Hello everyone again,

Queen make a night to remember
That Queen are one of the top creative bands about today was demonstrated at the Caird Hall, Dundee, on Saturday night. The concert was a sell-out and many disappointed fans were turned away.
Those who packed the hall were treated to a virtuoso performance by Queen, who played for an hour and three-quarters. Their number one hit, "Bohemian Rhapsody", greeted the audience and spectacular highting and dry ice matched singer Mercury's angelic white outfit.
In a typical extravagant gesture he toasted Dundee, holding the glass up high, and the audience, jammed in the aisles and up on their feet, loved him. The "bouncers" had a tough job.
Snatches of "Bohemian Rhapsody", interspersed songs from their albums, including their new album, "A Night At The Opera".
"Killer Queen", "Keep Yourself Alive", "Liar" and "Seven Seas Of Rhye" were performed at a thrilling pace, Freddie Mercury using a using all the stage in his showy movements.
Breathtaking
Brian May's guitar work was consistently fine and his effects were breathtaking. Using an echo unit on "Brighton Rock" he seemed to be an orchestra.
With bassist John Deacon standing still and May's concentration on his guitar Mercury shone on the front.
Two encores were given, and at the end Mercury threw red roses to the estatic fans - well, it was "A Night At The Opera".
Mr Big, a four-piece band with two drummers, supported Queen and a greater contrast would be difficult to imagine.
They were powerful and loud, using a feed-back.
