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!—The preceding unsigned comment was 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.—The preceding unsigned comment was 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).

[edit] 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).
