I belive Brian May, i've sent him mail that YoungStratMan has Sunbury video and here is Brians reply ony my G-Mail: Brian's Soapbox Aug 14 (2 days ago) Well, Hrvoje ....perhaps he is not telling the truth ...because there was no booing ! Of that I am sure ! Well, good luck .... but don't feel bad if you don't get it ... ... it is not worth dealing with people who are difficult. The recording is bound to be quite bad in any case .. and is illegal !! |
| Erin 16.08.2006 11:26 |
Illegal..lol |
| theCro 16.08.2006 11:28 |
he perhaps means that shooting without accreditation or paying is not legal... then the bootlegs are illegall to? |
| john bodega 16.08.2006 11:34 |
From what I've heard most of the 'booing' and negativity was from an idiot announcer. Anyway. |

Anyways, if there was a such message or reply, it would be not wise to copy and paste it from there, as it states on the soapbox! |

Maybe you could ask him if the stories about the announcer calling them limy bastards and stuck-up pommies, mooning the audience, and their lighting rig breaking down are true or not.

I lived in Australia in the 70,s and remember the talk after the show very well. My recollection, and I am pretty sure this is how it went, is as follows. Queen, largley unknown, played their set and were very well received. They did get calls for an encore. They were to be followed by an ozzie band that was very well known and popular at the time, whose name I forget, but sounded like Ambrosia. Perhaps that who it was. Anyway, the dick of an emcee egged the crowd on saying things like "we don't need these pommies back, we want an Aussie band", stuff like that. Naturally the local and probably very drunk audience did boo, not about Queens performance, but at not wanting Queen to come out and wanting their local band instead. The press being what it is figured booing the band sounded better and so was born the story, albeit not an accurate one. So there it is, now you know. |
| theCro 16.08.2006 18:07 |
But Brian says there was no booing! |

| theCro 16.08.2006 18:19 |
i still think there was no booing, well at least Brian says it! |
| coops 16.08.2006 20:38 |
This was an outdoor show with a few thousand people, not the tens of thousands we usually see at a Queen show, and the majority of people did not boo, but rather voiced their enthusiasm to see the band they mostly came to see anyway. Don't forget, Queen was not the headliner band. |
| Bambi 16.08.2006 20:42 |
i did read that they were not well recieved down under, and were booed. |
| theCro 16.08.2006 22:15 |
i've heard that too they were good recived |
| JFarnham 16.08.2006 22:32 |
theCro wrote: i've heard that too they were good recivedI know you are wrong. Sorry mate, but it is true, Queen were not well known or well recieved in AU at this point. Brian is like anyone on else that has led a very busy life, we all seem to forget the bad and try to just remember the good. |
| theCro 17.08.2006 11:06 |
you're wrong, the only one who didnt like them was commecntator of the show who called them pommies and other insults! |
| TheGame 17.08.2006 12:06 |
Why on earth couldn't he post it on his site? Did you only ask him about the booing? If you ought to send such a mail to Brian, you should have more information about this, and not only ask about one certain thing. |

You should see what John Deacon emails me about Brian! |

In Chicago 77 on the ADATR tour, a couple people were throwing eggs at the band, and Brian tripped on one of them. The band left the stage, and considered abandoning the gig, but they decided not to, as they didn't want to "let the bad guys win", as Brian later put it. So one can imagine what Sunbury was like from the band's perspective... |

I've met enough people who were there to believe that many of the crowd did in fact boo them. One of them even says he still feels bad about it to this day. |
