370.6rhapsody in WembleyODIHAM::MAILROOMFri Apr 21 1989 15:147
    Queen are touring Europe later this year , and will play a couple
    of Wembley Stadium dates . Don't know the exact dates yet but I've
    got a reserve booking with WS booking office . Keep your eyes peeled,
    or better still , do the same . 

                                    PETE :->

    a system!

	When they decide their European tour, please let me know !
	I'll go to Europe again for the Queen gigs.

	Thank you in advance,

    Still no news yet as to the exact dates - believe me I have tried
    to find out . As to the reserve booking try ringing one of the concert
    travel companies - they'll probably want a deposit .           
                (incidentally , I have to admit to having a contact
    in the Wembley booking office)

    I rang Wembley Stadium booking office today, they didn't know
    anything about Queen playing there this year, and they certainly
    wouldn't take a reserve booking.

370.13Sir Frederick strikes againBISTRO::WARDMon May 15 1989 22:374
    I've heard the new Queen single quite alot down here.   As I don't
    understand Italian radio I thought it was a re-release from the late
    70's (We Are The Champions era) not a new song (honest).   Hard to
    tell really isn't it ??
370.14How to Get the Best Tickets!MAMTS1::TTAYLORFri May 26 1989 19:4632
    Re: .11
    
    Having worked for a Boston promoter for 8 years, I can tell you
    why they won't give you that information.  Booking offices don't
    divulge tickets that haven't yet gone on sale until the band or
    their management gives them permission.  Once the promoter makes
    the announcement via radio or whatever, then it's ok.  So it's very
    possible that they will be touring but for now it's only an unconfirmed
    rumour.
    
    If you have a problem getting tickets, here is my suggestion for
    getting excellent seats (even for a sold-out show).  Every band
    is allotted a certain amount of press tix, and personal tix for
    crew and their own use.  On the day of the show, the band usually
    gives the tour manager a list of the # of tix they need, and the
    crew signs up for tickets they need.  Then the remaining tickets
    get released to the general public.  This usually happens about
    4 pm, during sound check the day of the show.  The box offices never
    announce it, and they usually release these tickets only at the
    location where the band is playing.  These tickets are ALWAYS the
    best seats in the arena, as well.  Usually a band is allotted around
    100 to 200 tickets per show per venue, therefore, a lot of tickets
    are sometimes available, and aren't even sold if no one goes to
    the box office to request them.
    
    If you call the box office at the venue prior to 4 pm, they will
    probably deny there are tickets, but sometimes they do tell you
    over the phone.  Your best bet is to just show up at the box office
    and play the waiting game for a while.  I've worked shows for 8
    years, and EVERY band does this, even in Europe!
    
    Good luck!   Tammi

370.17Freddie alive and kickin' ?WLDWST::FAITKENEx-punk rocker makes goodMon Dec 03 1990 12:1316
    
    So much time has past between note .15 and .16.
    
    Well??
    
    Did they ever tour? 
    How was it? (Brill no doubt)
    The last time Queen toured the states (at least the left coast) was for
    the Hot Space album. Action this day, killed!
    
    Has the new album been released yet? Loved the Miracle! The invisable
    man (CD remix) was my favorite.

Hi, Frank.

	They didn't have a tour for the alubm called The mirracle, 
	Becasuse Freddie didn't want to do so.     
    	So Roger organized his own band called "the Cross" and had
	several gigs in Europe.
	
	The New albume called "Innu..."(I fogat the title, sorry) will
	be released on  January 30th in Japan, so maybe Xmas time or
	new year's time in Europe?!

	And this time, it semms Freddie want to have a tour....

370.19Freddie lives! So does Roger.WLDWST::FAITKENEx-punk rocker makes goodThu Dec 06 1990 11:1413
    Hi Etsi,
    
       It's great to hear there is another album due soon.
       I'll be watching for what ever it's called.
    
       Did "The cross" cut an album or single?
       Do you know how the gig's went?
       I have two of Roger's other albums and there quite good.
       "Airheads" is the cut I usually play for folks.

370.20TKOVOA::NAKAGAWAThu Feb 07 1991 07:2313
Hi,    Frank
   
The album was released , it was called "Inuend" .  
I don't listen it yet, so I can't tell you what it looks like.
The Cross had a gig in London in Xmas with Brian.
Maybe someone here on this notesfile could go there and tell you.
I heard that Freddie was ill now and there is no chance to have 
a tour in this year.
       
Regards,
-Etsi


370.21Urgently infor requiredTKOVOA::NAKAGAWAMon Nov 25 1991 09:239
I don't know if this is the correct note to write this or not, but
please let me know anything about Freddie's.

I heard that Freddie passed away. 
Is that true ?
If that's true, I need to go there, 
so any information will be appreciated.

    If you're talking about Freddie Mercury, then yes. 
    
    Freddie passed away last night at his home.  He died from AIDS.

    Where do you need to go? I understand his funeral (if that's what you
    meant) is to be a quiet affair.

You can't die from AIDS.

He died from broncho-pneumonia according to ITV's Oracle this morning.

    Slight rat hole but that's like saying bullets don't kill you, its just
    the ruptured body organs that cause you to die.

Re .26 and prev:

(a) Mr X, famous Y, died today of Z, an AIDS-related illness.
(b) Mr X, famous Y, died today of AIDS.

The latter is fundamentally correct even if wrong in detail, plus it gets
the message across more snappily.

370.29Doesn't matter enough to discuss does it?NEWOA::SAXBYIs Bart Simpson the anti-Christ?Mon Nov 25 1991 17:399
    
    True, but the ghouls amongst like to have all the details, and it is in
    the nature of AIDS that it just means you die of something else rather
    than of itself. 
    
    The Sun and Sport get the news across snappily, but you'd not rely on
    them for facts, would you?

RE; 23
    

>    Where do you need to go? 

I'm thinking to attend his funeral, it is scheduled this late Thu, but
only close friends. Perhaps they will have another funeral for fans
So I'd like to go that funeral.

Unfortunately my passport was expired, have to wait for 1 week to get 
my new passport. :-( So I really hope I'll be there on time.
