Queen at Regis College Fieldhouse

Queen performed at Regis College Field-house in Denver on April 16, 1974. This was an unforgettable performance not only for the audience but for Queen. This was Queen's first performance in the United States. Overseas they were a popular band but they had to start off small when they came to America because not many people knew who they were yet.   -written by Kathryn Gaskin
