I was there too. Unfortunately all I see are little boxes with red crosses in them when I try to view your pics, so I think there is a problem with the gallery. I really would like to see them, the crazy tour pics and London 1978 as I was at most of those as well! Are there any other links to them? The Bob Harris documentary has sadly never surfaced to date, but you might be interested in this http://www.queenconcerts.com/queenzone/942157.html |

Wow, you're a very lucky person! What Crazy tour shows did you see and do you remember anything about those shows? I really hope we'll ever be able to hear more recordings from the Crazy tour! 4 recordings(with 2 being very poor)for 20 shows is not enough!:-) |

I was lucky enough to see Queen live quite a few times 18th September 1976 - Hyde Park. Had to go to the toilet before they came on. Found all my mates afterwards about 15ft from the stage, quite an achievement for a fifteen year old. 7th June 1977 - Earls Court - One of my best memories 6th October 1977 - New London Theatre. Impromptu concert after promo filming and a free single. Downloaded the audio cd from this very site recently. About this time I bumped into Mr Deacon at Hamleys Toy shop in London. I had just bought a massive Queen poster in oxford Street about an hour earlier by sheer coincidence. I asked hin to sign it which he did and then the whole store seemed to descend into chaos with everyone wanting an autograph. OOPs! 11th May 1978 - Wembley Empire Poole Now it goes a bit mental :D 10th December 1979 - Brighton 11th December 1979 - Brighton 13th December 1979 - Lyceum 14th December 1979 - Rainbow 17th December 1979 - Tiffanys Purley 19th December 1979 - Mayfair Tottenham - a few miles down the road to me, five foot from stage. Limited audience capacity literally in the hundreds. Surreal!!! 20th December 1979 - Lewisham Odeon 22nd December 1979 - Alexandra Palace - Just down the road again! 26th December 1979 - Hammersmith Odeon - Brilliant gig, thank god for the DVD bootleg! 8th December 1980 - Wembley Arena 9th December 1980 - Wembley Arena 5th June 1982 - Milton Keynes 22nd March 1984 - Break free video shoot - Got there late and couldn't get in. Standing outside feeling pissed off when who should appear but Mr Deacon himself. He asked me for a ciggie and I apologized for Hamleys incident in 1977. Next thing I was in and standing next to the band between shoots. Totally cacking it and I couldn't get a word out. My wife happily chatted to the band and got all their autographs while I stared in awe LOL! Autographs 7th December 1984 - Wembley Arena 15th May 1986 - Friends will be friends video shoot - Got myself in the video and on the cover of the 7" / 12" / Picturedisc Pic 12th July 1986 - Wembley Stadium - You had to be there! Pic 9th August 1986 - Knebworth Pics 20th April 1992 - Tribute - Wembley Stadium. Some of my old tickets Link 1 Link 2 Link 3 Link 4 |

| deleted user 19.03.2009 14:18 |
Yep, heard you on the radio - congratulations. We were both at quite a few together. I do fondly remember the WATC shoot as the concert was an unexpected surprise. I have NO photos of the event and I think yours would be the first I've ever seen, so PLEASE upload them and your other ones somewhere else!! I use http://imageshack.us/ (no registration required) Do you have a link to WATC SP version? Cheers |
| pittrek 19.03.2009 14:53 |
It's on youtube : link and also on one of his compilation DVDs (I don't recall the name now, it's a compilation of various video clips). BTW you've been VERY lucky to see them live so many times, and great photos ! |
| on my way up 19.03.2009 15:57 |
Kurgan100, you're such a lucky person to have seen them so many times(and so many Crazy tour shows of which is little known)! Would be great to be able to hear recordings of those shows but looks like these recordings to not exist:-( Do you remember whether they played Sweet Lady during the second 1977 Earls Court show? |
| deleted user 20.03.2009 05:16 |
Thanks for the link, I must be on that audio somewhere!! As regards to Sweet Lady at Earls Court second night, sorry but I really can't remember. ....and yes I know I was lucky to see them (21 times in all) with Freddie. Still want to see those photos from Holmsey though! PS I have added a link in my earlier post to the last two photos I ever took of the band at Knebworth. |

Thanks so much Holmsey, It's great to see any pics from gigs I've been to. These are the only pics I've ever seen from the New London Theatre though. Do you remember what venue(s) your Crazy Tour pic(s) came from? Love to see the rest. |

Hey I've taken Holmsey's first photo and tried to correct the colors, check the result and tell me what you think. Holmsey - if you like the change, could you please upload all pics separately and in some lossless format (preferably PNG) please ? I'd like to clean em up slightly |
| deleted user 21.03.2009 09:35 |
That looks superb, I was trying to do the same but cannot compete! |

And also thanks to Holmsey for your pics too... they're great to have. |

Thanks Bob, have emailed you. Just for the record I am also very proud to get a credit on both the Greatest Hits 3 (limited edition) CD and the Freddie Mercury tribute DVD for some other photos I submitted. Here's another Wembley pic for your site Wembley 12th July 1986 I have now uploaded the WATC out takes video to rapidshare as a single VOB file (192 MB - LPCM audio with audience) Link |
