This is Queen The Greatest,
1
00:00:18,003 --> 00:00:20,452
and this week we head back to 1981,
2
00:00:20,542 --> 00:00:21,634
and one of the biggest,
3
00:00:21,634 --> 00:00:22,917
most ground breaking tours
4
00:00:22,967 --> 00:00:24,503
in Queen’s live history.
5
00:00:24,755 --> 00:00:27,277
It’s the time they rocked
South America.
6
00:00:30,867 --> 00:00:32,241
“South America reared
7
00:00:32,291 --> 00:00:34,407
its head, and we heard rumours that
8
00:00:34,457 --> 00:00:37,302
we were the biggest thing ever
9
00:00:37,352 --> 00:00:40,016
in Argentina and Brazil,
and they started
10
00:00:40,066 --> 00:00:42,132
to ask us to go down there.
11
00:00:42,682 --> 00:00:44,015
And they were saying, ‘you can play
12
00:00:44,065 --> 00:00:45,178
football stadiums down there’
13
00:00:45,178 --> 00:00:46,591
and we went ‘oh, you’re joking’.”
14
00:00:46,720 --> 00:00:47,818
“In those days,
15
00:00:47,876 --> 00:00:50,121
under the dictatorship in Argentina,
16
00:00:50,181 --> 00:00:52,533
we were negotiating with
the Army General,
17
00:00:52,583 --> 00:00:54,496
and he said to me ‘how can I possibly
18
00:00:54,546 --> 00:00:56,945
allow 50,000 young people
into a stadium,
19
00:00:56,995 --> 00:00:58,533
when I can’t control them.
20
00:00:58,586 --> 00:01:00,818
What happens if somebody suddenly
21
00:01:00,818 --> 00:01:02,340
shouts out “Viva Peron”
22
00:01:02,390 --> 00:01:03,860
in the middle of a Queen concert,
23
00:01:03,934 --> 00:01:05,868
and I have a riot on my hands?’
24
00:01:06,352 --> 00:01:09,732
And I tried to explain
to him that rather
25
00:01:09,782 --> 00:01:13,578
like Gladiatorial matches in Rome,
26
00:01:13,578 --> 00:01:15,121
this was panacea to the people.
27
00:01:15,194 --> 00:01:18,725
They never, ever had this before, this
28
00:01:18,775 --> 00:01:20,399
would be an extraordinary experience.’
29
00:01:23,678 --> 00:01:25,173
“So, we got the whole thing
30
00:01:25,223 --> 00:01:27,009
together and it was God knows how many
31
00:01:27,059 --> 00:01:29,132
jumbo jets full of equipment.”
32
00:01:29,322 --> 00:01:30,601
“The travel arrangements
33
00:01:30,651 --> 00:01:32,715
were very scary, with,
you know, driving
34
00:01:32,765 --> 00:01:35,249
the wrong way along a
raised motorway with
35
00:01:35,256 --> 00:01:38,274
outriders, with guys
in big jeeps waving
36
00:01:38,324 --> 00:01:41,300
their big guns and getting
the cars coming
37
00:01:41,300 --> 00:01:44,092
straight towards them to pull over.”
38
00:01:44,128 --> 00:01:45,415
“Fred, how do you feel
39
00:01:45,515 --> 00:01:46,503
playing and singing
40
00:01:46,553 --> 00:01:48,038
before 200,000 people?”
41
00:01:48,395 --> 00:01:49,467
“Haven’t done it yet.”
42
00:01:54,057 --> 00:01:55,410
“I can remember being
43
00:01:55,460 --> 00:01:56,913
nervous the first night,
44
00:01:57,588 --> 00:01:59,980
the top tier alone took 80,000,
45
00:02:00,459 --> 00:02:02,868
and we were in this sort
of dug out which,
46
00:02:02,918 --> 00:02:04,177
I guess, the football teams would
47
00:02:04,227 --> 00:02:05,186
normally be in.
48
00:02:05,356 --> 00:02:07,226
All the windows were broken and I
49
00:02:07,276 --> 00:02:09,726
remember thinking “hmm,
this is, you know,
50
00:02:09,776 --> 00:02:10,914
this is going to take some balls
51
00:02:10,964 --> 00:02:12,010
to walk out there.”
52
00:02:12,391 --> 00:02:13,410
“All the shows done in
53
00:02:13,460 --> 00:02:15,869
Argentina, were all at
football stadiums
54
00:02:15,919 --> 00:02:18,315
and they were very worried
about the pitch
55
00:02:18,365 --> 00:02:19,902
getting damaged, because
it’s their sort
56
00:02:19,952 --> 00:02:21,713
of hallowed ground, the football turf.
57
00:02:22,001 --> 00:02:23,346
And we came up with this idea,
58
00:02:23,396 --> 00:02:24,721
covering it with plastic grass,
59
00:02:24,771 --> 00:02:26,056
and they agreed to it, because
