Talk:List of Queen concert tours

Q: Do we need pictures for the decades? It would nicely break up the text a bit.

Yes. This article needs some pictures, especially of lighting rigs.(I found this one (http://pic.piczo.com/img/i119694966_76898_3.jpg) from a Hammersmith Odeon(?) show but it has a watermark.)— miketm - Queen WikiProject - 07:43, 22 November 2006 (UTC)

Q: I think we should definitely change the picture to a Live Aid shot!

I think we should not change it but use both pictures. -Candyfloss 23:58, 21 November 2006 (UTC)

Not to offend anyone, but it seems quite odd that the band is not in the Wembley photo!—Preceding unsigned comment added by 210.54.68.233 (talk • contribs)

Q: According to Queen-Live by Brooks, the band did 704 concerts. But this number could be debated.—Preceding unsigned comment added by 210.55.123.100 (talk • contribs)

I can assure you that there are many, many mistakes in this book... -Candyfloss 23:58, 21 November 2006 (UTC)

Q: "The band first began to play "Saturday Night's Alright For Fighting" by Elton John on this tour which thereafter featured regularly on many future tours." This statement is incorrect. "Saturday Night's Alright" was played *maybe* once a tour, on very rare occasions. The fact that it happened to show up at Earl's Court and Wembley (two of the most famous gigs) seem to be misleading the author of that statement. -Axle

I have to admit that I am somewhat confused. Apart from the Magic Tour, SNAFF was played on numerous occasions. I have a number of bootleg recordings and Greg Brook's book has the song in many setlists. Perhaps you are thinking of Big Spender as this was hardly ever played in Queen's latter concerts but was in the Wembley gig. I have put the sentence back.—The preceding unsigned comment was added by 210.54.201.47 (talk • contribs).

Film or shot on videotape?

This article is not clear on the difference between shows shot on videotape or film. The majority of the pro-shot stuff in the 70s was shot on videotape not film.

Thanks

Thanks to the person who put in the mention of Love Of My Life! I thought I had ticked off all the usual trademarks of Queen's live career. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 210.55.124.199 (talk) 05:04, 9 February 2007 (UTC).

About critics liking Queen + Paul Rodgers

Don't know about how it was at other places, but in Sweden they were hated by critics (altough maybe all the reviewers where Queen-haters). So maybe we should state they had a mixed reception?

Was/Is

Queen is still performing with lead signer Brian Rodgers, so the opening sentence: "The English rock band Queen is noted for live performances with an energetic atmosphere" is correct. But then the opening para changes tense to past, starting with the next sentence: "A diverse catalogue of songs, massive sound systems, huge lighting rigs, an arsenal of pyrotechnics and many extravagant costumes helped turn shows into entertaining, theatrical events." And so on. The tenses bother me - shouldn't they be uniform, except when the reference is clearly to the Freddie Mercury era of the past? Glane23 (talk) 20:43, 23 May 2008 (UTC)

Bias/neutrality - self-research?

Reading this, especially the introduction, it seems like there are some issues here with objectivity and possibly personal research. A lot of loaded words are being used, and there is very little citing of sources. This is written more like a PR for the band than an objective encyclopedia article. I removed the flag for copy editing because there don't appear to be any major copy editing related errors; however, other issues may need to be examined. Maybe I'm reading too much into this... any thoughts from anyone? lesthaeghet (talk) 05:41, 5 July 2008 (UTC)

First concert filmed

This article states that the Houston concert was the first filmed, but I have just watched the Montreal concert from 1981, that PBS claims to be the first concert filmed. I think they are correct. As well, it was noted that Freddie Mercury slowly stripped during the Montreal concert, that the film would be shown chronologically. 76.70.116.200 (talk) 01:30, 13 September 2008 (UTC)

Queen's Line-Up

I found some mistakes, or things that need to be revisioned:

1971-1981 --> Brian May: Banjo. In the Classic Albums: A Night At The Opera documentary, Brian says that he played an ukelele/banjo. He said something like "This is an ukelele/banjo not an ukelele and not a banjo"

removing POV tag with no active discussion per Template:POV

I've removed an old neutrality tag from this page that appears to have no active discussion per the instructions at Template:POV:

This template is not meant to be a permanent resident on any article. Remove this template whenever:

1. There is consensus on the talkpage or the NPOV Noticeboard that the issue has been resolved
2. It is not clear what the neutrality issue is, and no satisfactory explanation has been given
3. In the absence of any discussion, or if the discussion has become dormant.

Since there's no evidence of ongoing discussion, I'm removing the tag for now. If discussion is continuing and I've failed to see it, however, please feel free to restore the template and continue to address the issues. Thanks to everybody working on this one! -- Khazar2 (talk) 13:38, 14 June 2013 (UTC)

Deletion?

Does anyone else think we should just make this more concise and then transfer it to the page for Queen?

What Happened to the Tour Articles Before the "A Day at the Races Tour?"

Every tour from before the "A Day at the Races Tour" no longer have articles. Why is that? Jackman96 (talk) 03:14, 31 January 2024 (UTC)
