My favourite show was the 1979 show, I touched Freddies leg and he touched my hand..

My feelings where always the same about seeing Queen, it wasn’t just a show it was a spectacular experience no band came close to them except maybe led zeppelin who I saw at Knebworth in 1979 But Queen where an class act no one could compete with Freddie always seemed ghostly white in colour when I saw them, even back then it seemed like a dream and combine that with his vocals and Brian, John and Roger behind him and a lighting rig that seemed to be alive and my word Queen were very loud, very often I couldn’t hear anything for days after there show. The 86 Wembley show was probably my least favourite show because the stage was massive and I felt like I needed binoculars to see them but Knebworth 86 had a better feeling about it, but I don’t why I had a strange feeling that I wouldn’t see freddie again live and I remember telling my dad that when I got home The freddie tribute show was just very sad and several times I cried when Freddie came on the large screen..it was a odd concert and you could see how upset Brian, John and Roger was Are queen still queen after 1991…well no there not , smile maybe but not queen Do I hate Mr lambert…no I don’t hate him and I’m pleased brian and Roger are still playing, No one will replace Freddie ever..although I’m heterosexual , I love freddie and always will… Queen made me the person I am today..caring loving and a bit mad….
