Queen by Bruce Pratt

Maple Leaf Gardens - August 1982

"This was one of two nights Queen played on their "Hot Space" tour.  This was the last tour they did of North America.  The band had preformed in Europe through the winter of 1982, taken a couple of months off and then started the North America leg in late July.  Toronto was their seventh stop in North America and the band was road tested and full of energy.  Freddie Mercury was in top form and to this day is one of the best front men I have ever seen."
