Queen Tour Itinerary 1971 to 1985

Here are some scans from the 'Complete Works' box set booklet showing the tour itinerary of Queen through the years. A fascinating insight indeed of one of the greatest live bands in the history of modern music.
































A short trip to Holland and Dream Theater

Had a marvellous and dare I say epiphany-inducing trip to the Netherlands recently.
Saw the mighty Dream Theater twice in Amsterdam after initially catching their opening gig in London (Piccadilly Theatre).
The tour is in support of their amazing new album 'The Astonishing'.
I honestly believe they may have 'out-progged' themselves as it is a vast amount of music to take on board.
Seeing the live show made it seem so much simpler as I was struggling to comprehend the 2 cd release clocking in at 2hrs and 10 minutes.
Plus the fact it was only released shortly before they kicked off the tour.

I wholeheartedly believe that this album will do for Dream Theater what 'Operation Mindcrime' did for Queensryche. The music here will last a lifetime and even the machines of the future may be able to access it and ask questions of themselves ?
