' Dave Matthews Band or Jimmy Buffett. It's almost like a freak occurrence to get a decent act around here anymore.

Tell me about it. I figured we would get

Charlotte, NC
Greenville, SC
Myrtle Beach, SC
Charleston, SC
Augusta, GA

Ok maybe not, but at least one date would have been nice. Maybe they will still surprise us when the dates are officially announced.

I'm kind of shocked they're not doing a single show in Texas.

I'd shit a brick if there was an SC date..;-) I really wanted to take Alan to see them...:-(

Alan is my nearly 9 year old nephew, peeps. He wanted Queen to be his "first concert."
