Posted on 04.08.2003 10:03:45

Which Queen/Solo concerts did you attend? And
which is your favourite among them?
I'm 26 years old, so no Queen concerts for me...
I saw the following:

The Cross Azzurro '90
Brian Pavarotti and friends '92
Brian Modena '93 (Guns 'n Roses concert)
Roger Milano '94
Roger Genova '95
Roger Cesena '95
Brian Milano '98
Brian Zurigo '98
Queen Pavarotti and Friends 2003

My favourite are Brian Milano '98 and this year's Queen show!!

	so far only Brian May Utrecht 1998 Queen Amsterdam 2002 Loved them both, though Amsterdam was probably more the excitement of seeing them perform, than the quality of the performance :-D

	Brian May 24 September 1998 Groningen Loved it, just a coincidence that i found out about it the same day.Very surprised that is was not yet selled out.. :-)) From the whole setlist i only remember Love Of my life ..

	Prophet - have you got ticket stubs from the gigs you attended? I have never seen one for the Azzurro 1990 performance for example. I have only a few concert experiences so far: 22.10.1998 Prague (Brian) 24.11.2001 London (Brian + Roger) 27.5.2003 Modena (Bran + Roger) (Oh and apologies for the cut in the headline. I have set the db column for 32 characters only. I've just corrected it to 64).

Yes, I still have some of them ( Brian Milano, Brian+Guns,Pavarotti 2003 and Roger's ).
Concerning Azzurro, at that time I was there on holiday with my family,and I went to see the show with my father. It was an outdoor show for TV broadcast, but I think it was free , 'cause I remember we hadn't to buy a ticket,we just went to the place. I remember it was July, and that I only knew Roger among the musicians :-)

	Anyway, if you have any of the tickets for trade (except for Pavarotti which I have mine :) or if any of them is not featured in my ticket gallery yet, please let me know :-)

Ok, but to be honest I'd like to take them with me as beautiful memories...However, I've seen that the only ticket that I have and that is not featured in your gallery is Roger's Cesena.
I can send you a scan if you want ( but it's almost identical to Roger's Genova....).
I can also provide you a scan of my ticket-invitation (signed by Brian) to '' Made in Heaven:The Films ''.
This took place in Venice, August '96,at the annual Cinema Festival where B&R attended.

I managed to see Queen three times. All during the 70's. All at the same venue (Maple Leaf Gardens in Toronto).

Saw them for the first time on February 1, 1977 during the A Day At The Races tour. Blew me away. Opening with Tie Your Mother Down and Freddie in his white boiler suit. Also got to see their Rock 'n' Roll Medley of Big Spender, Be Bop Alula, Jailhouse Rock. Seats weren't bad. Floors about 40 rows back. Awesome show.

Next time I saw them was on the News Of The World Tour later on that same year. November 21, 1977. That was the tour with the giant crown covering the stage. Freddie on one speaker stack and Brian on the other as the beat to We Will Rock You pounds out. Then down the ramps as the crown raises into the fast version of WWRY. Incredible.

Last time I saw them was on December 4, 1978 on the Jazz tour. Totally awesome seats. Sixth row dead centre. Just at the end of the ramp the band had coming into the crowd. Thunder, white light, fog and Freddie in his biker outfit. We Will Rock You fast version.

I had the oppertunity to see them on the Game tour but had to back out at the last minute. Always thought I would get another chance. Silly me.

	To Greenfella: It is said that November 21, 1977 was the only ever time when Queen performed 'Sleeping On a Sidewalk' ... as you attended that show could you tell me if that is true???
