What was the name of the support band for Queen on this tour when they played in Perth? That band also played Bohemian Rhapsody that night.
I was at the Sydney show in 2nd row day I have a lot of photos and I had an exabition last year, I am selling the prints framed. At $400 each.
The support band I think were called Chalice as I recall Brian liking them. He also liked Taste ,TMG & Ac/Dc but they were not support I think Cold Chisel were but with Ian Moss on vocals for rest of the Tour
I think they were called CHALICE
Sue would you ever Sell your Rose ? ????
I was in 4th Row for the Adelaide Shows a friend of mine caught freddies rose we snuck underneath the stage and saw Roger and Brian was soon escorted out was picked up by brother after the show and Freddie pulled up at the stop lights in his limousine of course we went hysterical he waved and the police told us to move on as the other 3 Queen members followed in their limousines
Roger Roland do you have a website or where we can see them please
I was extremely fortunate to have met the boys in 1976 for their Perth gig. They’re not bad pool players!
