Tbh I can’t remember but I’d guess it would have been the second show.
It seems we must have been to a lot of the same gigs back then, we both were at ‘The Tubes’ and ‘Kiss’
Sadly I wasn’t one of the thousands that saw The Sex Pistols’ at the lesser Free Trade Hall nor did I go to York away!
I was also at those FTH gigs. And many more around that time, from Kraftwerk to Blue Oyster Cult (supported by Japan) Black Sabbath to ELO, and Thin Lizzy seemed to be on every other month, lol.
Queen's Palace gig was my first ever too. Saw them on every UK tour after, often more than once up to 1986 at maine Road. 16 times in total .... yes, even the Hot Space tour @jimharri ;-) (Actually the tracks from that album came across much better live. Especially Staying Power which was excellent.
They lost me on record after Hot Space, which while it didn't work, was for me the last time they tried new things. It all seemed very safe and often bland after that effort. The Gaga/Break Free/Want It All stuff ...
Though Innuendo showed glimpses of their glory days, the title track most so.
SHA is my joint favourite album alongside Queen II.

Can only be a 10 from me. A stone cold classic. (pun intended)

Yeah; I went to the Elland Road concert, May 1982. Baking hot day, Julian Cope getting bottled off the stage (Joan Jett and the Blackhearts and Heart were the other support acts). Fantastic concert; just a pity it was promoting such a horrendous album.I was also at those FTH gigs.

You are the master of pulling these one-off posters in for a high score :)Yes.
That'll round up nicely to 9/10.
Thank you
To be fair, it happens with a lot of nominations but I think yours just land nicely with people of a certain age.
