This was the second rock concert I saw, (1977 - A Night at the Opera/ A Day at the Races tour). Queen were great, but Thin Lizzy was better. Note $7.50 ticket price, and tickets still on sale the day of the show, (probably just some 'greys'). Back then, tickets for shows usually went on sale about three weeks before the show, there was about five minutes notice before the show was announced/ tickets went on sale, and all first day ticket sales were cash only.

Good list, OP. Completely agree with #1 and #2 rankings. Pretty surprised the first album is ranked so high; it's got great songs like Liar but is really uneven overall. Jazz deserves it's high ranking; it's under appreciated. I love the whole record and Fat Bottom Girls is something of an anthem for me lol.
Sheer Heart Attack deserves it's Top 5 spot too but I always had mixed feelings about that record. First side is absolutely killer but the second side completely falls apart except for Stone Cold Crazy.

First concert ever for me was Queen at the Montreal Forum in 1981. They made a concert film of it called We Will Rock You. They also premiered their new single that night: Under Pressure.

You're a part of rock 'n' roll history for attending that show, my friend!

Imagine:

Billy Joel's song Piano Man sung by Freddie Mercury with the music of Somebody to Love.

'70 Vegas Elvis singing Crazy Little Thing Called Love.

Motörhead's version of Bohemian Rhapsody.

We Will Rock You covered by Kraftwerk.
