Well finally went to see this amazing concert with my daughter tonight in Melbourne (well actually, at Fountain Gate, Narre Warren). The theatre had about 30 people in the audience. Really enjoyed the performance - the sound and visuals were really good. Couldn't understand why there was zero promotion for this - I found it by accident on the Village website - I didn't think it was playing in Melbourne - no movie posters, no advertising, no mention at all on radio / tv - this could have been huge given Queen's strong following in Australia. Would have really liked the concert atmosphere in the theatre with a large crowd.
Still - very thankful that I got to see Queen on the big screen! My blu-ray Freddie documentary and Barcelona box set is in the mail, given it is not being stocked by the major retail chains in Melbourne? Come on guys! Queen are huge in Melbourne, give us some credit!!!
Let's hope there is much better promotion when the WWRY arena tour comes down under..... remember Australia was the second country to host WWRY!! And it was a huge success!
