This tour was the first to use the songs We Will Rock You, We Are the Champions and Love of My Life, three of the famous anthems that helped make Queen well-known for their concerts. The tour also marked the first time where a song (I'm In Love With My Car) would not have Mercury on lead vocals, which were, instead, provided by Taylor. It was also the first time the band toured without an opening act. In the book The Show I'll Never Forget: 50 Writers Relive Their Most Memorable Concertgoing Experience, novelist Tracy Chevalier recalls attending one of this tour's concerts at the age of 15:Robert Hilburn of the Los Angeles Times called this concert tour the band's "most spectacularly staged and finely honed show yet". One of the shows on the North American leg at The Houston Summit was filmed and is widely traded among fans. Also, that show saw the band not play "Spread Your Wings" and was the one show where Brian May did his guitar solo spot in normal tuning as the solo would segue into "Now I'm Here" instead of "The Prophet's Song (Reprise)". |
