![]() ![]() I think that the Queen structure will continue on, and they will continue to make music. Nobody knows whether Mick Jagger will be singing when he’s 65, or Queen will be performing as Queen. How much longer they record…goodness only knows. Jim Beach, Manager: “I think that in some form or another the music will always continue now, I think they’ve reached that status that their music will be remembered. I don’t think we even knew what was possible.” But I don’t think we quite believed what would happen. ![]() That’s the kind of thing, that’s the kind of belief that kept us going in the early days. Since the start of the tour, June 7, Queen would end up playing to a fraction over one million people.īrian May: “We always believed that we had something special, and that we could do anything that anyone else did. Filmed using nearly every available 35m television camera available in the country the concert would go on to further make history by being broadcast at the end of the year across the Communist Bloc including Czechoslovakia, East Germany, and Yugoslavia as well as being shown in 59 Hungarian cinemas on New Year’s Day 1987.ĭrawing to a close with only dates still to be played in France and Spain, the overwhelming demand back in the UK prompted promoters to hastily add one last massive show to the ‘Magic Tout’ schedule – at the famous Knebworth Park, where the band would end their tour performing an open air show before an audience variously estimated at between 160,000 and 200,000. Making history as the first artists to ever perform anywhere behind the Iron Curtain, the band’s July 27 show on their ‘Magic Tour’ would be played to an audience of over 80,000. That should be very interesting, a good challenge.” It’s going to be great to see if they do the same things, if they have seen the films and whether they’re going to do the same things for “Radio Ga Ga” and things like that. Some places that we’ve already been before, we have a certain idea of how, what they’re going to do. ‘Cos the Russians would never let us in.”įreddie Mercury: “I like doing places that we’ve never done before, to see how they’re going to react. Whatever they do, people are coming from Poland and Czechoslovakia, and a lot of the Eastern Bloc, which is very exciting. Roger Taylor: “Or give them away? I don’t know, I don’t know. They’re selling tickets in…or whatever they do over there. There are people from all over the Iron Curtain bloc coming. : “I think there’s only one country you’ve never been to before?” ![]() Then as Queen’s ‘Magic Tour’ hit the road once again, a new adventure awaited them… You knew you were going to have to work quite hard at Wembley.” ![]() If it’s a ripple, a ripple really won’t register. I’ve seen people die there, because you won’t hear them. You’d better go down well there, you don’t want a quiet audience. Roger Taylor: “I think Wembley was a tough gig, because of the actual physical size of it. However, the close on 150,000 tickets for the ‘Magic Tour’ shows on sale sold out in a matter of hours, and these memorable nights were captured on camera and remain one of Queen’s best-loved live shows to this very day. We’ll only know once the applications start coming in.” And it’s always a time when you sort of go ‘I wonder what is out there? I wonder if they still do want to see us?’ You never know. Brian May: “We’ve been away a long time and tickets will go on sale for Wembley on Friday. ![]()
