Roger's Solo Tours in the 90s

[rockdave73]

Hello ! Im new here ! . Just wondering if any of you guys have any great memories of Roger's solo tours in the 90s? . I went to 2 of them, both at Manchester University Debating Hall. The first was in Dec 1994 on the Happiness tour, with some band called Colournoise ( or Colourbox?) supporting. AMAZING to see Roger in such a tiny venue. I can even remember they had the Pulp Fiction soundtrack blaring over the P.A. before he came onstage. The second was in Mar 1999, Electric Fire tour. I can really recall Rog and Treana Morris doing Under Pressure and it was really stunning. After the gig me and my two pals (hello Karl and John), got drinking with some guys from "The John Deacon Fan Club", and got all the Uni's bar singing "Dragon Attack" and "love of my life", much to the annoyance of the bar staff. Happy Days!

I saw Roger at the Leadmill in Sheffield in 1999. It was a great night for me because it was the first time I had seen Roger live, and I had a real good spot very close to the stage. Treana was a great support act, and it was on the strength of that slot that I bought her solo album, which I still play a great deal - it's an excellent little album.

Roger was great, opening with "We Will Rock You" which featured Roger on a second set of drums before he came to the front to sing. I rememer Treana blowing my mind with the high falsetto note she hit on 'Under Pressure', and I was delighted to hear Roger sing 'I Want To Break Free' after nearly wearing out my 'Happiness' single that had the live version on the B-side. It was a great concert, the sound was excellent, the show passed very quickly and I had a terrific time!

Hi Dave! Unfortunately, I never had the chance to see Roger live so far - just meant to welcome you here.

My first ever gig was Roger at the Shepherd's Bush Empire on September 15th 1994 his one off gig before the happiness tour!! It was the best show ever and I was so excited that I made myself ill and had to stand near the loo's all night lol

After that my friend and I went to 7 of the electric fire tour and I loved every minute of it ;D
