QUEEN Discography- Cobo Hall, Detroit '78 added (incomplete, but worth it)

[Adami]

Okay, I recognize the King (still sounds kinda weird to say that) and of course Brian May, but who is the lady in the black hat?







(and yeah, she does kinda look like Dee Snider in that one picture)

I think it's Brian's wife.

That's Anita Dobson, famous actress in her own right, and Brian's wife since around 2000 or so.   

(And that was the whole basis of the joke; it was in that ONE PICTURE, which didn't really look like her to me.  She's actually very classy and very attractive in most of the pictures I've seen of her.  I'm deeply sorry if I offended anyone.)

Stads,.....you saved your axe on that one   Oh, and Orbert.... well     

I am going to have to dig for the pix of her with me and the wife from '02 and '04, but in the meantime, here is one of her and Brian in the late 80s

Thanks to TAC for the info of part of this concert being made available just a couple of days ago

Cobo Hall, Detroit November 9th or 10th  Attendance: 11,000 +  https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sXNtDBxAdwo  Grade: A to A+ (other than a slightly harsh cut after TYMD to SHA)

Tie Your Mother Down  Encores:  Sheer Heart Attack / We Will Rock You / We Are The Champions / God Save The Queen



The second release this year of a Detroit show (SHA Tour '75 being the first).  Freddie's voice is a bit off at times (read the review below), but 'so what!'  (plus, he's incorrect in stating that only two songs were performed on the mini drop down stage).   This has the first complete playing of 'Sheer Heart Attack, as a shortened version was always performed during the NOTW tour and prior 'Jazz' shows.

"Thank you.  Goodnight.    See you soon, Detroit."    This gave me goosebumps, as I would see them in Detroit less than two years later!

These shows took place on Thursday and Friday nights. On Saturday, they'd perform at Wings Stadium in Kalamazoo, ...my favorite concert of all time.  So this tape is extra extra special.
