Queen @ Springfield Civic Center

Performers: Queen
Date: November 13, 1977
Venue: Springfield Civic Center, MA
Cost of ticket: $7.50

This was an event that I consciously did not want to miss, even though I was not a Queen fan. But I wanted to experience them and I am very glad that I did.

Brain May's guitar is a sort of drug, or medicine, even better.
It is true that the sound of his guitar is very unique, sweet, fulfilling, but really the guy is a genius. So I was glad I saw him play. Freddie was very corrorgraphed in his movements from one side of the stage to the other - very deliberate. Not as smoothly natural, so I am wondering if performing was really his thing? I don’t know maybe not.

The music was powerful. I don’t think there was a backup band or if I just missed them . . .

Did you see this concert? If so, please leave your memories, comments, thoughts and ideas . . .
