QUEEN
Now Playing: Queen
Topic: Riff-In-A-Jiff

Of all of the concerts I've been to over the years, I've always considered the one time I saw Queen to be the best show I've ever seen. "The Game" Tour. Exhibition Stadium in Toronto. Other Ontario locals might remember Exhibition Stadium, which is gone now. I always loved concerts there, the atmosphere was great. The concert going on, and off to the left you could see the CNE midway lit up and buzzing with all the rides and game booths, etc. And at Exhibition Stadium concerts, lots of the people there would have spent their whole day at the Ex, because your concert ticket got you onto the Ex grounds for free. So we'd usually make a day of it, take the GO train into Toronto, spend the day at the CNE, go to a concert, then head back on the GO train again.

I remember that at one point in that concert Brian May referred to Exhibition Stadium as an "unusual" stadium. It had never occurred to me before that, but it is kind of true. If you look at an overview or seating plan of that stadium, it did have a bit of an unusual shape. Or maybe he was referring to how they set up for CNE Grandstand Shows, with a stage in the middle of the field that faced one side of the stadium, and they filled only that half of the stadium.

Anyhow, Queen did a lot of amazing tunes that night...including this one: 

QUEEN - "Keep Yourself Alive"          (B. May)
