[00:16.30]This is Queen The Greatest,
[00:17.87]
[00:18.00]and this week we head back to 1981,
[00:20.54]and one of the biggest,
[00:21.63]most ground breaking tours
[00:22.97]in Queen’s live history.
[00:24.50]
[00:24.76]It’s the time they rocked South America.
[00:27.28]
[00:30.87]“South America reared
[00:32.29]its head, and we heard rumours that
[00:34.46]we were the biggest thing ever
[00:37.35]in Argentina and Brazil, and they started
[00:40.07]to ask us to go down there.
[00:42.13]
[00:42.68]And they were saying, ‘you can play
[00:44.06]football stadiums down there’
[00:45.18]and we went ‘oh, you’re joking’.”
[00:46.59]
[00:46.72]“In those days,
[00:47.88]under the dictatorship in Argentina,
[00:50.18]we were negotiating with the Army General,
[00:52.58]and he said to me ‘how can I possibly
[00:54.55]allow 50,000 young people into a stadium,
[00:56.100]when I can’t control them.
[00:58.59]What happens if somebody suddenly
[01:00.82]shouts out “Viva Peron”
[01:02.39]in the middle of a Queen concert,
[01:03.93]and I have a riot on my hands?’
[01:05.87]
[01:06.35]And I tried to explain to him that rather
[01:09.78]like Gladiatorial matches in Rome,
[01:13.58]this was panacea to the people.
[01:15.19]They never, ever had this before, this
[01:18.78]would be an extraordinary experience.’
[01:20.40]
[01:23.68]“So, we got the whole thing
[01:25.22]together and it was God knows how many
[01:27.06]jumbo jets full of equipment.”
[01:29.13]
[01:29.32]“The travel arrangements
[01:30.65]were very scary, with, you know, driving
[01:32.76]the wrong way along a raised motorway with
[01:35.26]outriders, with guys in big jeeps waving
[01:38.32]their big guns and getting the cars coming
[01:41.30]straight towards them to pull over.”
[01:44.13]“Fred, how do you feel
[01:45.52]playing and singing
[01:46.55]before 200,000 people?”
[01:48.04]
[01:48.40]“Haven’t done it yet.”
[01:49.47]
[01:54.06]“I can remember being
[01:55.46]nervous the first night,
[01:56.91]
[01:57.59]the top tier alone took 80,000,
[01:59.98]
[02:00.46]and we were in this sort of dug out which,
[02:02.92]I guess, the football teams would
[02:04.23]normally be in.
[02:05.19]
[02:05.36]All the windows were broken and I
[02:07.28]remember thinking “hmm, this is, you know,
[02:09.78]this is going to take some balls
[02:10.96]to walk out there.”
[02:12.01]
[02:12.39]“All the shows done in
[02:13.46]Argentina, were all at football stadiums
[02:15.92]and they were very worried about the pitch
[02:18.36]getting damaged, because it’s their sort
[02:19.95]of hallowed ground, the football turf.
[02:21.71]
[02:22.00]And we came up with this idea,
[02:23.40]covering it with plastic grass,
[02:24.77]and they agreed to it, because
