Is this from Leeds 82? |
| que.123 24.02.2016 11:20 |
Hi Real Wizard, I was at that show and I can confirm it is from Elland Road Leeds. In the photo below Leeds United are playing in their traditional all white and you can see the distinctive floodlight on top of the Lowfields Road stand, it matches the one in your picture. I was actually in that stand on the day of the concert, it was demolished at the end of the 1992 soccer season to make way for a new one. |

Great photo! Thanks Real Wizard! ;) |

Being from Sunderland, I will never forget Leeds, for obvious reasons. |

Hi Wiz ! So Leeds is in the books I guess :) The Uploader claimed this one as Boston 74...don't know if true. |

As a Boro fan I would like to thank Leeds Utd for the unending comedy show that is dirty, dirty Leeds. Bit of a bogey team for us lately though :-( |

As the topic starter The Real Wizard is probably wondering what the hell we are talking about! |

I was too. So i had to dig a little and in the process learn more about the wonderful history of the english football. Now i am a bit more knowledgeable about the "dirty Leeds" and how they used the same tactics of the Southamerican teams of the '70s. |

In the thread below someone says that they have actually seen amateur video footage of the Leeds Queen show: link Unfortunately the discussion did not appear to produce any evidence for the claim. |
| que.123 28.02.2016 07:05 |
There are a couple of nice colour photos from the Leeds concert on the link below, the seller is claiming Freddie is wearing a Leeds United scarf? The away strip at the time was all yellow and there were a lot of yellow Leeds United wool and silk scarfs around (I had a couple myself). The fashion at the time was to sometimes wear them tied around the wrist but I'm not sure that is one, maybe it is? link Freddie did sometimes wear the team colours e.g. the Argentina shirt in Buenos Aires or the Seibu Lions baseball cap in Tokorozawa. The yellow "scarf" is always an indication that the photo is from Leeds. |

It's definitely not a football scarf - it's just something Freddie had on his wrist. Thanks for posting these links ! Someone else in the leedsforum thread said they have a bunch of pics from the show, but nothing seemed to come from that, either. A shame. But if I had a dime for every time I read about a supposed recording that never got out there, I'd be a rich man. Sometimes these stories are just that - stories. Years, drugs, wishful thinking, or any combination thereof tend to be what create many of these tales. |

£425 is daylight robbery, no doubt. But, the creator of a piece of art - be it a painting, a photo (it's debatable whether photography is art, but there are those who think it is), etc. - has the right to ask any price they want for it. I could paint something and ask for £100,000. If you really want it, then give me the money. If not, don't. In the very early 70s, Picasso was being interviewed for a well-known magazine. As he was speaking to the interviewer, he was doodling on a piece of paper. When the interview was over, Picasso crumpled the paper and threw it in the bin. The interviewer asked, "can I have that?", to which Picasso replied, "sure, 10,000 dollars". I know that two simple photos of Freddie are not a Picasso, but this is just to illustrate the point. |

There are, like words and drawing, rubbish pictures, functional pictures, and art pictures. That brazilian guy with a pig in the head could help here... |

/\ I'm here! Well, it's my job to tell people to buy my stuff and I call it art. So, i'm not the best person to give a decent opinion about this. HAHA Just kidding. It's a hard subject, since there are photos and photos. There are documental stuff, just for the matter of some kind of record (criminal, for example). There are photos that are REALLY artistically produced, considering specific lenses, locations, time of day, the edition part (Lightroom, Photoshop, etc), and there are those automatic stuff done by some amateurs. So, I'd say that we can consider that mainly there are 2 categories: Snapshots vs Photographies. Snapshots are like that Freddie stuff that que.123 posted, someone with a camera clicked and "Oh, okay, I've photographed Freddie". A (real) photography would be that iconic Wembley photo (link or this one (link. It's really nicely composed, with a nice choice of lens, it's a pretty awesome photo, not just an automatic click. Those are my 2 cents about it. =P |

Lol at that price. Not sure who in their right mind would buy those especially since the original negatives are not included (at least I didn't see it mentioned). Not to mention that they are essentially amateur snapshots, like Bruno said. But hey, the owner can ask whatever amount he wants, so good luck to him. |

It is a bit of an old thread but here is another Queen at Elland Road related item that may be of interest (probably to look at or to copy to your hard drive rather than to buy), £825 for this concert ticket signed by all four members of the band: link |

Let's not forget SCOTLAND!!! IT was a Scottish club that first WON the European Cup for Britain and.... the only club to date to have done it with a full lineup of players within a 10 km radus of the ground, Rangers for being the first British team of reaching a European final "cup winners cup" and Hibernian for reaching the very first European cup semi final |

I'm a Forest fan, so if you want any info on multiple European Cup wins, just let me know! :-) |

cmsdrums Here is the million dollar question... Can Leicester recreate that magic that inspired Nottingham and do something unimaginable and go on to win their maiden European cup and do a back to back...?? With the relegation of Aston... England would have to be one of the very few leagues in the world with more than one former Euro cup playing in the lower leagues....???? Some more Scottish trivia... Aberdeen were and remain the first and only scottish club to have won two/back to back euro cups, the cup winners cup and the super cup... and... I believe it's Dundee Utd, being one of the very few clubs in Europe to have a 100% winning record agaings Real Madrid!!! there you go!!! KIWIS do have knowledge of SOCCER oops I mean FOOTBALL |

KIWIS do have knowledge of SOCCER oops I mean FOOTBALLEven as a Forest fan I really hope Leicester win the league - totally deserved. Europe will be interesting as they are defensively very sound and can score on the counter, so they might surprise a few teams, but they won't win it. Best thing though would be for them to win the Champions League next year, get relegated from the Premier League and so have to defend the Champions League playing in the Championship! |
