I was one of the 200,000 who saw Queen there 30 years ago yesterday
Their last ever major gig with Freddie, and the first time I'd seen them live. Was about two thirds of the way back - the sight of everyone doing Radio Ga Ga was something I'll never forget.
I've seen them since (I was at their first ever gig without Freddie, not counting the tribute shows) but of course it just isn't the same, though it was nice to be able to stand quite close to Brian May doing his widdly thing. For me they miss Deacon a great deal as well as (obviously) Mercury.
